Bouncing RPM's and jerking throttle feathering
For the last week or so I've been noticing when I disengage the clutch my RPM's start bouncing up and down almost stalling. It actually has stalled around 3 times. All times I was driving around 40mph and clutch in to turn and rpms fall straight to zero.
Also when I am feathering the throttle to maintain speed the car will jerk. The RPM's drop just enough to see it on the tach. Only happens when throttle is around 5-10% depressed.
Other than that car is running fine. From the little I've read the only things I've come up with were vacuum leak or TPS. Any idea what this could be?
Thanks

...first.
If that doesn't fix it, replace the fuel filter as Ivanrad mentioned (they've been known to clog as early as 30k miles, depending on the crud in your local tanks).
If THAT doesn't fix it, THEN run 1 or 2 tanks of SeaFoam.
If THAT doesn't fix it, THEN return to stock to see if it's the tune (doubtful).

Alright, throttle body is cleaned out. I am doing plugs, fuel filter, and cleaning the maf this morning. I did a resistance test on the tps and the readings were pretty smooth throughout the butterfly motion. If none of that works out, I am going to try data logging with the SCT once I figure out how to do it and what I should be looking for.
