I have an '88. The '85 I had before that had the bucking issue at deceleration, but it went away after installing a Steve Wong chip.
On the '88, I had no bucking issue to begin with, but decided to install the SW chip for the added performance. That's when I had a bit of bucking.... not severe, but noticeable after not having the problem w/o the chip. Emailed Steve Wong about it and he said maybe I have a vacuum leak. Checked for a leak, but found nothing.... so... I decided to simply reinstall the original chip. Bucking gone. Must have something to do with the timing which I suppose is what the chip modifies. Would rather have a smooth ride vs better performance. Is funny that it was a cure on the '85, but caused a bit of a problem on the '88. Weird. Anyone out there want to buy a barely used standard SW chip?
