car is bucking at constant rpms under load

Like the title says car is bucking in between 1500 and 2000 in every gear but fifth it seems like. I believe the timing is advanced as well i wanna say its atleast 6 degrees. Atleast thats what the previous owner said. The car is a 91 z28 305 tpi. I have a 350 that i plan on putting on there with in a year so i would like o find out what this problem is

Pull the diagnostic error codes (if there are any) and report back.

Please read the other post that I just responded to in order to learn how to pull the error (diagnostic) codes

Re: car is bucking at constant rpms under load

Maybe, its timing/TPS setting issues, I dont really know. I would do several basic things,

1) complete an idle air/ minimum RPM adjustment

2) adjust the TPS to within spec

3) set the timing to 6* ---> in doing this you must disconnect that ESC (electronic spark control) wire.

These three things are basic to a good idle, and if these are not set correctly, it can lead to drivibility issues.

Re: car is bucking at constant rpms under load

Instruction on how to do the above post is found in the two articles under the Home Page here under Technical Articles:
"IAC and TPS Adjustment" and
"Adjusting the Timing on Fuel Injected '82 - '92 F-bodies"

You can not survive w/o knowing how to do this stuff.
