Default C6 surging

My 2006 C6 Corvette (LS2, base model) has an idle surge. It doesn’t happen all the time. I’ve already replaced the spark plugs and installed a new MAF sensor, but the issue is still present. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on what I should check next?

I'm sure there have been a hundred members on here that have had the same thing...what fixed theirs may not fix yours !!...do you have a scan tool ??...are you sure your new MAF sensor is good ??...because it's new doesn't mean it's good...you test the MAF wiring ??...if there is a wiring issue 100 new MAF sensors won't fix it...if you just want to "check" or in other words replace some parts you can replace the MAP sensor...you may have a vacuum leak or incorrect fuel pressure...instead of guessing and replacing parts find an auto diagnostician in your area.

Did you remove and clean your throttle body?

The TB does not have to be removed to clean it...see more issues if it's removed for cleaning.
