My 1.8 FI likes to buck intermitently. Sometimes around corners, and sometimes going straight. Doesnt seem to matter what RPM it is at either. The engine has completley died a couple times from it too. At times it is a series of heavy bucks, or just one or two. I have a few ideas at what could cause it, but I was wondering if anyone else could come up with some more.

Hi, my ljet runs as smooth as a baby's bottom! There was a short period of time that it would randomly feel like it was running out of gas or only on a few cylinders...then it would be fine. It was very intermittent. Turned out to be loose connectors on the fuel injectors in my scenario. I'd check all your electrical connections. I'd think if it were vacuum related (usually the cause of ljet issues) it would be more constant.
