annoying intermittent no acceleration after timing belt/dist. cap and rotor change 200 1986

after my timing belt change, and all accessory belts change, and cap and rotor change, and motor mounts...

I am now experiencing an intermittent loss of acceleration ... once at 50 mph, once at 20 mph, once right off first start, it will idle fine but just won't accelerate...

when I pull over, stop the engine, then restart then everything is fine...

I'm suspicious of the cap and rotor because it was hard to get that cap back on and the metal cap thingy under the rotor doesn't stay in a set place, the hall sensor connector is fairly loose as well...

could that distributor cause intermittent acceleration problems?

thanks,

jack
