4.2 "Chuggles" at times.

Chuggles is about the best way I can describe what the motor is doing. Vehicle is a 2002 F150 with a 5 speed. Starts and runs fine. Idles without a problem. What it is doing is when you shift into 2nd or 3rd gear let off the clutch and give it gas to speed up it will kinda "skip" engine wise almost like a lurch but not really a lurch. It only really does this if you give it too much gas when the rpms are still low. I haven't thought much of it but lately it's been getting more noticable. Only does it with normal driving. If you go wide open throttle it does not "skip" at all. I'm suspecting it might be fuel related to some degree whether it's getting too much or too little.

Just wondering if anybody has had an issue similar to this.

EDIT: A better way to describe this is a slight buck when it does it.
