Car is stuttering, bucking, and stalling!

I have a 96 with 5spd. This has been happening a lot in the past few days but not all the time. While accelerating normally, the car will stutter a bit. If I'm cruising at about 2000rpms the car will buck pretty bad, this will also happen at higher rpms and speeds to but usually between 1500-2500 rpms. If I'm driving and I start to feel the bucking, when I come to a stop or slow down, the car just stalls. I'll start it up again and it will just die again. I have to start it up and really give it gas to keep it form stalling again.

I have a frankencar intake and at first I thought there might be something wrong with the intake or the MAF. I think it is more of a fuel or ignition problem though. It feels as though the car is being starved of fuel, but could it be a problem with the coil packs or something.

TB was already cleaned, fuel filter is new, spark plugs seem fine, and THERE ARE NO CODES, I CHECK EVERYDAY!

Anyone have ideas. Sound like a coil pack problem, fuel injectors/pump, MAF?

my car bucks when my coils act up (doesnt happen often at all, so im waiting on it to throw a code), or it could be an injector if it's happening all the time
