Default Low speed hesitation/surge

So I hop in the car this morning, fire it up, and as usual scare everyone with my cat back straight pipe Car starts kinda rough, but I attested it to not holding the key at start long enough. However, after that things start to get weird.

Instead of it holding about 1200rpm like it usually does on a cold start, it misses a bit and hunts between a grand and 1200. Brush it off and start going up the street slowly like normal. However the car decides it doesnt want to play nice today, and starts hesitating/bogging, then would surge a bit. It repeats this as I go along (about 10mph) and once I get into the gas a bit more for a hill, it clears right up and haven't had an issue since. No codes, no lights

I know it has to do with fuel too lean but where do you start

i did not do anything i replaced purge valve because the code came up.that is fine i was driving it last night and when i was shifting into 3rd gear it lost power and the light came on. It must be some air problem.
