242GT bucking,loss of power 200 1980

posted by  someone claiming to be Robb on  Tue Dec 12 02:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Well as supected,the in-tank hose was kaput and that seems to help with the bucking/lurching but car is now sputtering below 3,500 RPM and miraculously smooths out and has lots of pep from 3,500 up.Runs like crap when cold and takes a VERY delicate touch on the throttle to get it warmed up without stalling.Below 3,500 RPM there is also a lot of sputtering and a choking internal backfire sound occasionally..We recently replaced the thermo-time switch and removed the airbox thermostat assembly with accompanying aluminum hose as this was designed for Sweden...Any suggestions?
