74 1.8L problems (numerous)

#1 cuts out, like you turn of the key on the highway and then turn the ignition back on. This leads to a hefty jerk in the entire car

#2 NO idle, if you take your foot of the gas, it kind slows down slower and slower.

#3 Poor reving between 1k and 2k. if the engine falls under 2k I usually have to stomp the accelerator down and up VERY quickly to get it to spool up, otherwise it just dies. almost like it has no hp at all

#4 when trying to get it out of the low rpms, the valve inside of the air flow sensor snaps closed, I can hear it from the cockpit.

5# Backfires, I have stock ignition and a bursch muffler. It is not too bad, only with the foot off the gas.

Well,m what do you think, am I screwed, a sucked valve or something like that or what? Oh yeah it goes swell on the highway. Although it does not have as much power to accelerate as it once did (Rebuilt about 5k miles ago) with new heads
