Subject:Some stumbling after warm restart

Today driving the van around to "test out" the new fuel hose.
Everything fine in that regard so far.

Also working well is the gearshift, I have installed new parts and
bushings from front to back.

Here's the issue -- I stopped at the post office for about 10 minutes,
and when I came back out the engine (2.1l WBX) started up just fine.  I
reversed out of the parking spot and was driving out of the parking lot
in 1st gear, when I suddenly lost power.  The motor was still "running"
but had no power at all.  I put in the clutch and tried to rev it.
Nothing, then suddenly it revved up and was fine after that.

Same thing happened later at the supermarket.

I had a more significant, but similar issue with this during the
summer.  I replaced the "Temp II" sensor and it seemed to go away, but
now it seems to be returning or at least a very similar behavior has
started.

Ideas?
