Default Im losing patience!!!

I drive a 95 GT and this problem is really getting on my nerves, then again what problem doesn't. When I am cruising on the road or on the interstate my car boggles/bucks while this is happening the tachometer will jump with it, it has gotten to the point where sometimes it might even backfire. I have replaced the TPS and the Ignition Coil because of this and it doesn't do it as much as it used to but it's still doing it. This will happen once every three days or three times in one day could it be the magnetic pickup in the distributor?

When's the last time the car had a tune up? Plugs,wires,distributor cap,rotor,fuel filter. I've had the bucking problem before and it was my rotor...not saying thats your problem but it could be.

could be a bad TFI module or stator in the dizzy, sounds like a primary ignition prob moree so than secondary, but I wouldn't rule out a bad cap or rotor

I'd start with a good tune up with quality wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter.

my dad had the same problem with his 97 v-6 and it turned out he was running winter grade fuel in the summer. He showed me a list of all the fords and makes made by ford that had this problem. Mine was on it but, i have never had that problem. That probably isn't it but, if you live in a small town it could be the problem.

could be a few things start with simplest run the gas empty start freash,
If that doesnt work give urself a good tune up plugs wire/cap,rotor.
could be fuel filter so do a fuel pressure test easy enough.
if not that check ur ignition components tfi module or stator in the dizzy.
Just take it easy its probably something so stupid.
Hell if ya want dump some seafoam threw the BB vacume hose lol

okay plugs are good, wires are good, cap and rotor are good, fuel filter Im not sure, and from what I know the last tune up was around this time last year so that leaves the stator which I'm unsure of like the fuel filter but if it was a fuel filter wouldn't the problem occur more frequently?
