Jumping Engine

My 2k2's engine jerks and jiggles intermittently inside the chassis at all engine speeds. I can only feel it inside the car at idle, but when i have the hood up I can see the engine doing this at all rpms. Also, I feel a bit of a clunk when engaging the accelerator after its been let off of. Does this sound like a bad engine mount? My old Camry had a bad mount but its symptoms were much more obnoxious and pronounced. I took it to the dealer a few months ago, but they returned it to me saying they couldn't duplicate the fault, which is bull. Anyways, any thoughts or suggestions before I take it in again?
