JDM F22B into 95 Accord having problems

I swapped a JDM F22B DOHC (JDM Prelude 92-96) into my 95 Accord LX not too long ago. It runs but is having some issues. It's having a tough time starting without a little starter fluid, but that's not the main issue. When it's running in a low rpm range (just above idle speeds), the rpms bounce making the car buck & shake. It's throwing two CELs - one for the o2 sensor, and one for the ECT valve. It's at a local garage right now & the mechanic says he's tested the o2 & even swapped it for a different one & it had no problems. He doesn't think the problem is the ECT sensor either. I'm running the correct ECU for the JDM motor, the P39. I had him swap that out & try running my old motor's ecu, but that did nothing. It used to be throwing a code for the IACV/FITV, so I replaced the FITV & the cel went away, but the problem persists. The mechanic has double checked all the vacuum lines. I'd really appreciate any insight anybody might have into this problem. I'll have the car back soon because the guy says he's running into a dead end. Please help me out here...
