1995 Silhouette 3.8 engine bucks when going down hill and left hard turn. This is an intermitant problem. Some days it runs like new.

Hello GriffinDen,
I have changed the spark plugs and wires, moved them to on top of the engine and it seems to help. The dealer told me to change the computer and the crank sensor but that didn't do anything! I still get the bucking but not all the time. SO MUCH FOR THE DEALER! Today I thought the engine was going to stop running. It seems to be an electrical problem, very erratic. It passed smog check this past month. figure that! Send me an e-mail direct if you'd like to discuse this more. kd6mrf@earthlink.net
