My 75 2.0 is doing exactly what is desribed above, except for the high idle speed. Mine pretty much statys at 1000, except just recently is dips down to 800 and then back up to a 1000 over and over again while stopped. The sputtering and low power below 3200 rpm is getting really annoying. I'm going to re-read the above postings a few more times, dive into the Hanes manual and see if I can figure out exactly how to check the TPS, along with the hoses and electrical contacts.
Not having done any real work on a car before, I was pretty psyched to have made it through installing an injector, a fuel filter, and all fuel lines (except for the long runners that go from the tank to the engine compartment) without incident.

My fuel pump seems a bid loud, and is sounding like it's pulsing instead of running at a nice steady constant pitch, may account for something? then again maybe not. hmmm I'll start with checking to make sure there's enough air in the tires.....
