Default High Idle and a hesitation

I have a 2000 ss with longtubes cam and a stall.

I just recently started having a problem where once i reach about 50 mph the car seems to hesitate or "stutter" like the car starts bucking until i give it a little more gas.

Also once i come to a stop and put the car in park, the the idle jumps to about 1800 rpms until i turn the car off.

Any ideas on what could be going on? No codes are being thrown

It should throw a code... at least a "high idle" or something...
I'm thinking vacuum leak right now, but without a code it's hard to tell.

make sure you go with the cheap tps not the spring loaded one.. I have had some issues with the spring loaded one made by bwd i believe it is! consistent high output tps codes i tried 2 of them so im gonna say stay away from that style.. just the normal cheap tps works the best for me!

try cleaning the maf too!!

sometimes a high idle can be a vacuum leak!! spray a little carb cleaner around the engine intake and tb ares and see if the idle changes ..easy way to find a vacuum leak

lots too look at ! good luck to yah!

Bought an iac and iat sensor. Going to replace those and do an oil change because it needs it. If those do not fix it then im doing the o2 sensors. Just sucks that im going to spend over $400 in non returnable parts and might still not fix the car.

But a new peice to the puzzle, when the car is doing about 55 now it starts bucking really bad and i lose all gas, i can push the pedal to the floor and get nothing, BUT if i put it in neutral it revs just fine. Any ideas?

Save the money you are wasting on parts and check the data streams on a scanner. Have the O2's checked first.
