'82 242 Turbo - running rough 200 1982

So I'm trying to sell my '82 242 T because it has been replaced by an '89 245. It was running pretty smooth and then it sat for about two weeks. Went to drive it around and it was running really rough. It started up just fine, but in 1st or 2nd it bucks and hesitates. Once it warms up, and in 3rd/higher RPM, it starts to run smoother.

My mechanic's first thought was spark plug issues. I haven't heard back from him yet, and of course, someone calls at 7 AM (when did 7 AM become an OK time to call someone?)today about the car. Any thoughts? Anyone interested in an, otherwise, nice 242?

Thanks!
Ragna
