This is my girlfriends car actually. I am driving it cause its basically scaring the crap out of her. The pulsation seems to happen at about the 2200-2400 RPM range.With your foot on the accelerator it jumps all over the map within a few hundred RPMS. I suspect its a throttle sensor but I'm going to have to get her to take it in. There is no engine code, and the car seems to not want to idle very well when the temperature gets to around the freezing mark. (Hey were in Canada..it gets cold here!) The car runs great except at that RPM and it seems a little sporadic.

Update from Aug 23, 2013: Looks like the problem was fixed at the dealer. Thank goodness under warranty. It was the torque converter at fault, something I never suspected but it took 3 appts to get it resolved, and we have another 7000 kms on the work done and no repeat of the pulsation. Hope this helps.
