car sputteres at 5,000 and has no throttle response

i finally got my hatch legal, but the throttle response is very shitty and at every stoplight i feel like it is going to die. also it starts sputtering at 5 grand and bogs way down going up the slightest of hills any help would be great.

how long has it been doing this? how many times have you driven it like that?

well.... what did you do to get it to idle. I mean everything, not just the last thing you tried that worked.

the idle screw on da tb and turned the dizzy and maybe tightened the throttle cable

where is the dizzy now? sounds like the timing might be pretty far out.... as a general 'guess' at timing, the dizzy bolt should be in the middle of the top ear, if its all the way to one end, I would fix that.
