Default experienced only please...and I'm not talking about a woman.

my car, about 3 days ago, i noticed that when i would let off (high vacuum), it would sorta jerk slightly, like i was slightly hitting the gas, tapping it...
vacuum reading are consistent tho and i sucked on the vac hose ffromthe regulator to see if the vac ws pulling fuel thru a rip in the diaphragm
no dice. nothing. clean as a whistle.
could it be the 10 degree weather messing with my setup a lil?
i mean the thing drives butter and its not unbearable, jsut someting i noticed...i am running an untuned p30 (rich), 43 psi fp, and loads of % on the afc , all to keep things safe till dyno day. this said, what if it is an over rich condition right before i let off and the plugs are fouling a bit under vacuum and no throttle...but then clear up once i give it throttle and drive?
could it be a slight misadjustment with the tps?
cuz i did notivce my afc was indicating 1.3, 1.7% etc at idle for throttle position instead of 0%...again, this could be the cold doingthis...

It very well could have something to do with the 10 degree weather, what kind of humidity is there, and what kind of atmospheric pressure. A fully built motor would be more sensitive to certain conditions. Best advice, get it tuned.
