I finally got around to changing my fuel pressure regulator yesterday evening and my problems are solved. No more bucking during acceleration. However, when I got in there I found that the vaccum hose that attaches to the FPR had disconnected itself and the hose clamp had slipped off into who knows where. So, that probably was the issue, but I changed the FPR anyway. I used a normal hose clamp from Autozone to finish it off.
I changed my Fuel filter the day before yesterday and although that didn't fix my entire problem, it did fix the problem of engine bucking when I was just cruising at speed on the highway so I highly recommend that change to anyone experiencing the same issues.
As for the modified allen wrench that you guys send around, you had me scared that it was something that I wouldn't be able to do myself. I just cut my allen wrench using a Dremmel tool cutting blade that I put on my drill. That $2.00 item easily cut the extended length allen wrench that I got in a set at Autozone for 7.99. I have now used those dremmel cutting blades attached to my drill to 1) take off the silicone on the bottom of my VX windows 2) modify the allen wrench for this project and 3) shave down the tips of the circlip pliers so that they would fit in the tiny holes to remove the FPR on this project. Best $2.00 I ever spent.
