Hey all y'all!

I've read and printed and reread the FAQ and cannot pin point any fixes that mention this issue. Sorry if I missed it, I've missed stuff before ;)

History:
1991 740 wagon
non turbo
non abs
automatic

207k and dealer mantained (Steve of SPK Swedish confirmed this while giving it a quick look as he was fixing an issue I had with the driver side rear shock).

I bought this car 2 weeks ago, runs great, starts great... pulling ~20mpg but I know some tune up work should be done. First off was the molded hose and flame trape. The hose had split and trap clogged, so I ordered one of the master kits pjhannon sells on eBay.

Well after Steve reattached my rear shock I got home and the trap kit was delivered. I waited for the car to cool and installed the kit. My car still has this nasty hesitation when you floor it (or just give it more then a slight amout of throttle). The tach stays steady, but the car has ZERO power. Once it hits ~5mph it goes nice and strong it's just when stopped and trying to take off into traffic.

Steve is going to give me a couple pieces he thinks might be the cause as a way to swap and test... but said y'all are in the know and I might want to post here for some insight.

Thanks in advance, let me know if I missed any critical info.
