After I've been driving for 10 minutes or so and I'm going down the road in 4th at 35mph with my foot barely on the gas pedal. I don't get massive bucking but enough that it annoys the hell out of me. It also happens when I'm in 3rd going 25mph and 5th going 45 to 50mph. Two main things that were replaced were the timing belt and distributor. Though I got the distributor replaced a couple months after the timing belt and that is when it started happening. Would it be from the distributor or what? The timing belt and distributor was done by a professional mechanic. I did the starter by myself, plugs and wires, but these were even before the timing belt/distributor.

If I am understanding "bucking" properly, are you referring to the car misfiring under acceleration? Or bucking because you need to downshift?
Check your plugs, and if you replaced your wires with non-OEM I would recommend going back to OEM. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

For one, I'm sure he hasn't changed his driving style since he took it to the shop, and 2, if you are in a to high gear slightly tapping the gas pedal doesn't generate as much "bucking" as it would going WOT throttle. -------------------- "God created turbo lag to give V8's a chance"
