    All of the sudden im getting bucking engine. Once its running fine for many miles. Sometimes, ill sit, and when it starts, the engine seems to jump a bit. I give gas, alls fine. Get a check engine that basically say cyl 1 is having issues (gas etc). Im in so cal - seems hardware (engine) related. Could be gas, but it seems a physical thing. Any ideas or recomendations? TIA!

    On pretty flat ground, it starts bucking - keeps it up even if i give gas - until i pit it in gear, works great as long as iys in gear....
