It's just like the title implies. Accelerating from rest, there is hesitation like not enough fuel is getting to the engine.

Once it gets going, everything is fine; both around town and at highway speeds. It is only starting from rest.

New distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and air filter. Flame trap is gone and have never used it.

I am wondering if it is fuel related or if maybe the AMM is dying a slow death.

Any ideas?

1993 240 with 251k on the clock.
