Bucking Max

Ok. I previously had a problem with my MAX bucking,found that it was the 02 sensors. Now I have replaced them and I still get a slight buck in the morning. I don't have a CEL. I have tried the fuel cleaner. checked my coils, and my plugs look fine. What else could it be that isn't throwing a code.

Couple days ago, that same bucking thing started up in themorning with my Max. SES light came on and it turned out to be the MAF. I would tell you to check the MAF but I don't know if there's a way to check if its malfunctioning. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Are coil packs plugged in all the way?

I did a test on all of my coil packs . The one where you unplug them one at a time. And they all tested ok. I just played with my idle, it was kinda high. I don't know if that was it though.

I did this test too.

But, the problem is usually intermittent, so, if the coils are working
at that moment, they'll all test OK...I know that they all tested OK
when I was working on 'em, but I still have issues (with the car that
is!)

actually, there's 6 of them...
if you look around, some dealers will sell for $60US/each + shipping.
