What is the idle doing? Could be the IAC, or the passage in the intake behind the IAC.

Fuel pumps usually showup at higher RPM's as a cutout. Same with clogged filters etc.

Reset the computer (disconnect the batt for 30 min) then go for a good drive. The computer will relearn all the maps and such and reset for all the new parts. Sounds wierd, but sometimes they get used to the old parts and new parts just confuse it. Also it may stall or have other issues during the first couple miles.

Make sure the EGR Valve isn't staying partially open at idle.
