My '83 300CDT has been acting funny, with an occasional power loss when accelerating that I haven't seen described elsewhere on the forum.

Between one stop light and another I might have completely different accelerating power— Accelerating from a stop with the pedal mashed, I might get good acceleration...and then literally accelerating from my next red light it is just slow as molasses.

I changed both fuel filters and the throttle bushing at the firewall appears good. The throttle linkages *appear* to be okay, from what I can tell. I'm baffled. I've seen intermittent acceleration problems described elsewhere (like this, for example) but seems to present very differently from mine.

Ideas?
