Could be an engine miss, or, maybe TCC bounce? But, if the tach doesn't really change.... Hhhmm....

How is your plenum? Last time you had a tune up?

Did the check engine flash code check and got normal codes 12 for battery disconnected and 55 done reading. Havent replace the 02 sensors and dont think they have been. Sometimes i could drive 20 miles to town and back and it wont do it except until i coast down a hill were the speed slows down to 45 and were i got to get back on gas a little like 1500 rpm or so it does it but if i let it just coast there it wont or if i put pedal down a lil bit it further wont do it either
