[DML] Re: Bucking and Kicking

["TalksToGod" <5n-@xxxxxxx>]

The first time I tried the engine was warm, the second time it was
cold, mostly with a good amount of throttle. I made it to the gas
station and filled up and it seemed to be okay afterwards. I'm going
to see what happens with it tomorrow-if it will have the same
symptoms, if it doesn't then I will let the fuel run down in the tank,
see if maybe its got something to do with the pump. The car has never
done this before its just now that I put it back on the road. Also I
can rev it up and there is no hesitations or any missing, its only
when its under load and up a hill it gave me the kicking or bucking.
But today after the fuel it performed very well, only needs 3rd gear
low RPMs to go 55, I wonder what the car would do in 5th at full but
then again-I dont need the ticket or the chance of crashing;) I'll let
you know how tomorrows drive goes. Thanks for your help, Dan Benedek #5003
