My first ride had a crappy Anza exhaust.....it was WAY too restrictive and was clogged with rust and other crud. I replaced it with a Bursch....worked a lot better. It was still a slow as molassess 1.7 but it revved to 6K....

Check your EFI trigger points. My 2.0L had the same symptoms and the trigger points took care of it.
