3.2 - Throttle occasionally hesitates below 3k

Occasionally in my '85 3.2 the throttle pauses/dips while applying gas, only to pick up again a half second later. The issue only seems to happen below 3,000 rpm and only when the car is warmed up. May be unrelated, but she also just completely died when going around a slow 2nd gear bend, but fired right back up without complaint. The stall was also very smooth, as if one had just flicked a light switch.

The hesitations have me thinking the AFM wiper might need to be adjusted to a new track, but the random stalling out seems to be a complicating variable. Thoughts?
