The screw on the throttle body is just the idle speed.

Timing is a good move

personally i would check the limiter,,as safechav said,or believe it or not,mine was doing similar things,till i re-wired my pump with clean fresh conections,full power and no dry joints in the lead-to-post connections, and alls well, until my limiter pops a biggun,to tell me off.
