YANMAR 4jh5e low idle problem

I am having a problem with low idle on my 4jh5e YANMAR. The engine starts up fine and runs fine. I keep it at 800rpm for idle. Again it runs fine When it gets up to proper temp and I run normally between 1800 and 2000 rpm but when I bring it back down to a low idle it cuts off. It will level off at about 800rpm and then just dies. It will start right back up again and then do the same when I bring it back down to low idle. I have tried everything I can think of cleaned injectors, new racor filters, new fuel lines, new water separator filter, new electric fuel pump, I replaced the entire fuel injection unit new which was very expensive on advise of a mechanic, checked for blockages, cleaned the mixing elbow thinking maybe a back pressure problem. All have not corrected the problem. I have 1500 hrs on the engine. Would appreciate any insight or has anyone else had this problem. Thanks

Have you verified that the engine is actually idling at the indicated RPM?

I have not verified the rpm I will do that. I have adjusted my idle from 700rpm to 800rpm and once at 900rpm Thinking it was too low, with no difference it will still cut out once I come down to my low idle.
