I Figured Out The Problem And Thought I Just Post It In Case Someone Is Having The Same Problem.

When I First Depressed The Accelerator To Put The Car In Motion It Stuck A Little. If I Pressed The Pedal Hard Enough, It Then Worked Fine, But Makes It Jump Forward. I Cleaned The Throttle Body All Around The Butterflys With Carb Cleaner (Sprayed A Rag And Wiped It). There Was A Little Bit Of Build Up Around It. Now It Works Perfectly .

Hope This Helps Someone Out Because Its A Very Annoying Little Problem.

Thanks for the tip!

On my 92 I had a problem with the cable. I disconnected the cable at the ASR and throttle body and sprayed WD-40. Works great now.

Thing that stinks is that unless you rebuild the TB, you will be doing that about once or twice a month.. Still a great fix that's quick and easy..
