95 DX hesitating and surging in 1st and 2nd gear
95 DX D15B7 Engine, just got the HG, timing belt, water pump, changed. Valves set and spacing set. It idles a little low, stumbles, but doesn't die (even with A/C on), but when I try to take off in 1st gear it hesitates a lot, I have to really give it gas to get it to go, and in second gear it accelerates, then between 23-28 mph (don't know RPM, no tach) I have to REALLY give it gas to get through this dead spot and then above 28 mph it surges and takes off. Once I hit 3rd gears and up it's just fine. Oh yeah, it didn't do this before the recent maintenance.
I was thinking about cleaning the IACV for the idle issue, but I didn't think that it would help with the accelerating issue. Ideas?

I wish I had any ideas for you. But honestly, my car is having a very similar issue with intermittent lacking/surging power. Sometimes, especially after long highway trips, I have to give my car quite a bit of gas to take off in 1st gear.
Give your IACV a try, see if it helps at all, and then let me know.
