You probably have a vacuum leak. If the intake manifold has never been off, it's gasket is likely due. If that is not it, you will likely find the vacuum leak while pulling all the hoses off to get to the intake manifold. The probable reason that it smooths out when you unplug the temperature switch is that the computer goes open loop (rich mixture ) when the you pull that plug.
