I have a 94 plymouth acclaim w/approx 120,000 mi. withing the last 3
weeks problem started..when driving on the highway and start to
accelerate the car hesitates and starts to "buck" especially when I get
up between 55 and 65 mph, if I take my foot of gas peddle or "punch it"
it stops doing it only to start again when I get to 55-65 again (I've
tried carb/choke cleaner/treatment, tried fuel treatment, octane boost,
condensate remover, also started buying higher grade fuel from exxon,
mobile, texaco as opposed to generic companys. any suggestions?
thanx

Wiring connections. Your losing # 1 signal from the dist. The
connectors get loose and corroded from age and engine vibrations.
Unplug all the connectors you can find- start at the dist and follow
to the 'computer'. Inspect all the pins, for looseness, dirt,
corrosion, etc. Clean and coat the pins with DELECTRIC grease
(silicone grease) and reinstall. This will take about 2-3 hours if
you take your time and be carefull.

Pete - been there done that fixed the problem.
