I just bought this car from its original owner. although its in spectacular condition and runs very good I noticed something during normal driving. As i accelerate there is a slight herky jerkyness going on. As the car warms up it isn't as noticeable, but it's still there. I could start changing plugs and other tune-up things, but from the looks of this car, the previous owners didn't ignore maintanence. Any idea's? Thanks.

Try replacing the air flow meter.
