Weird Symptom

My 85D runs kinda funny.... when I accellerate it 'pulsates' as if I'm pressing down on the gas pedal and letting off and pressing and letting off. It just did it all of a sudden. I thought at first that maybe the tranny is slipping but It shifts fine. Its like it accelerates fine initially then as if theres a lull and picks up again.

Could it be air getting in the fuel line? Dirty fuel filter? Dirty injectors?

I did put a can of Sea Foam recently to try to help clean the injectors cuz its been kinda sputtering after I start. Its always been a smooth starting engine but kinda gradually started sputtering when starting.

I also washed the engine before this started happening. But I've always washed the engine before and never had this.

Maybe a diesel purge is in order? Any thoughts?
