That is no answer to my challenge. These are not in public use, as
I stipulated in my post.

AFAIK there is still no system that I know of that meets your claims:
" This is actually something that is tested and implemented.
It is a cheap and reliable way to set up a driverless public
transport."

It may be in tests but it is not publicly implemented.

Well at least one user thinks that this is the case and there's not
much play in my timing chain. It seems to have decent power when the
speed and rpms are up but its the acceleration during daily stop and
go driving where the stumbling occurs. it really feels fuel starved,
but that end has been checked. I am wondering if the coil could be
weak since i don't have an accurate multimeter to test it's ohms
reading while hot versus cold... i have never really been stuck on
reapiring these minor problems before but this stumbling has me
STUMPED. Anyone care to chime in again? I really have tested for a lot
of different issues and have ruled out things like: temp sensor/o2
sensor/EGR valve/vacuum leaks/etc but have made no progress. I have 2
different distributors that also have been checked out and unless they
both have bad sensor/control units in them then that item is ruled out
as well.

MAF sensor? Symptoms sound right. I'm not sure of position of and type
of MAF sensor in a '91, but by mid '90s (GA15/16 "DE") they are a "hot
wire" type mounted just above the throttle body, and they frequently
fail. OEM replacement is not cheap, but you might find someone offering
reconditioned units at about 1/2 OEM price.
