I doubt your timing is off. Clean the throttle body out and make sure that everything is sealing up properly and that the thorttle plate and close the whole way. Then make sure the throttle cable itself isn't sticking or too tight.
 
yes. make sure everything is opening and closing freely all the way. check for any buildup in the TB. clean it out real good. double check your hoses and check again. i had this problem as well once and it was my throttle sticking. so just make sure eveything is really squeeky clean.
 
yeah ill do that im putting my car on jack stands tommorow morning and changing oil, brakes and imma take the oil pan off cleaning it ... replacing the gasket ... theres a leak on the one side ... ill clen the trottle body out too while im at it LOL
