You are definitely messing up the fuel/air mixture by swapping
those mixture control/fuel distributors units around.  This
affects both ignition timing and idle.  You never mentioned
adjusting either one.  Mixture, timing and idle all dance
together in a twisted harmony.  Changing one usually affects
the other two.  Are all the fuel injectors working to spec?
Check that along with setting the timing and idle air bypass
screw on the throttlebody.  Could also be a malfunctioning coil...
Lots of stuff to play around with before swapping around
fuel distributors; like making sure everything set with the
timing belt is lined up at TDC.
