Dump a bottle of fuel system cleaner in with the next tank of gas, that fixed mine, which was doing the exact same thing when I first got it only the EFI version and not the Carb. version. (but then I don't know a whole heck of alot about carb.)

I was thinking it may be some bad gas but the symptoms came on gradually. Started off running like crap for about 10 sec. now I have to fully warm the car up. Once it is warm I have no problems except for an occasional stutter at about 1500-2000 RPM.

I still need some more ideas!!!
