Bought a 1983 Buick LeSabre Limited Edition about a month ago. Was told the transmission had been rebuilt. Vehicle goes into reverse okay but won't take off in drive when shifted. Changed the screen and fluids, problem still exists. Bad Transmission? Seems to blow quite a bit of air from beneath as if a hose may be open or disconnected.

Will accelerate smoothly up to 75 mph when starting out cold. But after 20 minutes at steady 60 mph, engine will buck when accelerating to pass or climb a hill. Slightly easing off allows the engine to temporarily smooth out. Thereafter the the engine will begin bucking at progressively slower speeds such that I can't get over 35 mph after about an hour. Forcing the accelerater cause engine to completely stall, but it can be immediately restarted. Still persists after exchanging the following parts from a working '83 Olds: carburetor, fuel filter, fuel pump, air filter, EGR valve, spark plugs, distributer cap, coil, and ignition module. Air pump has been disabled by removing from loop with a shorter v-belt. No error codes appear when grounding the under dash computer terminal.
