Check to make sure that the butterfly valve in the intake rear is opening?

in the throttle body?

Booked 2 O2 sensors to NAPA with wiring included, pre-cats, on the recommendation from my neighborhood Audi/Porsche mechanic. I'm going to replace those tomorrow and see if I can't get 'er running respectably..

The rear cross-over pipe on the plenum has a butterfly valve that opens / closes with RPM, and I have heard that if that is not operating, as around 3K it really loses power.

That and fuel pressure would be easy things to check.
