I have a chevy camaro with a 5.7 liter motor in it and when I first start it it runs fine. Once it warms up a little the engine will start to surge at idle and become hesitant upon acceleration. Sometimes it will even die at an idle. I have gone through and checked the tps sensor and checked the timing but still having the problem. Any advice?

Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
