Default Problems running right..

I have a 95 ford explorer v6...check engine light goes on and off here and there...when you drive, the car pulses forward and then slower....it's like you are hitting the gas a little bit and letting off...also when idling the rpms fluctuate from time to time...i'm trying to figure out what is wrong...i tried scanning the car but the scanner didn't work...do you think it would be the 02's...car just recently had a new fuel pump installed...so that is not the problem...i need help asap guys...thanks

I am willing to bet it is the IAC Valve.
