Default Surge at off idle!

I have a surge problem with the car just off idle and it is not a miss just a surge.The car only has 9,000 miles and is a 2002 coupe.The only mod is the Vararam I put on about 3 month's ago.When I installed the Vararam I drove it about 10 miles then put it up for the winter.A week ago it was nice and I needed to make a short trip so took the vette.Put about 200 miles on it and noticed when we left that just off idle in town it has the surge or when the cruise was on and going down hill it would surge but not at any other speed.It act's like you are pumping the pedal.Could it be the switch on the pedal or the motor on the TB or the TPS?Help me out guys!Thanks

After reading and searching I will look for a air leak and pull fuses 16 & 23 and see if that helps.Thanks
