Check the spark plug wires for a loose connection or a crack. Sometimes a spark plug wire will work well until internal engine pressures get high, which causes the spark plugs to develop a little extra internal resistance. When that happens the spark can jump through a crack in the wire. Also, check the distributor cap and rotor if they weren't replaced on the tune-up.
AnswerThe distributor cap, rotor, igniton lead set (including the lead to the coil) have all been replaced. The problem doesn't occur all the time when engine is warmed up, never when the engine is cold. Any ideas?ThxMalcolm
AnswerI have solved the problem myself, but for those of you who have experienced a similar issue, you will want to look at replacing the Oxygen sensor. As i ahd repalced the sensor 3 years ago, I didn't think it was the culpurit. It was a Bosch after-market item. My parts guy recommended NTK (made by NGK) O2 sensors for Japanese cars. I did the work this past weekend and the car is back to running normally.CheersMalcolm

What would cause a car to shake and sputter and lose power only under heavy acceleration but not while at idle or low acceleration?
Check your fuel filter before spending money on other troubleshooting procedures. Had the same problem, it would idle fine but about 4000 rpm or heavy exceleration it would start to jerk. so i replaced my cam sensor. Fuel constriction, ignition parts corroded, wet spark plugs. I had this problem caused by a corroded connection on the high-voltage side of the ignition coil. Carburetors could have a failing acceleration pump.

did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity. did you have your ignition coil replaced? the signs are that the ignition coil is overheating thus you are able to restart after an hour, when the coil cools. also check if your ignition coil has a resistor. if it has, have it checked for continuity.
