I was driving today and when I first accelerated (not fast), my car seemed to kind of lose and gain power in a pulsating pattern. Instead of a smooth, uniform acceleration, I got sort of a go/stall/go stall thing every second or so. It seemed like nothing serious, because it stopped after the car had been on a while. What could it be?

It could be impurities in your cylinders. Check the spark plugs for carbon deposits, which can stop it firing sometimes.

Just replaced the plugs last week. Maybe the wires need replacing?

Could be your fuel filter... sometimes deposits can block it for a short time which causes less fuel to the engine.
