Need help, cant find whats causing bogging.

ok so i have about had it trying to find this problem. my car seems to accelerate fine, but when i hold it at a steady rpm while driving, it seems to drop in rpms and then pick back up to where it was. i removed my cats and cleaned some crap out of there, i checked my plugs and wires, and my maf seems to be working ok. if anyone has any ideas please help asap or im gonna part this thing out. thanks, wes

ys, check the TPS. i am about 90% sure that is your cause right there. it can be adjusted easialy. the tps's do however wear out and go bad so you may just need a new one.
