Look in to replacing the fuel pump, or just keep the fuel above 1/4 tank.. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

A car won't misfire only under 1/4 tank.. maybe under 1/4 throttle, but in this case the poster re-iterized the fact that bucking would be a closer match, and a dirty lower fuel sock is the most likely culprit..
