I have not gotten back to my car between frustration, schedule, and life. I moved my cars around and started working on it again yesterday. I want it running. At lunch I fired it up and got the right settings for my computer to talk to the ECU. It finally idled and did not shut down. After work I did much more testing. I did drive it around and got the hesitation twice. One of the theories put forward is the accelerator pedal. Here are some screen shots of the output values at idle and at 2500 RPM.

Tonight I plan to let it idle and burn off some of the gas in car that has been setting and check the warm up conditions. I wonder if I had a batch of bad gas or possible water.
You might want to add something like Iso Heet or Sea Foam to your gas on your next fill up.
Here's an article that compares some of the leading brands and has links to them: LINK to water removers for gas
