My '91 Carat with manual transmission is running great with one exception.
When driving in traffic and I take my foot off the accelerator but have the
clutch engaged, the car bucks as if the engine is getting varying amounts of
fuel.  A for instance is when I'm stopped at a light and want to creep up
toward the car in front in anticipation of a light change, it bucks.  As soon
as I give it a little gas, it smoothes out, no problem.

Any idea what causes this?
