Default Is This a Tuning Problem?

2000 Formula, stock 6-speed tranny. Mods in sig.

When I'm driving and keeping the car at a constant speed, the car keeps bucking. It feels like I'm playing with the throttle. It'll start off pretty light but if I keep the car at that same speed, it'll start bucking harder and harder until I let off the gas.

The car runs fine other than that. No check engine light. WOT is just fine. Any suggestions?

Maybe I am wrong, but all I see in your sig is "Nitro Dave's Nitrous outlet"?

Could very well be a tuning issue. Is there a cam in your mod list?

I don't know what you're talking about. LOL Kidding. I forgot I had changed my sig. Well, I put it back the way it was.

Cam specs are now back in my sig. My buddy just messed with my tuning so I'll need to see what he suggests. Have you run into this problem before?
