I can`t really tell much from the vid besides idle hunt. I dont think your gauges are going to be accurate because of the swap. I would assume the idle is hunting from 700 to 2000 RPM, Have you tried cleaning the IACV and the FITV?

Check for vacuum leaks between the Throttle body & Intake Manifold, FITV & IM, IACV & IM, IM & head. Also check that all the vacuum lines and ports are connected and not leaking. Once you have ruled out a vacuum leak try bleeding the coolant system. Make sure the coolant level is up to spec and there are no air bubbles. If there is an air bubble in one of the coolant lines it can cause this type of issue as well.

Does the condition exist if the egr control system is disconnected from the valve?
Did this condition show up long after the swap, or right away?

I used the bleeder when I was filling it, there still could be a air bobble or two in the system because I have been skared to run the car to get them all out. Do you thick if it is safe to try it?

The first thing I'd suspect is partial blockage of the EGR ports in the Intake manufold, combined with that is what sounds like the egr valve is being commanded open, even at idle.

With a health system, if vacuum were applied to the EGR at idle, the engine will stall. If it doesn't, then those cylinders which still remain running are NOT getting their allotment of exhaust gasses (due to the EGR ports not flowing.)

Under no circumstances should the egr valve be commanded open at idle. It normally starts opening around 1800rpm to 2100rpm on a closed loop system.

I would suggest reverifying your vacuum hose routings, and entertain the possibility of a wiring error... but leave that to page two (2)
