lol, thats your problem. Even though he told you what was wrong...he most likely sold it cause he couldn't figure it out. But on the bright side, get this fixed and you got a sweet deal.

As far as the bucking, I don't know if I can help to much, run some lucas injector cleaner (could clogged injectors cause his problem?)...and check the o2's like 302army187 said...have you checked the tps and timing yet?
