Hi, I have a 1996 SL-1 manual with 120,000 miles on it. For about the first 5 minutes most mornings, it stumbles under medium load. Idles ok. If revved above 3500, it runs ok. But, when cruising down the road at 2000-2500 rpm, it will start to buck like crazy. I just downshift and drive at a higher rpm for a while. After about 5 minutes, it goes away. I have recently replaced the plugs, plug wires, fuel filter and engine coolant temp sensor. It rarely throws a code (unless I let it buck a lot) and if it does, the code tells me I have a cylinder misfire (not always the same cylinder). It doesn't seem to do it as much if it the ambient temp is above 80F. I only have a code reader, not a real scan tool, so I can't check sensors, etc. Any ideas? Thanks, Buster
