Default 92 VX not running right need input

Ok I still dont have this thing running right. I have had it 2 months now and can not figure this thing out. Since I got it I have replaced: belts, dizzy cap, plugs and wires, air filter, fuel filter, o2 sensor, oil and filter. I also seafoamed it.

It still has a major hesitation when I hit the gas. Some times it actually bogs down so bad it slows down. It only does this sometimes. I am not throwing any codes (I had a o2 sensor code but swapped that but didnt help much. It also has a bounce in the idle 1000 to 1500 and back over and over but not everytime.

Anyone have any ideas because this thing is pissin me off. Thanks in advance, Jack

take off the air intake at the throttle body (car must be warmed up) start the car look in the t body there should be 2 holes on the left side. stick you finger over the bottom hole if you feel a air sucking there then your fitv is leaking. If the fitv is leaking it will cause a bouncing idle like you have

edit: check here this is the first one I came across but there was a better one on repairing the fitv. Use the search under fitv in the archives. Oh yeah you might want to test the fitv when the car is acting up.
