Default weird stuff happening at idle

I just noticed a little while ago that my idle is acting funny, it stays at around 750 rpms and then it will dip down real quick to around 400 rpms and it happens every few seconds, its almost like its misfiring but i would figure it would be happening on regular intervals, I have also felt my car surging alot when trying to increase acceleration, but i have been assuming its a slipping clutch, could these 2 things be linked and if so what could it be, nothing has changed to make something like this happen

Dont ever assume nothing has changed, because most likely something did. But i know what you mean. Most likely your having a distributor problem or more likely a malfunctioning tps. Do you have a power tester to test the tps? It should be at .5v at closed throttle and 4.5 at WOT, sticker the power wire from the multimeter in the middle wire of the tps.
