Hi there. It looks like you have inspected most of the common culprits of a choppy running engine. However, when the vehicle gets hot and has running issues, it’s commonly caused by the EGR valve or EGR valve temperature solenoid. As the engine gets warm, the exhaust gas recirculation valve can get stuck, leading to a lean engine condition, which typically lowers the RPMs as you’ve indicated.
Check this component and clean it and see if that clears up your problems. If not, I recommend having a certified mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come to your location to inspect your choppy engine issue and find the source of the problem.
