Not running right at 1100-1400 Rpm - idle looping, lack of power

My 94 SVX LS is running rough under a certain idle range. When I initially take off, it sputters and kind of jerks the whole car. This seems to begin at roughly 1000 or 1100 rpm's (so basically right away when you start to take off) and goes away just a few hundred rpm's later at ~1300-1400. This problem seems to be worse with the a/c on. It also tends to stall sometimes when I stop a a stoplight. For testing I tried putting it in Park and then revving the RPM's to around 1100 or so and I noticed the idle begins to loop, or fluctuate up and down. In my experience this typically would point to a timing problem or perhaps a cam sensor or idle controller. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there a timing adjustment on the SVX? How do I read for codes? (no check engine light has illuminated to my knowledge). Any help is appreciated.
