Default weird thing 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

fixed it, first i reset the ecu, that did nothing, so then i changed the plug wires and re adjusted the throttle cable and now its fine, i just feel like an *** cause i thought the jerking was the clutch slipping and catching, oh well, got a new one on the way anyways

you might want to replace the distrubitor cap and rotor as well... mine did the same thing and the wires fixed it, but then it got bad again so i just replaced the whole thing basically
