Default Surging at a cruise.

The car idles fine, roughly around 900 rpm. If you increase the throttle to 1500 rpms, it drops back to an idle, then slowly starts creeping it's way back up to 1500, then it repeats the pattern. It will not hold a steady rpm just over idle.

When normally accelerating, the car hitches at approx. 2800 rpm, like it's bogged down, then above 3000, it surges like like a bucking bull then runs correctly throughout the rest of the rpm range.

The really strange thing is that I can get the car to drive all the time in this "ill temper zone" by keeping the throttle at 5-10% and it will just drive around all day like it is being totally flooded. As soon as you move the throttle out of this 5-10% range, everything is dandy.

After weeks of reading posts on here about the IAC, FITV, Vacuum leaks, etc, I've tried it all and it still has not fixed this surging crapola. I cleaned the IAC with carb cleaner, tightened the white plastic washer in the FITV, and sprayed carb cleaner all around the vacuum hoses. I still turn nothing up as far as the problem maker of this issue.

Tonight, I am going to try to check more thouroghly for vacuum leaks with the propane method, and also remove my throttle body spacer, and swap my Hondata ecu out for my girlfriends stock unit. Other than this, I am out of ideas.

Is there anything I could be missing?
