Should be 38-40psi at idle, and 43-45 at WOT.

If you have a bucking problem, you might have a bad opti spark.

Does it happen at low rpm on heavy load?

Pull a code with scan tool. Code 16 is usually associated. Also, check for leaks under the waterpump. Moisture is what kills these.

If you want my complete Opti Replacement and Vent Guide. IM me your email address. (but let's not jump to conclusions yet)

Also might wanna change those plugs and wires first, considering you're going to want to anyway if it is the opti.

Yeah, I'd say it's about time. Low miles on an old car are deadly for Opti's. Especially if the front of the motor is grimy.
