flat spot at part throttle?help


I have a 86 lg4 that still has all the computer controls.The problem is the car runs great at idle and when I give it gas but when im taking off normal and get to about 30mph the car has a bad flat spot if held at that constant speed.But if I press the gas further it takes off fine. WOT is fine.Its like the gas pedal has an inch where nothing happens.I replaced the carb and it does it with this one also.Im starting to think ignition.Its all stock except muffler,cat,module,coil and some other little things.Could it be my accel coil.Is a new distributor worth it just to be sure? $130.00 for a reman. computer controlled one.removing computer isnt a option.thanks
