you may need to clean out your injectors there could be a slight clog so that pressure will build up in your gas line then release all at once. Try just cleaning out your whole header

check the filter if it's good try some cleaner or pull it off and use an air tool to blast it clean but don't use water leaving any in there wouldn't be good

It's not a fuel problem. Injectors don't go bad.

Your lack of tuning is one of your problems and the other is prbably the IAC.
