what kinda car and what engine are you using?

If you just did the swap and you messed with your TPS sensor, then check tht first, you may need to adjust.

Are you having high idle and your idle goes up and down slowly. Not really like a vac leak but it just occasionally moves?

Does it kind of surge before hand like its bogging? If all those symtoms are tru, first check your TPS and make sure its adjusted correctly. Then if not that, check your map sensor vac source. Make sure you seeing 20' vac....

Hope that helps.

Also check this out, I had this issue with an engine a while ago. It turned out to be that the cat was clogged and one of the O2 sensors was cracked, check those out.
