Bucking like a bronco

Hey everyone,
I am need of a mental check. I recently had the Rodeo serviced (Oil, Plugs - OEMs, Radiator flush, checked ATF and IMG - which had no leaks), within the past two weeks my truck started bucking in first gear and I noticed small leaks in the driveway. If I accel slow, it shifts fine anytime other than that forgetaboutit!! I have also noticed that when I am making turns, it also bucks and the RPMs jump up over 2000. The temps started to drop here in the Mid-Atl region. Question to my fellow members...Could it be the MAF? Bad IMG? or tranny? To top things off...no CEL. Thanks again for all the help.
KC

Re: Bucking like a bronco

could be a bad IMG or your range senor (that controls the tranny) is dirty or dieing.

Hey Ryan,
Thanks for the heads-up. I had the Range Sensor replaced about 2 months ago at the stealership. Just called the dealer to make an appt. I may go ahead and get the IMG done so I don't have to do it later down the road.
Thanks, KC

A more advanced code reader/scanner should be able to pickup pending codes to help pinpoint this. Are you 100% sure the OEM denso or champion plugs were used? If plugs are ok, I'd guess an IMG is shot.

Hey Guys,
Well, my mechanic found the problem. The accumulator cover was shot and was leaking ATF. The cover kit is coming in today and will be repaired for $300. Just in time for the Holidays.
Merry Christmas, KC
