I've got a strange one here. Engine runs fine, but when accelerating,
especially hard acceleration, the engine cuts out for a second just as the
automatic transmission reaches shift. Going from first to second, second
to third most noticable. Then kicks back in. Makes for a real jerky ride.
Anyone have experience with an issue like this one?

Try replacing the pressurized gas cap. Get the correct one - mine said
"pre-vented." Made my 92 SE stop all that rough running immediately. See my
