Default I need some help

I have an '03 QC Hemi

Every once in a while the truck seems to have a hard time finding normal idle it'll bounce b/w 4-700rpm. If its not doing that, it'll hesitate when i first push the throttle from a stop. I can't tell from a roll if it hesitating or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mine's done the bounce since day one, and it settles after 2 or 3 attempts. Although right now it's not idling at all.

Clean the throttle body and the sensor, fixes this issue about half the time, but even if it's being caused by something else, you really need to clean it about once a year anyway, so it will only help...

Ditto that.
