That nervous "tic" in your throttle foot maybe...   :)

I have had that exact same symptom due to the EGR system in a couple cars I 
have owned (I'm talking carb'ed, not fuel injected).  On one car I replaced 
the EGR and it went away, on another I just "disabled" the EGR valve by 
plugging the vacuum line.

Yeah, what engine/year/carb/induction setups were you running on your 
problem cars? Do they even have EGR systems?

Good Luck,
