Sluggish 20V Accel.

Ive had a problem with the acceleration in my 20v for a while now, and its seemed to be getting slightly worse these days. When i mash gas, it will gradually gain power in small amounts. untill its a constant good burst of power. I have no idea what that may be....bad gas from the pump maby? AFM settings?

Also i've been burning rich ever since i put in the engine and i cannot seem to solve that problem. The car seems to idle normal. but im at the pump almost every other day. I tried grounding the AFM, ive heard it helps. but. didnt do the trick.....ANY help ?

Any error codes?
How long has it been like this?
Is it a factory 20v or have you done a swap?

I am using the stock AFM from the 20V, with slight mods, such as one or two clicks on the wheel. I tried setting it back to stock but its no help.
And I dont have an engine check light, because I put the 20V into an EE90 rolla.

I've got an AE92 GT dash cluster, so im going to be installing it soon, when I do ill have a engine check light.....BTW....does anyone have the pin outs for the GT Cluster.? Where would i take the signal from for the volt meter, and oil gauge?

It's not a consistant problem, not everytime I drive the car this happends.

Whats scary though, I recently noticed a funny burning like smell every so often. I think it smells like a plastic or hot wire. Im not sure where its coming from, because when I wind up the windows I dont smell it. After a long hard run I touched the wires and ECU to feel if it was getting hot, but it seems to be at a normal temp. So it may be a minor prob.
