power surging/poor idle sometimes

For some reason my 07 SS/SC has been acting goofy with only 10k miles on it. It will sometimes have a sputtering idle but no CEL?....also whenever i give it a decent amount of throttle, it feels like the power is surging (feels fast-then slow-fast-slow). Any idea what the hell it could be? I dont see any signs of clutch issues (although the clutch is either engaged or not...there is no real in between)..the RPMS dont go up or anthying out of the ordinary.

Clean you're throttle body. It is sticking. There was a thread on it so I tried it and it worked fine.

I had that problem except I got a CEL. My problem was my MAF, but since you have no CEL..............

Yeah it works for about a week, then it comes back. Mine does the same thing. Let us know what you find out.
