    could be a few things and vl are known to have that stutter/slight flat spot on acceleration.
    i would suggest clean out dizzy and inspect rotor arm and contacts inside cup.
    clean or replace plugs
    inspect leads as well (replace if necessary)
    fuel filter change
    clean out throttlebody(take off car and completely clean it get it shiny)
    or further clean intake runners and plenum as well
    also check air filter (replace if necessary)
    afm setting not too rich
    electrical plugs/contacts clean and not corroding.
    run some injector cleaner through it
    AAC valve functioning correctly as in inner pin not sticky
    fuel reg working correctly
    i would think once gone through this list you should get on top of that stutter/flutter

    this is what i do when it gets a bit funny


    let us know bud
    goodluck

    mine makes a odd noise when it starts cold, but it's just because the oil hasn't properly circulated yet. I wouldn't worry about it.
