Just curious if anyone has had this happen. My car is an 2002 3.0 with 90k miles. In the last few weeks it has started to buck when I let off the gas. It probably bucks 2 or 3 times and then drives fine. It only seems to happen when I let off the gas. My first thought was a bad mount or TPS.I guess it could be a bad fuel filter any thoughts?

 

mine does this too, but only when im at low revs and completely let off the gas. I've had this issue for a couple years now, i just ease off the gas to avoid it.

 

any thoughts on what to do?

 

I think its a slack in the drivetrain that causes this, not sure how serious it is.

 

Have you checked the drive train fluids? Might be one of them is low and you're getting a binding in the TC or tranny or rear end.

 

so do you mean the tranny fluid,rear dif,and transfer case levels? I had a new tranny installed early in the year and had the transfer case as well as the rear dif done last year but it was at a qucik stop oil place. I should probably check it. I sort of trust the tranny level because I had a jag sealer install the tranny for me.

 

ditto. I noticed it after I purchased the car when I totally let off the gas at certain RPMs. Thought I was in trouble but its been a year and I've adapted. Still going strong.

 

I think I will at least have the fluids checked and hopefully everything is o.k. This car is so nice but man aftrer I hit 80k it seems like its falling apart.

 

Check all of your vac lines.

 

update us when you find out.

 

I had a similar problem, it was caused by a worn throttle position sensor.
