At times the engines will rev up and down (doesn't die) garage cleaned out throttle body and intake lines but the engine still serges, found a leak with detector but want to be sure before spending on wrong area, maybee fuel pump?

Get a can of spray Throttle body cleaner, start the car and spray around, pay attention to vacuum lines and manifold, if the idle changes, you found a leak. You want the engine running and spray on the outside but do direct the stream onto the hoses, if it is a vacuum leak, the engine idle will change speed, then you have detected a leak, repair the vacuum leak and see how it runs!

The other possibilty is the idle air control, it, s bolted to the side of the throttle body.
This is my leak detector!
