1992 Chevy Astro V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 1992 Chevy Asto that has a 350 TBI motor in it. When it idles it idles up and down (irrationally idles). Also when driving it wants to fall on its face. I have checked vacuum lines, fuel pump, and the timing. What else could be wrong?

Since the 350 isn't factory, it could be a thousand things. Was the computer replaced when the engine was? Have you checked things like the throttle position sensor? Has a check engine light come on?

The computer was changed when we put the motor in. The trottle position sensor is new. And my check engine light is not on. I checked the injectors, fuel regulator, and vaccuum lines. This is a new problem. It just started doing it. The motor has been in the van for a year now. We put it in the van in 2009.

The only things I can think of are the TPS, IAC, or even the EGR valve. If there are no vacuum leaks, it has to be one of the things I mentioned.
