car trouble
 

ok well been having some trouble with the bird latly shes been buking while driving even more in 4th with tcc locked and more so if going up hills(florida hills) not real hills and then today on top of that the motor started 'fluttering" no power poor exelaration so i stoped and parked got out and poped the hood and nuthing was loos there was a little but of smoke coming from behind the distributer cap got back in the car and all of the problems went away any ideas on what it could be?

Re: car trouble
 

Have you checked fuel pressure yet?..any codes stored?.Could be EGR sticking..probably need more info.. it could be a number of things.So your going to get a lot of could be this or could be that.

Re: car trouble
 

no codes and i relly have no way of checking fuel pressure
and would the egr cause the bucking?

Re: car trouble
 

if the Egr is sticking in the open position it can create a vacuum leak which can create a lean mixture/poor performance.It also could be a transmission lock-up solenoid thats not unlocking.Seen it happen on front wheel drive cars which have the same symptoms you stated(bucking).Its possible you have more then one problem too?check your trans fluid and make sure its full and color isnt dark or smells burnt.
