We just brought our newly purchased '73 T3 home. Unfortunately, we have a problem! The engine has a noticable, but not bad misfire at idle. When accelerating, the engine surges repetitively and a strong gas odor surfaces. By strong I mean that I was getting light headed! The car is fuel injected with an automatic transmission. I can't see any visible fuel leaks and the fuel line was replaced by the previous owner. I'm thinking that it may be running very rich. I currently can't get enough power to get out of the valley that we live in. Sometimes, it almost seems like the trans is just slipping and the car is not accelerating at all. Can anyone help me?
