Lots of miles? Have you thought about routine stuff? Fuel filter, tune-up. There's good info in the FAQ section about eratic idles.

you state that the timing is off 10 degrees.

Have you checked to see if the timing belt was installed one tooth off from proper timing?

checked timing belt marks all line up. hooked scanner up and the ELD says 99% map reading even when unhooked. throttle at 81% and goes down when you push down. I replace throtle body already and no change stumped any ideas
