What you describe is a cylinder not contributing,This can be from a misfire such as a broken sparkplug wire to a broken sparkplug, If it was a vacuum leak it would lope at idle but not buck at high speed,

If it is a carb engine check the carb setup, check if the carb is clean.

SOURCE: 96 Chevy Silveraldo, 5.7 Vortec v8. Idles fine,

I have the same problems but unlike the unleaded only guys I can switch to CNG also.
It happens when it shifts to overdrive, and then it goes to bucking and popping and you have to baby it or it will just pop real loud through the intake and just BOG DOWN.
Now I know I have a #7 injector clogged 100% or almost.
but you wouldnt think it would have to use that injector when i am running on the CNG. who knows.
My buddy told me that he had someone do something to a module of some sort that was hard wired into the tranny harness.
I will do more research on that and get back to you , simply because I am having the same problems now and I WANT THIS TO GO AWAY QUICKLY. I truly believe there is something to be said about going to the extreme pros on stuff like this (not dealerships most of the time, except for lexus) I mean the guys in the trenches, diagnostic nerds that pride themselves on solving puzzles, not the guys who are collecting a check.

I WILL FIGURE THIS ONE OUT.

Could be your fuel filter is plugged if you have one. My 2005 doesn't as there are filter screens in each injector. Find a buddy with a reader and go for a test ride with it plugged in. There are too many possibilities to mention

1994 chrysler concorde cuts off fuel and spark while driving

It's very possible you have a bad ignition switch. My '96 LXi had the same problem, plus it tended to randomly drop into "Limp Mode" at any speed.

After replacing the ignition switch (3 years ago) neither of those problems has resurfaced.

96 concorde stalled while drivibg and wont start

I have a '96 Concorde Lxi. When that happened to me, it turned out to be the ignition switch. By the way, replacing that switch also fixed another problem that nobody (including the dealer) could figure out - the sudden and unexpected downshift at cruising speeds. Real scary!

Loping idle 1995 honda accord occurs when ac is on for a few minutes seems like the compressor clutch is engaging and disengaging it is a nuisance and the air doesnt blow as cold

bad compressor? (seizing) or
or engine is so weak, at idle (lean), that it cant run your compressor.
the reason for the lope is the ECU idle speed controls going crazy.
id say, the ISC is a victim here.

Lean misfire,when you give a vehicle a load,the demand for spark or the KV is increased,if the spark does not reach its intended load and cross fire the stumbling begins,spark from spark plug wire seek the easiest route which is ground,whether it be at the coil itself spark wire leaking you are dealing with a ignition misfire

Rough idling/loping at idle it otherwise runs fine off idle.

1. Vacuum leakage Check throttle body and intake manifold for tightness. check all vacuum hoses.
2. Faulty fuel or pump or electrical.
3. Plugged PVC valve.
4. Air filter clogged
5. Leaking head gasket.
6. Camshaft lobs worn.
All of these porblems can cause lopes or erratic idle.
