These pulses are the result of "acceleration enrichment".  Your ECM is
sensing the TPS opening, and/or the MAP pressure increasing, and/or it
is opening the IAC.  All three events will cause extra fuel to be
injected asyncronously of the normal injection.

The question here is - is the AE the cause of your unsteady idle, or is
the unsteady idle causing the AE?
