Brian,
One thing no one has mentioned, just happened to me. Check your carb balance between carbs. I stayed up late a few days ago playing with mine and finally at 2 am thought I had them balanced. I use the "unisyn" gauge with the little ball. However, the next morning it didn't seem like it was idling correctly so I set the idle higher. Then I drove the car to my aunt's place, about 1.5 hours away and it dieseled all over the place. Scary. So, as I was about to embark on the return trip I set each carb back to what it was and the car ran fine. When I got home, I busted out the unisyn gauge again, recalibrated the carbs and the problem was solved. Also, I second the tip to use premium. Go for the 93 Octane stuff. You'll be glad you did.
