Default need some ignition guys

So i dont know what it is but i hope its not my opti! At idle the car surges between 500-1500 rpms. Then if im cruising in 2 gear and keepin it at about 2500 you can feel it miss. Its not a miss where it stubles, the idle will just fall a few hundred rpms then catch its self. So its not a miss like i have a cam, more of a surging i guess you can say. And also when im cruising and let off the gas and break, the idle will drop real low to where it almost wants to die but then catch itsself again. What you guys think? My ignition system consists of:

-msa blaster coil
-taylor wires
-tr6 plugs
-6al
-dig. window switch
-adjustible timing comtrol unit
-all stock opti

Sounds like the opti, make sure also that your plugs aren't arching. Good Luck
