No service lights come on, and my rpm gauge bounches around alot. I havent had any work done. It will do it no matter what speed basiclly from the time i put my foot on the gas till i take it off, and it doesnt matter what gear im in. Does this help any?

Sounds like fuel delivery to me.
Change the fuel filter 1st & see if there is any change in behavior.
That is easy to do and relatively cheap.
BTW, how does the air filter and crankcase breather element look?

i strongly recomend doing a tune up. plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air and fuel filters, and cleaning the throttle body. once you finish all that, see if that helps with the issue at all. sounds like it could be misfiring. what is the idle speed on the tach?
