I have a 1995 Buick Custom Skylark w/ V6 engine.
I have lately had a problem with the acceleration.
When the gas is pressed it sometimes is hesitating and popping through the carb. The car runs fine after this happens. It sometimes happens after stopping and then going again and sometimes it will happen when just driving along.

I have used a carb cleaner on the intake system and fuel cleaner as well. Still no results.
Have any ideas?

Hi:
Is the check engine light on? Also, have you checked for vacuum leaks? Finally, has the fuel filter been replaced or fuel pressure tested?
