helpi'm kangarooing!!!!!

how it goes is this... bought another rx that despite being stood for 3 years in garage still started like a dream....rx '86 series 2 non turbo non PS just good basic fun, running fine but 3 tanks of fuel and 600 miles later has started to do this... runs really lumpy when started up. fine after 5-15 secs but then starts to judder/kangaroo when held steady speed, not too bad but noticeable and does similar when decelerating. car is completely standard but fun!!!!
don't be afraid of the car.

Did you drain the fuel tank? I would say its fuel related but can't be sure without more info. Try running some good fuel system cleaner and see if it helps any. You should have done a full tuneup especially since it sat so long(all filters, oil, spark plugs, wires, etc.).
