I have a 95 pontiac grand am, v6. It recently started bucking when going uphill. This has gradually escaladed to bucking while trying to maintain speed (usually around 50 mph). The fluids are good. It has new spark plugs and wires as well as a new air filter.

Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
