Is there a ghost in my car???

Well, I'm going to soon come to that conclution if I cant figure this out. Heres the problem, when Im in any gear at cruzing throttle position(not accelerating or decel.) It feels like someone is tapping the throttle all the time. The car bucks around like Im riding a freakin bull!

I have no idea what this could be, Do YOU???

If this is happening at low speeds in like 1st through 3rd gear, get used to it, push in the clutch. its a rotary and every one iv driven has done that, its normal to a certain exctent. If this is happeneing in high gears at higher speeds than yeah.......a ghost would be your easiest answer. or maybe something with timing/ignition?

Mine did this:

The first time was due to someone using wrong resitance injectors. Fried the injectors. Car bucked like wild.

Second time was due to vacuum leaks.

I really dont think this is just the "smoothness" of a rotary....In all gears it can become very bad, so bad that I have to push in the clutch. I dont think its a vac. leak, what in the drive line could cause this?
