Flat spot on acceleration

My 1994 Audi 80 2.0 petrol has single point fuel injection unit (Bosch, but not sure what 'jetronic' version) that allows car to start and idle smoothly.
But, during the warm-up phase, there is a chronic flat spot on acceleration.
I can drive around it by giving the throttle plenty of movement - like slowly pumping it until it's fully warmed up, but even then there's occasionally a hesitation when trying to gently accelerate. It seems the pedal has to be pressed gradually to the floor to get revs to build smoothly.
There must be either a thermal or throttle position sensor needing cleaned or replaced..?

Difficulty in cold starting golf MKII 1988

If it is the EFi model (electronic fuel injection) then change the coolant temp sensor

If it is the slightly earlier Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical injection it could be either the warm up valve or the 5th injector (Blue coloured part on the end of the fuel rail)

Petrol has a different ignition point than LPG. You might want to get your fuel system recalibrated.

K-Jetronic not working.

You may have a vacuum leak which prevents the sensor plate in the fuel distributor from rising which in turn allows fuel to enter the injectors.
