Default car stumbling at cruising speeds?

Ive noticed over the past couple weeks my 98 c70 HPT coupe accellarates fine and idles fine. BUT every 10 min or so ill feel a little stumble from either the engine or trans when im doing about 60 mph. i havent really torn into it yet and investigated, i figured id ask around online before i took it to a mech.

Could be a clogged Vent system,Mass Flow sensor going bad, It could be many things. Sad to say but you will have to try to wait till a check engine light comes on to know where to look.
