4l60e surging question on two sperate occasions now my car has been at a standstill in traffic and when i give it gas the cars idle becomes irregular for an instant. After a split second of irregular idle the tranny feels as if it is slipping into gear. after i drive and let off the gas the idle becomes irregular and continues to feel as if it is slipping into gear from a standstill. On each occasion i have put the car in neutral and turned the car off, and restarted it while moving. What gets me is that after i restart it, the problem goes away completley and does not reappear until a month or so down the road, approx 1k or more miles.
To me this seems like an electrical problem, does anyone have any idea whats going on here?

k thanks guys and sorry for being a little to brief.
My tranny is stock, all i have on the car is a cleared air lid, cutout, and suspension mods, all of which i know wouldn't cause this problem
by irregular throttle i mean that it will drop and spike below and above the 1k rpm range but does not surpass 1.5k or .5 k rpm's.
i will be more cautious and check out the oil pressure next time, i in fact should have thought of that when it occured but it failed to cross my mind
again, thank you for the responses please help me out if u can...
