....after a few months of messing with the problem when I had spare time I finally resolved the issue(for those who are interested or the resolution may help.)

It turns out the intake manifold was leaking around the #1 and #8 ports. Whoever installed gaskets on the engine before I got the car put a wrong sized gasket between the valley pan and head. The gasket had dried and broken causing the gaps allowing the air to get in. They had the correct size gasket between the intake and pan. So..... I'm not really sure why that happened.... maybe a non Mopar experienced person was the installer.

I removed the intake/valley pan, re installed and sealed it on both sides of the valley pan.... now it has clean acceleration and idles as it should so I can FINALLY drive and enjoy it now !!!
