OK. Now, does it always do pretty much the same thing each time for a given command, or does it do one thing one time and another thing another time? (There's a reason I keep asking this).

Many factors could cause this behavior, including friction, free play, alignment, motor tolerances, wiring, and software. To get to the root cause would require time and patience, things which I'm guessing you probably don't have right now.
