idle issue (vid enclosed)

Ok forever now I have been trying to eliminate and idle issue. Ive done everything (except fix whatever is wrong) to figure it out. Ive done vaccum lines, new plugs, ect. Any ideas what the cause could be. Here is a vid of the idle. sometimes its worse that others. let me know if you cant hear it in the vid and ill get another. Thanks as always

Could be a vacuum leak, TPS out of spec/faulty, timing off, BAC being set poorly or faulty, some combination thereof or something else entirely. Check TPS, timing, and for vac leaks first though.

I did the tps about 1000 times. I did vaccum leaks but did not help, The only think i havnt done is timing. The Timing has never been messed with. Will the timing ever mess up on its own? Do i need a timing light to adjust? thanks
