Default please help!! zc swapped del sol.

hey guys i just bought a honda del sol with a zc swap already done. the car sat for 2 months before i bought it. i did i full tunup on the car and it started but idle up and down between 1k and 2k rpms. i replaced the tps sensor and now idles smooth. i also replaced the fuel filter at this time. i drove 120 miles to work and back this morning. and the car seems to kinda choke while accelerating. it still picks up but it kinda bogs its way up. i let off the gas and its okay. but when it does everytime i step on the gas and sommetimes at a steady speed. im all kinds of stumped on this the timing is dead on. i read a couple other threads on here but they all say the car bogs down my doesn not. it just kinda bogs but it keeps goin up. the video is on youtube search (zc swapped del sol trouble) its not letting me post the video here.

any and all help will be very appreciated. thanks guys and girls.

if it was the iacv wouldnt it be choking from the moment i started the car? or would it do it only once in a while? and also should i pull it and clean it with some brake cleaner?

alright this is kinda wierd i went to work and back 100 miles and the car drove like it was bogging the whole time i parked the car for about 10 minutes. i got on the car drove about 1 mile and came to a stop, the CEL light came on and the car now drives fine!!! i bought some brake cleaner some fuel cleaner, and some plugs and wires. but the car now runs perfectly fine even though the CEL is on.

Pull the CEL. You're probably in limp mode now.
