I have a 1991 GSX, no mods all stock, automatic, i was driving too school the other daay and around 75 -80 mph, the car starts bucking forwardly like twice and then it stops, then i take it to my dad's shop and ic heck my wires and i found a lot of oil in the area under the mitsiubushi plastic cover and my car needed a quart of oil, then i dry up the oil and put the necessary oil then it doesnt do it again. Then on my way home, i was pulling out of a gas station on a highway and i press the gas and the car moves but after five sconds its starts to buck forwardly again like the fuel is not reacheing or the spark is not reaching or someting, then the car just drops to 400 rpm the chek engine lite comes on and ipress the gas there is nothing, the car is still on and i hear my the driveshaft moving, not moivng but it is trying to move, so punch the gas a little bit more and it moves and doesnt do it again. what can it be? i need anybodys help..thanks :dsm:
 
i changed my plugs, and my filter about a month ago, i think the next thing i am gonan change is the wires, its not misfiring, can raising the throttle a lil help this problem :dsm:
 
my misfiring fiasco was cause of the #1 cylinder's wire was bad. the bad wire also fried the plug. just put some NGK's in and some new wires and it ran beautiful.
 
thanks alot for all your help, iam gonna go ahead and change my wires. I was looking at themthe other day, they had a red circle around the bottom of it where it goes into the plug, does that mean anything? thanks :dsm:
