car revs up real slow...y?

I drive a 90gxl. The car revs up slow though. i did the auto to manual swap over winter only to realize this. The compressions good, idles good, starts good. What could cause this?

you should use Starter fluid ( the spray can starter stuff) it will evaporate much quicker off the parts that you sprayed with over spray
