I need your help...I've got my transplanted djet 2ltr (76 de-smogged motor) in and running...and driving. I'm trying to get the motor running good but I'm having a problem with low rpms.

If I try to slowly accelerate the motor seems to "buck," hestitate until the motor reaches about 3,000 rpm then it's smooth sailing. However, if I put my foot into the pedal harder and run through the gears it pulls hard and strong like a mule....awesome.
Below are some things I've done:
  • valves adjusted while engine was cold .006 and .008(exhaust)
  • Installed new petronix ignition
  • Set timing at 27 degrees at 3500 rpm
  • Completly removed and cleaned throttle body and blew out all the ports with carb cleaner
  • Cleaned throttle position contacts (excellent condition) and adjusted idle and full throttle contacts using an ohm meter
  • all injectors were serviced
  • fuel pressure set and steady via gauge at 28lbs
  • New plugs, rotor, cap...wires appear to be in good condition
  • installed a rebuilt 043 MPS (Bleyseng)
  • Checked for vaccum leaks
  • Engine runs at 325-350 on CHT gauge
  • New cylinder head temperature sensor
  • New air cleaner
Things I haven't done
  • adjusted the ECU....as I understand it...this is only an idle adjustment mixture....although the motor smells maybe a tad rich at idle
  • Have not played with the trigger points (stock bosch dizzy)
At this point I don't want to just start throwing money at parts. From what I've read, the trigger points can cause bucking and too rich running. When I saw Pelican wanted $175 for them...I didn't want to roll the dice????

The only other symptom worth mentioning, is when I first start the motor when it is cold, the idle hunts quite a bit....like 1000 rpm...not to sure what that is all about. I did install a oem thermostat and the air flaps are working correctly. After it warms up the idle is fairly steady but a bit rough.

Sorry for the long story....I need some ideas
