>Hi. I have a 1992 SL2 Saturn. It has 107,000 miles on it. For the >last 20,000 miles or so, it has bucked on acceleration, particularly >when warmed up. (It bucks when cold, but only mildly, and because the >idle is up higher, the bucking is masked.) At highway speed I can >sense a miss, but the speed of the vehicle smooths out the bucking, >and it is hardly noticeable - but it is there. >I have replaced the plugs, used several bottles of injector cleaner, >replaced the in-line fuel filter, resistance-checked the spark plug >secondary circuit, verified that the fuel pump is within tolerances >published in Haynes, and verified the proper operation of the EGR >valve and fuel manifold pressure relief valve. I have also replaced >the accelerator cable. >The "Service Engine Soon" light is not on. There is nothing logged on >the car diagnostics computer that I can find. >The car may be getting about 2 miles per gallon less than it did >20,000 miles ago, but I can't be sure - it gets about 28 mpg today, >combined driving. I don't know if this is related, but when I engage >the cruise control, there is a temporary increase in engine speed and >road speed (to the tune of about 4 mph), before it settles down to the >selected speed. (Settles down in about ten seconds.) Cruise works >perfectly after that. >I am lost for ideas. Anyone got any ideas? How old are your plug wires? That'd be next on my list.
