Why would a car be pulsating during acceleration?

Art Vandelay asked:


I was riding in my friend’s car today and when he accelerated, his car seemed to kind of lose and gain power in a pulsating pattern. Instead of a smooth, uniform acceleration, he got sort of a go/stall/go stall thing every second or so. It seemed like nothing serious, because it stopped after the car had been on a while. Should I tell my friend to worry about anything?
