Most likely a vacuum leak. Spray carburetor cleaner on vacuum lines and fittings, and where the intake manifold meets the head to locate the leak so it can be fixed.

When you hit the leak it will react and smooths out, if your hearing is no good-use a vacuum gauge

Well I guesss at some point in its life it could have been overheated to cause something like that, I thought it surely was some kind of sencor like a TPS or something

The IACV and TPS do weird things too, to include fuel pressure problem
