Performance issues at same time of day? Weird!

I have new 150 Prado 2.7L petrol. 3000km done. Living abroad in country with poor fuel, but use injector cleaner etc. Weirdly the vehicle loses power at virtually the same time every day, for about an hour period! The rest of the time it runs fine.
It is like there is a shortage of fuel/bad fuel and you just have to feather the power to keep the car moving. I've been wondering if the vehicle ECU has an internal clock and there may be a fault or something.
Anyone heard of an issue like this before?

I see you are in Nigeria, at what time of day it happens? when is too hot? mine is a 2.7 automatic and works well all day, before I have a rav4 and when the day was really hot felt some power loss, maybe timing retarding by ecu, maybe you are using low fuel octane?

For something a little more left field: could it be some sort of electro-magnetic interference?

Only sprang to mind because with my previous laptop (Toshiba) If I turned it on in or next to the car it wouldn't start (the Prado wouldn't start that is!) nor would the key remote work to lock/un-lock it.

Also in a Mazda 4x4 ute I had a handheld UHF would make the wipers go on every time I transmitted.

I reckon you were drinking at the same time each day Mick

I know you cannot lock the car doors using a remote on wireless hill in SA, but there are some strong interferences there. Nigeria has a large scam volume of internet traffic, that may be the common link between alex-C and Mick's laptop!

My left field does seem to have a well stocked fridge...
