Hesitation under acceleration... why?!

On my '89 900S (N/A), I can get an occasional hesitation when I really demand a lot from the car (i.e. usually when going uphill in fourth or fifth, but sometimes in lower gears). It's just a momentary blip and then usually it's fine.
Once or twice, right after I've started the car, I pull out and go up the hill I live on and the car will do a little stutter (a bit longer, repeated hesitation... maybe for two or three seconds). Otherwise, though, there doesn't seem to be any connection to time of driving/warmth of engine. I don't even think there's a connection to the amount of cargo. I've had it do it to me with just me in the car AND when the thing is packed full of my dorm stuff.
Also, now when I start the car, unless I've *just* had it running within minutes, the car will start, and then the RPMs will drop to 0 and it dies. Then, I start it again and it's fine. If I give it some gas when I start it the first time and hold it at a higher RPM for a few seconds, it's fine. Sometimes it will start and waver between ~200 and 1400 RPMs, hunting for 2-3 seconds, and then settling down to 900.
TIA--I appreciate it.
