First, let me tell you what the meaning of life is. When you're driving your Bird through a corner at approximately x2 the speed limit, and the tail starts to drift out just a hair, that thrill that runs up your spine and then comes back down to carefully squeeze the throttle a little bit more .. you're getting close.
As for your problem, these motors are a bit finicky so make sure the little things are all good, TPS, VAM, PCV, plugs, wires and the rest of the electrical. Run codes, and make sure the fuel system is in good shape. There's more, but I'm in the middle of working on mine, so maybe others will step in with more info.
BTW, You definitely don't want to keep it. You definitely want to give it to me.
