How did you adjust your valves?  If you adjusted them per the Bentley Manual
(2 turns) this could be your problem.  Check your manifold pressure (vacuum)
and if it is low (should be around 12-14 at idle) then you could try backing
off your valve adjustment to zero lash to see if this helps.

Subject: Problems after 1.9 head change

I'm having some problems with my '84 automatic 1.9 since changing heads.
Ran fine on old heads but leaking, so bought new heads from Ron.  Since,
have had low power, rough idle, bad fuel mileage.  Saturday another problem
started.  When stopped at a stoplight, then trying to move from stop, engine
will not accelerate for 1-2 seconds.  Have not yet installed digitool to
check, but looking for some direction.  Ideas, anybody?
Thanks in advance,
