power loss 200 1987

An intermittent problem has cropped up on my '87 240. Occasionally, when under hard acceleration, the engine will suddenly cut out as if it's starved for fuel. If I ease up on the throttle, it'll continue to run, but with very limited power. I might be able to get it to maintain 45-55 or so by nursing the throttle very gently. If I give it any more throttle, it cuts out. If I stop and turn off the key for a couple of minutes, it'll start back up and seem to be alright again. The external fuel pump, filter, and pump relay are all new. I tried disconnecting the AMM, but there was no discernable difference. Any ideas?
