Idles on 4, blip the throttle and she stutters on 3 then in to 4

I have recently Purchased a mk1 sportline and want to use it in this amazing weather but am scared to (as in put kids etc in)
I have changed sparks, leads, and coil, and check the vaccume hoses but still the problem persists , was thinking injectors or fuel pump?
Does smell a little rich…but if anyone is in the hemel hempstead, st albans ,watford area who knows the k jet system inside out, I would pay for their time to help solve this(not just in beer and love…£'s..!)!! give me a bell Cheers Al 07885038655

What petrol are you using?
Super unleaded or normal?

Remove the fuel filler cap and shine a torch down the pipe and look out any signs of rust, mud likes to sit on top of it as it's thrown up there from the wheels. Any rust holes then replace the filler neck ASAP as dirt and water in the fuel system is not good.

I did put some super in.
I will check the filler , but I'm thinking it is injector related or an air leak somewhere…

Super unleaded is the better petrol to run on.
You do need to adjust the timing manually to run on normal unleaded.

Sorry can't be help with a garage local to you.
