Could it possibly be the calibration of the pedal?

I get this on my car also, only in sport mode when I'm barely touching the pedal just to maintain speed. I suspect that it's most likely the accelerator pedal sensor being finicky and oversensitive. When I had my Apexi Throttle controller installed (basically amplified stock signal), the jerking was at least 5x how it is in stock form. Does it go away when you press the pedal a bit harder?
