differnt starting patterns thinking throttle body?

There is not much to go on so don't keep putting on parts to trying and get lucky.
My 'guess' is you might find a fueling issue.
Look at the possibility of the fuel regulator diaphram leaking fuel into the intake manifold through the vacuum line, as a start.
A look with a good scanner at the short term fuel trim values may indicate a rich or lean condition that comes an goes.
On the other end of the spectrum, it could be an air leak form a rotted rubber fitting around the intake that changes with vibration and temperature.
Usually these kinds of issues, if present long enough, will set a code but you never know if it is marginal.
Find the issue first, then the repair. It will be a lot less expensive.
Good luck.

Taking a shot in the dark, but it could be the throttle position sensor. Commonly referred to as the TPS.
Some more info on whats going here would help. If its a problem related to the throttle body, or system/subsystem I probably have these parts leftover from my motor swap. would make you a killer deal on what you need.
And retarded as this might sound, Clean your MAF. or commonly known as the mass air flow sensor. It might be contaminated, causing your issues.

thanks everybody for the help im going to hang with my mechanic buddy tomorrow there is a rubber hose going from a black thing going into the throttle body and its rotted pretty bad maybe thats it what do you think?
Not saying you're having the same problems that I had but here's the thread I started and received advice from a few posters here, my problem ended up being a faulty PCM.

I wouldnt rule out fuel pump if you're looking over the fueling system as well
