i dont really know too much about turbo rx's, but my guess would be either: TPS, VAC leak, something to do with the timing, or the leading or trailing ignightors are messing up.
other than that i dont know
sorry i cant be that much help

I was gonna say vaccum leak when I first read the thread... but... now that its working..... TPS can be erratic like that....

Did you try kicking it? Sometimes that works for me.

if your intercooler hoses are leaking than that would be your problem.

Yeah, a busted intercooler hose would definately cause a vac leak.
