Since my mailer is on drugs an this might be of general intrest.....

This sounds like the problems I have with my datsun 310. The problem is that
when the car is sitting around for a few minutes with the engine off, the 
temperature under the hood gets VERY hot.  Now we all know hot air expands,
this means that after a few minutes there is not enough oxygen under there
to burn all the gas, especially if you try to accelerate.

The solution I came up with is to run a hose from the air cleaner intake
to the front of the car. This enirely solved the problem, as well as boosting
power and milage while on the highway. (a poor mans turbo).

Another solution is, if you have a thermostat controlled electric fan on 
your radiator, is to rewire
it so that it is conected to the battery rathar than through the ignition.
This would mean that it would keep running for a few minutes after you stopped
the car, and keep things cool under there.  All Rabbits have it hooked
up this way.
