drives normal then starts bucking??

[91 shonice]

This morning she started out running fine. While I was on the highway, the car started bucking and I had a sharp drop of power. I pulled over and shut her down for a few minutes. Then when I started up again, the car ran fine but I have no Tach for about 5-10 miles then kicks on out of know where. I havent had a chance to run codes but any ideas on what it could be. Its my only car so I need a fix fast....

I would check your DIS, battery cables (grounds) or your CPS. Run the codes first, but I'll bet one of those things is your culprit.

Replace your cam position sensor.

ran codes but now what

Okay guys, I finally got a chance to run the codes. KOEO code was 211 and 214. I guess one off them is the cam ID sensor. What's the 211 code? I did change the CPS. The girl I bought the car from said the dealer replaced the CPS but when I pulled it out, I realized that they didn't gap the sensor and it was worn through.
KOER test was code 167 and 225. Anyone know what these are?
Now here's the problem, I intermintently lose power while I'm driving(the car just dies). Starting the car is real tough also. The car dosen't want to tun over and I also lose complete power as I'm cranking. As for the bucking and no RPMS still have that problem still. You guys got any ideas??? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

211 (M) Ignition PIP signal was erratic or missing - Ignition Systems
167 (R) No Throttle Position sensor change in "goose" test (must get at least 25% rotation) - TPS
225 (R) Knock sensor not tested (ignore if not pinging) - KS

Assuming you've already reeplaced your CPS (your timeline is not clear), replace the cam sensor.
