I have been having problems with my car bucking at a high acceleration and then getting worse and worse as the car heats up and then when it was cool it would be go back to the not as bad problem. 2 days ago I tookm it skiing and on the way home it was doing it very bad and then I got home ands turned it off, a couple hours later I turned it back on and it will run very badly no power backfiring cylinder misfires cant rev past 5000 rpm will idle at 500 rpm and die constantly. When I went to the mountain right before I was about to start going up hill I stopped the car to let it cool and it was like it would not shut off it kept turning over for about 5- 10 seconds. I have checked the vacuum cleaned egr valve fuel pump dist. Could it be spark plug wires or plugs? I just put new plugs in about 5 months ago also the exhaust is pouring out black stuff onto the ground from the fumes like when I put in carb cleaner just stains the ground darker????

I would start with checking the plugs and wire. There could be one that is fouling up or the gag is not right.

Fuel supply and ignition coil are theonly 2 things I can think of that come close for ur symptoms. Chk pressure and volume flow when it acts up. Well as for the coil. We use low amp probe from an oscilliscope to look at current ramp waveform. If u don't have one or u don't know how to use it. Pay some shop to find that out for u. Test it while it's acting up. Good luck man
