Engine stumbles badly upon accelleration I have a TR224 with Comp 918 springs and hardened pushrods.
Before the car has fully warmed up, when I hit the gas at lower RPMs (below 2k) unless I totally feather the throttle it bogs and stumbles and sometimes backfires badly. The car feels like it's about to die on me if I don't let out. After driving for 10-15 mins when it fully warms up it drives just fine.
Any ideas? It almost seems to me like a vacuum leak but I can't find any. I am currently taking off the valve covers to see if maybe one of my rockers came loose (they are really loud).
