Sounds like engine speed sensor is on it's way out. Usually when it starts failing it's Ok on cold engine and cause problems when hot but sometimes can be other way round, presumably due to dry internal joint. as it expands or contracts heating up and cooling down it can make or loose connection. It will get worse with time and fail completely eventually. Plus possibly another problem with cylider 5.
