[T3] Gutless / No torque / No power leaving a stop

[Elroyyy@aol.com]

Hello. After a THOROUGH search of the archives, I haven't found anyone else 
with my problem. So here goes:
1973 T3 FI MT with Air Conditioning (I don't run the A/C). Rebuilt engine 
(less than 5K miles), everything is as it should be -- almost.
>From a standing start (i.e., leaving a stop light), the RPM drop off 
considerably as if she wants to die. I can manage to raise RPM and keep her going by 
playing with the clutch and accelerator a bit. This happens in first gear only. 
Speed transition in higher gears is great.
Everyone I've spoken with feels that the Pressure sensor is suspect but the 
VOM and suction tests tell me that it's fine.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Or know what I should try next?

Regards,
Elroy
