[T3] Fuel Injection/Tune up

[TOASTEDT3@aol.com]

I have a 1971 fuel injected notchback that I bought back in July.  It ran 
great and all I've done to it is change the oil and put gas in.  Lately 
however, it's started to do some things that make me wonder if there's a fuel 
injection problem, or if it just needs a tune-up.  

First, if I don't sit for a good five minutes and let it warm up, it does 
this awful jerking thing when I start to go.  It's only when I give it a good 
amount of gas, not if I just idle it along in our alley.  Matt's car used to 
do this too (it's a 92 GTi with Digifant fuel injection) and he had a thingy 
that regulates fuel on deceleration replaced and now it's fine.  I have no 
idea if fuel injection in a notch and a newer car can even be compared, but 
it makes mþ2õit might be a similar problem since it does the EXACT same 
jerking thing.  The notch just recently started doing this...I've always let 
it warm up, but now I have to sit for longer than I did before.

Second, yesterday I had to sit in traffic while waiting for a train.  I put 
it in neutral and just let it idle for maybe 6-7 minutes.  The idle dropped 
way down several times, but the car never died.  It's never done this 
before...did it just get hot?  It was in the 60's with a nice breeze, so I 
wouldn't think that sitting for 6 mins would do that

Any help is appreciated.
