No power problem

I've got a question for you all of you about a 1987 900S 5spd with ~130k. The car has a curious problem. If I turn it off and come back after about a half hour, the car seems to hesitate. When I demand power in almost any gear (although it's not as pronounced in 5th), the car balks and doesn't want to go. If I let off, the car seems fine, but it won't take the power. This, of course, leads to problems while driving with ANY traffic because I'm being jerked around in this car at slow speeds! It's worst between 20-35 mph. The only way I can usually get any power is to floor the pedal--the car will pick up some speed slowly and then, as though the car had an epiphany, it will shoot off. However, once I stop flooring it, it will have a hard time holding speed and there is absolutely no acceleration. After about 5-10 minutes of this problem, it also goes away. Any ideas on this? The car's in great shape and little work has been done on it. This is the only problem!
Thanks for your help and input.
