I have a chevy camaro with a 5.7 liter motor in it and when I first start it it runs fine. Once it warms up a little the engine will start to surge at idle and become hesitant upon acceleration. Sometimes it will even die at an idle. I have gone through and checked the tps sensor and checked the timing but still having the problem. Any advice?

Possibilities: Inspect and test all the following listed below:

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it.
