It has new plugs (denso non-resistor), wires (NGK, seem to be better quality than Bosch), a good used distributor and rotor (seriously looked mint, Bosch & Beru), new injectors with deals and orings (Bosch), good used EHA, good used speedometer sensor, new oxygen sensor (Bosch). I also recently changed the entire fuel distributor/air plates assembly over because my air flow potentiometer was bad and I didn't want to mess with taking a known good one off and then having to get it adjusted correctly. This one was still at the factory set position. It also had the air plate adjustment at the factory position because the ball was still in the tower. Once I installed that, the engine ran better than ever before it started having the current issues.
Oh right - OK - a bit different than I thought.

(But) the new airflow plate assembly: Did you change the fuel distributor with it?

You see strange low idle speeds might be due to sticky fuel delivery components such as the plunger in the fuel distributor, the air flow plate and the EHA (in the wrong position)
