I have a 95 3.2 ATX with 130K miles on it.. In most cases when the engnine is still cool, the engine seems to buck between 200-800 rpm and sometimes it stalls out. Yet I am able to start it right back up and keep going like nothings wrong. Does anyone have any ideas about the problem? Im thinking that its the fuel pump or just my airfilter is really dirty and is making the car choke for air..

First thing you can do is to see if there are any stored codes in your ECC. See what your car is trying to tell you. If you try a search you will find links on how to get them yourself and what they mean. A few people have the links in the sigs too.

After checking the codes, if you do not find any that point to a possible cause of the stumbling condition, you should evaluate the condition of the plugs and plug wires. A misfire with no EEC codes usually points to the secondary igition system: plugs and plug wires. The EEC is not able to detect malfunctions due to wire insulation or plug failures.
