My 72 FI AT fastback has this intermittent problem. Occasionally, when I take it out on the road it will have absolutely no power and bogs down when you step on the gas. You can drive below 20mph then try to increase the speed and the engine bogs down and sputters and backfires it then will barely go above 30-40mph. However, sometimes it is fine and drives like a dream. One scenario that may indicate a fuel problem is: the last time this happened the tank was on about 1/4 tank. I drove around awhile with it bogging down and with engine temp increase the problem got a little better. Then I filled the tank and the problem got a lot better, still a little hesitation but much better. Now I don't know if the engine temp or the gas was what made it perform better. Any ideas?
