Every time I've had that on a 1.9 and it wasn't 'something normal' ..
say fuel delivery or water in the gas, or clogged fuel filter ..
it was the distributor .
specifically the Hall Sensor
( tho check the wires on the side ..a weak point. )

just had a case of this on one of my 85's recently ... and 'black and
white' ..it was a faulty distributor/Hall Sender. No doubt about it .

Have seen it a lot actually.

In city traffic it started to "flutter when coming off idle. ( Press accelerator and it would not rev- not firing- Work the gas pedal  out and in and it would catch. Finally stalled and would not re-start. Waited ten minutes and started easily, ran strong until it got hot again and started stumbling again. Repeated the wait ten minutes and ran strong again. Temp gauge read normal. Fresh fuel. Baffled...
