bucking at constant speed

My '01 screw has 260+ miles on it. while 2 plugs have blown out and were replaced;
the rest were original.

driving on the freeway, keeping a 65-70mph rate,
i get a bucking that feels like an ignition miss.

apparently its not, the computer failed to register any misfires and
i had all the plugs replaced.

the symptom is reduced, but still there a bit.

does this sound like a familiar problem to anyone?

all suggestions appreciated, thx, jackc...

so you have had a coil go bad?

Hi GLC,

is this a symptom you have had and replacing coils fixed it?

i am a bit surprised that i got only one reply, is this a rare problem?

thx!

I had this problem as well in between 45-55 mph, changed all the plugs and COPs with no fix. Changed the fuel filter and viola, bucking stopped. Run some seafoam or lucas full fuel system treatment through your tank after replacing the filter, just in case you got some gummed up injectors and you should be good to go.

Try changing the fuel filter first, alot less money then new COPs.

Hope this helps!
