I wouldn't totally discount the possibility that the 'loose timing' has led to carbon buildup and maybe even some PCV system grunge - so, it may be worth trying some seafoam treatments in the tank and the SF Spray into th e throttlebody, and at least inspect/clean the PCV valve.
triple-check that a hose isn't loose or misrouted, or some other issue from the disassembly/reassembly needed to get the tensioner replaced.
also, pull the crank position sensor and clean the face of it. There are occasional reports of metallic particles building up on it, causing misfires.
but the hesitation and revving, seems like it could be TPS or IACV or something unrelated to the tensioner issue.
