Driving the car spurts several times seems to go away when off the gas then on again seems to do it under acceleration. Seems to me the ignition flickers on and off which causes the engine to buck.

Check all connections at the battery first.

There is no problem with the battery terminals all tight that would cause a flicker in the light etc I believe. They are tight ans clean and secure.

Bad power source connections could cause this.

Are there any lights on the dash?
