The first time I tried the engine was warm, the second time it was cold, mostly with a good amount of throttle. I made it to the gas station and filled up and it seemed to be okay afterwards. I'm going to see what happens with it tomorrow-if it will have the same symptoms, if it doesn't then I will let the fuel run down in the tank, see if maybe its got something to do with the pump. The car has never done this before its just now that I put it back on the road. Also I can rev it up and there is no hesitations or any missing, its only when its under load and up a hill it gave me the kicking or bucking. But today after the fuel it performed very well, only needs 3rd gear low RPMs to go 55, I wonder what the car would do in 5th at full but then again-I dont need the ticket or the chance of crashing;) I'll let you know how tomorrows drive goes.
