idle serge from about 1100 rpm to 1500 rpm back and forth ; also slight hesitation when you press the gas what happens is there is about a half second to a full second hesitation?
?
i cleaned the throttle body with carb cleaner and it did nothing

i got rid of the idle surge ( set the timing ) but there is still hesitation when i initially hit the gas but after that it runs like a rape date
