Default Car shudders with quick accelerations when warm.

From a dead stop. Once it hits operating temperature of 200° or so is when it is a problem.
It is the same feeling of driving a clutch when someone doesn't know how to drive one and there is shuddering.
My car idles just fine in gear or neutral. It runs fine otherwise.

What gives?

I'd check for a cracked coil terminal. Manually blip the throttle at the throttle body and look for arcing. Mine had a cracked #6 terminal, closest to the alternator bracket on my 92SSE. It was shooting an arc to the bracket. Took a while to figure out. I'd already replaced the ignition wires before I found the real problem.
