You're exactly right! (Well, it gets better some of the time, but if I put 
my foot in it, it bogs down again.)

Today, I changed the fuel filter, and took off the mass flow sensor, 
cleaned it up a bit, sprayed some electrical cleaner all over every ground 
that I could see, on the knock sensor, on the battery terminals, and on the 
alternator.

So far, so good, but that's exactly what I thought after I changed the 
plugs/rotor/cap...

Hi,
THIS sounds awfully familiar! What happens when you floor it and then let
it back a bit? Gets better? No?

But I'll have to be honest - I don't know what trouble you are having since
I don't know what da .... is da digifunk. What I do know - I had the same
symptoms on my 86 8v and what solved it was disconnecting the control
pressure regulator wires. I know - it makes no sence, since they should
only have effect while the engine is cold.

Another but - my car has the weirdest setup of fuel distributer and cont.
pressure reg. being from a 5 cyl Audi. So this posting most probably won't
help you.
