1984 tempo stumbles when first accelerating.

Just recently got an 84 tempo with the 2.3 and a carb. Put plugs, wires, cap and rotor on it, checked the pcv valve and tried adjusting the choke which seems to have 2 rivets and one screw instead of 3 screws. It's got a stumble when starting out or if you blip the throttle. Also put a carb kit in it and cleaned all the jets, and the bowl. Good exhaust on it as well. It's got 16K miles on it. Can anyone help with this?

1987 Ford Tempo

My 1987 Ford Tempo GL Coupe runs great at 169K original miles. But it has developed a bad habit that has stumped two different Mechanics and cost me over $1,000. so far, to fix. Which by the way, no one can figure out what is going on. The problem is that it doesnt idle, and quits going...

Your EGR valve may be different than mine, my Tempo has the early fuel injection.
