Just bought a galant with a sohc 6a12 engine, manual. I noticed that it gets a heavy acceleration when the is warm around 15 mins of driving. The timing is ok the car has no catalytic converter what else can be the problem

Scan for codes and check fuel pressure first with a gauge. Also check for vacuum leaks. Shold have 38 psi at idle and 47-50 w/o vacuum line connected to regulator
