It's probably your "dashpot". Mine did it too. All it takes is a 10mm wrench to adjust. It's behind the manifold (fire-wall side). It looks like a silver-dollar, kind of. Just adjust it so that it doesn't stay in contact for very long. If you've got a Hayne's manual it contains directions for it's adjustment.

I took mine off, and have not driven the car (I stripped the TB and ported it) but have not driven it yet. I hope mine isn't an ***, or the dashpot will be back on
Could be the TPS... if its not getting an accurate reading... it won't cut fuel at what should be read as 0% throttle.

I don't have any dashpots and I don't have any bucking issues (except under 2krpm in 1st gear, which is to be expected) Generally it's caused by the TPS getting a faulty signal.
