I've been experiencing this problem ever since purchasing my '91 awd 5 months ago. When I accelerate hard out of corners, my car bucks extremely hard. I can let off the gas and it stops, but I dont want to do that :) Its not only wot, the car still bucks at 75% throttle out of corners(both directions). Its weird because I can accelerate as hard as I want in a straight line w/out trouble. I have an Al Blaha Mas, rewired fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and 16g. I dont know what this problem could be related to....any help will be appreciated.
thanks, Andy
 
I had a 94' N/T that did that whenever I accelerated out of a turn and it was bad plug wires. Might want to check those out
 
I just put in new plugs and wires about 3 weeks ago----and it still does this crap:(
 
ttt---the tighter the corner, the less throttle it takes for the car to buck. ex. as I am making a U-turn, the car will buck almost unconditionally. If its a wide corner, I can get on the gas harder before it starts to buck. Any ideas???

it does it regardless of the amount of fuel in the tank. The previous owner rewired the fuel pump and installed a fuel pressure regulator. Do you think my problem could be related to one of these mods in some way?
thanks

Sounds like a fuel pickup issue. If so it should be worse on left hand turns or when well below 1/2 tank. If you just filled the tank FULL and it still does it it ain't fuel pickup issue, but could still be something electrical.
