my car runs!!!! (sort of)

[Soma576@xxxx]

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!
Andy
