Coasting and pulsating

With all of the posts regarding hesitation, ect. I figured I would comment on
how my D pulsates while coasting. Yesterday I was cruising down a flat road
in my home town. I had my foot resting on the accelerator and I was in 3rd
gear. My RPM's were right on the 2100 mark and my speedo read 35 MPH. What I
felt was a slight pulsation, almost as if the car was trying to keep up with
the pace given the consistent placement of the accelerator. If I pressed down
more on the pedal or released it, nothing out of the ordinary would happen,
either it would accelerate strong or decelerate accordingly. My question is
this: given that the D is a CFI engine (right?) would this explain the
pulsating at a consistent speed? I don't feel it unless I really concentrate
on it, or If I go slow enough. Last year I had my micro switch (the one near
the accelerator spool) replaced and my car is properly serviced. Has anyone
experienced this before? To better explain the feeling behind the wheel,
imagine sitting in a chair and ever so gently moving forward and backward -
that's what it feels like! Any ideas???
