The head gasket could be the culprit. A friend pulled a 92 944T in my drive, and it started running like Norm is discribing. I remember unplugging the AMM and it smoothed out. I heard later that he had to have a new head gasket installed. I've torn down 4 B230FT engines in the past year and found every one had a head gasket problem from completely blown to weepage between the cylinders. The mileage on those engines ranged from 149k to 200k.
