HELP! Lopey idle AND acceleration
I just started experiencing issues with lopey idle and acceleration. The car is almost putt-putting and it feels way done on power.
Last year I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and the car has been running like a champ until last week. I was inspecting hoses for possible vacuum leaks and found the clamp loose on both ends of this tube. I also found that it was cracked. I tightened the clamps and wrapped some duct tape around the rubber part, but that has not helped. The car starts just fine and the idle holds at 900rpm, but through the pants feel is like model-T instead of 911.

Doublecheck those new ignition wires for good connectivity (first)...(what kind did you install?)
As well, check coil primary/secondaries...(only) 2 cents worth.....go from there to next steps... Your tiewrap approach (in the pic) looks very much like mine!!!! Works like a charm, eh? Best,

Wires are http://kingsborne.com/wire.htm
Yeah after I saw the replacement part is $100+, I didn't mind the ugliness of the tie wraps at all.

There are several places that can cause a vacuum leak. Check all hoses carefully. The duck tape will not properly seal a vacuum leak. Fix all the obvious correctly first, than continue to diagnose.
