Car seems like it is misfiring Need Help!

So every once in awhile the car will run very choppy and if i give it to much gas it will want to stall, it happened to me this morning on my way to work for about ten min then stopped and drove fine for 15 min then it started doing again. This happened to me last week also then it was fine for a week, It doesn't throw a cel so i am kinda baffled, anyone have any ideas what i should check? Also i get pulsing idle every once in while which i am sure is my iacv but would one have to do with the other? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like a fuel issue if it's once in a while.
Anything from a clogged pump sock to a weak pump to a corroded pump wire.I would rule out the regulator because it would not be a once in a while issue if the regulator was having a issue.
The Iacv could be a idle issue but the car would not stall out when you push the gas pedal.
I remember a car that had alot of rust and junk in the gas tank and the car would start and run fine. when the tank was low it would collect all the crap off the bottom on the pumps sock and stall the car. you could shut the car off and the stuff would fall back down in the tank then the car would start again till the crap collected and blocked the the pump from getting fuel again.
Had to clean out the whole tank and repace the pumps filter kit and never had the issue again.
Not sure if it's your issue but,It sounds like a fuel problem

i had some wonky shit happen to my car.. no cell... rpms doing weir shit.

I unplugged all the connectors by the throttle body and iac...etc and it was all back to normal... don't overlook the simple stuff first... sometimes the hardest things to solve are actually the easiest.
