hey guys got a little problem. my beater(1984 toyota corolla 76k) has a problem. i will drive the car, and then stop at a light and the car will start to buck and then stall out. now this doesn't happen all the time. maybe once a day if that. i changed the spark plugs, wires, rotor, dis. cap and o2 sensor. a few weeks ago. and the problem really slowed down alot. now it's getting bad again. what can i do now to stop this.
