I had a VERY similar problem with my 92 GT and like mike5p01, mine was a vacuum leak as well. I like to start off with easy stuff first, then move to all the sensors and module crap. CHeck the hoses (the rubber hose that had rotted on mine was the one coming from the intake and going to the emissions box). It started off like what you are talking about but then just got worse and worse where my car at a stoplight would surge and idle high then low then high. By that time, though it was obvious that it was a vacuum leak. IF you haven't already, check your rubber vacuum hoses first.
