Default lurch at very low throttle

my car every now and then (maybe 1 out of 6 trips in it per day) will do this. i will take off, and be cruising through the parking lot, very low throttle, without moving my foot a milimeter, it will fall right on its face then right back up again every few seconds, like im running a very light flywheel (i AM running a 9lb flywheel) but the car doesnt do it all the time so its not the flywheel. im starting to suspect my FPR/injectors and maybe my tps...

havent investigated at all as of yet, but i thought id tell you all and just shoot the **** and see if anyone has heard of this or if its a common problem with an obvious fix before i go all rambo-diagnostic-attack-squad on the damn shizen car

Start simple. Is the CEL ON? What's the condition of the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor?

My 94 hatch does this. In my case it's not a problem of the engine acting up, it seems like i have a few mounts that have eaten the dust and my engine is moving around way too much. The throttle is very sensitive at low speeds, it seems like my engine is moving back and forth with every combustion cycle. If I am downshifting before a stop sign and just rolling in second gear before stopping it does this as well.

Good thing I'm swapping in a b series with new mounts.
