Wow! Thats a keeper, throw some plugs, wires, fuel filter and spray out that IAC motor with some carb cleaner and go from there. That is a nice clean bird.

Light throttle surge could be the TPS. I'd start there.

TPS was .86 to 4.88 and numbers moved up pretty smooth with throttle opening, timing is at 11, and it's not the IAC.

Trying to check codes but all auto parts stores will only test 96 and newer and I only have a digital volt meter.
