Whenever I accelerate going up hills or even sometimes just driving down the road, my car bucks or jerks alot and I have to let off the gas and accelerate slow for it to stop. I've had the car for a year and have put new headgaskets in, alternator, 2 fuelpumps (first one was defective) and just recently a fuel pressur regulator. The problem started about 3 months after the last fuel pump was put in. Any ideas what is wrong?
