Another Djet problem, and I know you know the answer Options

Ok, so my '76 2.0 that I've been working on forever is now once again calling my attention, now that I'm back from college for the summer.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Last summer, we painted it and made it all pretty, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) but that's not too important when it wont go anywhere to begin with.

So when I took it out to try and figure out my phantom 4th gear problem (another thread i'll start when this one is resolved (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ) I noticed it had no (and I mean none at all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) ) power when I was mashing the gas in 2nd and 3rd gears. And going up hill was barely possible, I kept it floored and it 'surged' on and off (several seconds on then several off) up the hill at an average speed of about 5mph. But I had to leave for school and then it started when I came back.

I took the car out a week ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) , it seemed to pull really well (though maybe not as warm as before) and only stuttered a little at like 4500 rpm. The idle is still a bit wacky (sometimes at 2000, other times at 1000-1100). And I noticed that if I blip the trottle, it will jump up to 3000 or so real quick, then slowly ( 2+ seconds) return to idle. I checked for vacuum leaks and everything "looks" alright. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I noticed if I disconnected the vacuum hose from the base of the throttle body 'platform' that leads over to the... well I dont know what it is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) (silver, about the size of a peanut butter jar with vacuum, fuel?, and computer hookup) that when it was plugged at the throttle body, the engine revved up and down at regular speed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Ok, enough writing. I'm no where near a 914 expert, but I am an engineering student and I'll be damned if I cant fix this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I went around today and drove the car around town a little (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) and got it really warm, and it seems its still having problems when I open up the throttle, it just bogs down (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) . The same deal around 3000 rpm when it just goes nowhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . So maybe I'm back to square one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
