My C180 loses its revs when I press the accelerator. When I start the engine it starts first turn, but after a few moments the revs die down and the engine appears to be firing on 2 or 3 cylinders. When I press the accelerator very little happens, the revs die down, when I release the accelerator they pick up briefly. What can I do?

It is 1998 it just doesnt seem to warm up, sometimes if you switch off the engine and turn it back on it runs ok for a few moments!

I unplugged the only thing I could see plugged into the filter assembly. It was located on top of the casing that goes to the carb. When I started the car with it unplugged it started but stalled after a few seconds.
