Runability problems...

OKOKOK. I give up. You guys can come over to my house and fix my SPG...I'll buy the beer. :)
1985 SPG. Runs fine, until you shut it off. On restart (and it does this unless you leave it until it's stone cold), it has a rapid, hunting idle. Also, it develops a serious hesitation off idle, and has no power at all.
Things that have been replaced in the last year--for a variety of problems--include- Fuel pump and pre-pump. NTC. IAC. Plugs, wires, and rotor. AMM (x3!!!). Grounds (under the hood) cleaned (3 locations, I think).
Test results and observations:
First start: Nice fluctuating o2 sensor signal. Voltage measured at the test plug (per anders previous posts) fluctuates evenly between 2-10V. Car idles fine, and pulls well.
Second start: o2 signal at .2 volts and steady. Voltage measured at test plug, per anders, is 10 volts and steady. Car idle hunts rapidly (100-200 rpm range). Car stalls with any but the lightest gas pedal application. Car has no power at all. Pedal application in 2-3 gear will result in the boost guage hitting the red, with no increase RPMs or vehicle speed.
Any hints, clues, or thoughts would be appreciated...You know, I could get a nice used 9-3..... :)
