Jay,

It sounds like you are describing hesitation on throttle tip-in. That isn't uncommon on many engines. What year/engine/fuel system do you have?

Jay,

Make sure the throttle body is clean.

Check the TPS voltage. Voltage at the low end of the scale will tend to create a lean throttle tip-in condition.

Reset the minimum air position to the high end of the tolerance so that the IAC counts are lower and more of the idle air is passing the throttle platers than the IAC. The cleaning of the TB alone may help this problem, especially if there is a lot of varnish accumulation around the throttle plates.
