lil' hesitation

Ok, don't know if this was directly related to the tach issues or not, but today i went out and started my car. I was going ot make the 3 mile drive ot the airport to pick up a notebook from my work and then head back here to teh dorms to relax for a while. Anywhoos, as i pull out the car from the lot, it seems to have some hesitation. As the car would accelerate there would also be brief periods of time where there was no power, then it would pull again, kind of a chug chug chug type thing. I had this problem once before, it was when the Distributor was having some trouble along with the MAF sensor. I'm not pulling up any codes right now, or SES lights, i know the problem is most likely electrical. Also, after driving the car for a few minutes through town, and it warmed past the "ice cold" area, the car ran fine and accelerated fine, along with getting on and off the highway. So, i don't know what to make of it, any ideas? thanks in advaance.

Similar problem

My Camaro does the same thing but is doesn't stop after it warms up... I am clueless the what it may be... I am thinking maybe the TB, TPS, IAC??? I have no Idea.. I had a local garage hook up a computer to the car and drove it around with the mechanic that was helping me.. No codes showed up. But my air intake temp sensor kept going from like 325 deg to 109 deg. Back and forth... Theres something wrong with that...
