TPI Acceleration problem...please help

Hey guys. Heres the problem. My 1987 TA GTA, had a MAF crap out last summer. It was original. I changed it with the wells model which im sure most of you are familiar with. Anyway since the swap, my car has developed some sort of hic-up. I can't get the engine above 4000RPM when it's cold. (I mean engine cold not outside air temp). This happens in any gear and in Park or Neutral. It will not rev over 4000. If you put your foot to the floor it starts bacfireing and farting and popping, the car starts surging like someone driving a standard bad. Sometimes I can Smell raw fuel and see brown smoke billowing out the **** end. But....When the engine comes up to normal operating temp, the problem seems to go away. Please...someone have an answer for this problem. Thanx.
