My ’83 is falling on it’s face around 3000 RPM’s. If I accelerate slowly it does ok but if I try to accelerate fast it starts bogging. I can put my foot down hard and it decelerates but when I let off it backfires and starts accelerating again. She seems to run better when cold or after sitting for a little while.
I should add that it is extremely hard to start after sitting overnight and once it starts, it smokes lightly with a strong gas smell.
I have recently replaced the MAF and distributor. Also checked for possible false air but found no leaks. And the obvious when I bought the car - fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap, button, ect.
Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious. Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
