It was 1988-1993 that the wire harness was good, you missed it by one year.

I have heard that rebuilt AMM's can still go bad. Not to say you made a bad choice by buying a rebuilt one, but the chance is there.

Have you replaced your air filter? I had a clogged fuel filter cause low accel and crappy starts once. air filter is not much different if clogged. I know it sounds simple, but since you indicated pulling away from a stop, it stumbles...if the ICV cannot pull enough air into the intake until the car gets going fast enough, then you will get crappy accel and low power....*** air has to pass through the filter.....

I am leaning towards that.
