Holden Viva 2006 manual hatch. Odometer 200 000 kms. Drives well on cool days. On hot days engine begins to cut in and out particularly after engine has warmed up.

there's a pretty good chance you have coolant contamination that's clogging up the flow of the radiator fluid. this would cause unusual strain on the system as it will begin to overheat and the engine may compensate to try to cool it using the thermostat to open the flow of the coolant. but on a cool day, it never needs to.
on a hot day, it's trying to push around gunky coolant and it's not cooling properly, so the engine .. basically sucks to drive.

try having your radiator completely flushed and cleaned out first.

When accelerating fast the engine cuts out suddenly then returns to normal multiple times. If I try to accelerate at a lower pace then it works fine. It feels like an electronic problem

Engine ECU is provided with a high RPM ignition cut off. Perhaps that is what is confusing you. When you accelerate at a fast rate, probably you get higher RPM's and the ECU cuts the ignition to protect the engine from damage.
