If you can describe the noise more acurately it would make for a simple diagnosis.

Can you descibe the noise a little further:

Does it go "clunkity, clunkity, clunkity..."

or
"chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp....."

or
"ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding..."
or
"bopida, bopida, bopida, bopida...."

or
"dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, dip, boom, boom, boom, boom, sha na na naaa, sh na na na na, get a job..."

When you say bucking noise, do you also mean that whole car bucks for a split second as if the fuel has been cut off? When was the last time the car has had a complete tune-up?
