I had some hesitation and stubleming problems with my car. I figured out it was that my spark plugs where covered with oil leaking out of the valve cover. I recomend checking your spark plugs.

Thats usually a sign of a bad TPS or IAC. Try cleaning the IAC first and see what happens.

The TPS or IAC may be a problem, if the idle is "jumping" then get a screw driver and just tune it so that it will idle at a higher RPM and it should stop the problem. hope that helps
