What is seafoam?

It is a fuel system and combustion chamber cleaner. You can get it at any auto parts store.

I had the same problem a few months back, I removed the throttle body which was dirty ahel and cleaned and haven't had the problem since.

Give it a try , its fairly simple to do and might solve your problem.

Default Still have the issue after doing some replacements

So I replaced the throttle body, plugs and wires. The issue is actually worse now. The 4x4 place that is local mentioned getting my computer reflashed...but I have a feeling its going to get expensive to do that. Any other things i can do to avoid that? After dropping 200$ on the throttle, I am pretty upset it didn't solve the issue.
