hello all, my fuel leak and fuel pump valves have been repaired, and my car starts and stays going now. it idles well, and it surges up and down when cold just like it should. it is still at an Amoco service station though because it's not running quite right. the problem is, when you hit the accelerator about 1/2 way down, the car shudders and skips around, then it kind of evens itself out and runs to beat hell. that's what the guys told me it does now, anyway. it kind of acts like it has a turbo - it takes a bit for the engine to do what you tell it to do. anyone have any thoughts on what's up? this isn't a vacuum leak, is it? one of the guys thought it could be that, but he couldn't feel any leaks. if anyone has ANY ideas, they would be most appreciated. they have been working with DMC Joe on it, and they're getting closer, but things aren't quite right yet. if anyone can think of a possible cause, no matter how far fetched, let me know. i'd like to keep the troubleshooting labor bills low!! thanks as always!
