My engine seems to shudder every time I take load off the engine. Sometimes it happens worse than others. Anyone have any insight?

I have experienced the exact same thing a few times when I was standing at a red light! But its realy inconsistent and only turns up once or twice a week!!
I´m not an expert at all, but it might be because the engine is not runing on all cylinders!
Maybe the failing HPFP as mentioned in other threads?!

Don't know if you mean the following: you're standing in front of the traffic lights waiting and after a few moments you feel some sort of thud (difficult to describe but it's some sort of tender shiver or shrug - only once), as if the engine settles. That's what I sometimes experience too. No idea why. Noticed that, but thought that it's normal.

No not at all. I'm talking about when you're traveling on the highway and you take your foot off the throttle, there is a just or clunk feeling.
