Hey I've got the same thing happening.Runs like there's a potato in the exhaust pipe. I've just rebuilt this 1.9.
I've checked timing, replaced all vacum hoses,replaced distributor, cap, rotor, plugs. I am changing the fuel pressure regulator today. I hope that is it, if not ?? 
maybe air flow meter (potentiometer).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Mike
