Try pulling the vacuum line off the EGR valve and plug the line with a golf tee. Go for a spin and see if the bucking stops. If so, check for a lean miss which would indicate a vacuum leak or a problem delivering fuel out of the injectors(dirty injectors, low fuel pressure, blocked fuel filter).I had same thing with my 87 and the injectors were dirty. Remember, test don't go shot gunning new parts at it.

As a note...changing computers (from my '91 to the '93) made no difference either. I also replaced the three capacitors that commonly fail.
Still at a loss. Frustrating part is, I'm a good backyard mechanic. Grr
