Starts fine then runs lumpy and slight misfire when choke goes off
I need some advice please I've been driving my cabby since March with no issues I left it on parents drive for 5 days.
Last weekend I picked it up to go for a drive out car started first time choke on everything fine choke went off and car started idling lower than normal drive her up the street and she felt really lumpy and I notice popping sound from exhaust and what sounded like misfire.
So I've changed all plugs new leads and new dizzy cap and rotor had the car checked this weekend by a tuning guy who has set the timing checked CO he said everything is set correct and timing was out.
The car seemed to drive better but there is still a problem.
When on choke everything is fine when off.Car seems to hold back on acceleration and seems really bad at about 2-2,5 rpm almost feels like misfire if you floor it car runs great and quite smooth I have run some expensive injector cleaner through it to see if it helps but doesn't seem any different as anyone ever had this issue or can anyone help the guy who tunes car said it sound like injector I'm not sure everything was ok till I let it sit for a few days

I'll ask the obvious question first, have you checked the overall condition of your fuel system and tank for rust and debris. This is main culprit for most poor running problems. If you haven't done so already I would check this out first.

The guy who came to do the timing seem to think it wasn't fuel blockage of sort could he be wrong he seemed to know what he was on about I'm just stuck mate don't no where to look next I suppose I could check pump ect
