Subject:bucking/ what fix
From:Jason Willenbrock
Date:Tue, 12 Sep 2000 11:51:54 EDT

how many people have solved their bucking with the wiring harness?  how many
have solved it other ways?  i replaced my temp sensor (the blue one, right?)
and still after about ten hours of driving the bucking starts again.  i stop
and get gas and then the bucking comes back by the time the tank is half
full.  this happens religiously and i have driven cross country three times
using this method.  i guess filling it up give the ecu(?) a chance to cool
down a little, but then in about 180 miles it commences.  when road trip is
over, a couple days rest brings her back to no more bucking, unless 10 hours
of road time comes along.  so what to do?  install harness, replace ecu?  i
am rebuilding my engine will this have any effect?  rather than replace a
bunch of little parts, i would rather get to the source and be done with it.
  also, another symptom is, at start up the idle is too low and almost dies,
then all of the sudden it surges right up to where it should be, is this
caused by the same problem or something else?
thanks
