HELP plz '95 Cirrus stumbling on acceleration

'95 Cirrus (2.5L) 74K miles

On an intermittent basis only, but seemingly more frequent, my Cirrus
"stumbles" or feels like it's about to stall when I attempt to
accelerate from a stopped position (stop light, stop sign, etc.)
After one or two seconds, it appears to "kick in" and then drives just
fine.

On this basis, I don't see this as a distributor issue, nor a
crankshaft sensor issue (just had this replaced last week.)

I really need input on this one. That it's intermittent isn't going
to save me any money at the shop, so I'm relying on all of you. Thx!

 

Turns out that the coil (which is incorporated into the design of the
distributor) was going out, which explains why the vehicle got
progressively worse the longer I'd drive it (the more it heats up, the
worse it gets.) When the dealership replaced the distributor
assembly (including coil and camshaft sensor, for $819 ?!) all of the
problems I reported below went away.
