I would try and reset the ECU, just pull the negative battery terminal for like 20 minutes. It can't hurt anything.

hey wuz up? this all comes down to how the engine is bucking..... have a friend stand outside the car looking at the exhuast pipe and put into gear either forward or revs. and have them tell you if your exhaust moves more then normal, if it does move a lil more then normal check your front motor mount but for good reasurence just check them all.if that's your problem the mount can run you about $35 - $55 each depending which one you need hit me up to my email if you need them or more info i'll hook you up k? lostsoulsfamily@aol.com

believe me i know he sucks..the only reason i gave it 2 him this time was b/c i thought somethin would be covered under the warranty (theres a few other things wrong)...the thing im pissed off at is that i had no problems before i gave it 2 him to change my radiator and other things (that WERE covered under warranty)..then all of a sudden it bucks and runs like shit..im tempted to buy a dam camera and tape him w/o him knowing lol

Where the hell did you come from? The engine will not buck because of broken motor mounts, you idiot. You can replace them all with solid steel and it will run just fine. Furthermore, if the mounts were blown, you could tell from, get this, looking at the mounts and watching the engine move in the bay. Go away, please.
