Well, this vehicle is like playing Whack-A-Mole; every time I fix something another problem surfaces.

The car runs pretty well. Cleaning the entire intake system made a big difference. See 'Stinky Exhaust' for the backstory.

Now, acceleration is 'weird'. The engine revs up smoothly but seems to have power lags. And it's cyclic. Holding the throttle steady, the engine has little power, then good power, then little power and then good power up past about 3200 RPM where it seems to even out to good power.

I would guess vacuum problem, but can't locate a leak. Any ideas??
