It occures at very light throttle, usually coasting. The engine bucks and jumps, increasing or deacreasing throttle causes the bucking to go away. The problem is intermittent, usually when its wet. I have'nt had the problem in several thousand miles. I think it is related to a wiring problem, aggravated in wet conditions. I don't know if this is the same problem, but hope the added info may help to diagnose the problem. Colin A Moran If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull sh*t. '86 Syncro GL
