Re: running rich
take it to a shop, or a friend with something that can read your ecu and watch the real time activity such as o2 sensor voltage tps voltage map voltage etc. im sure something in there is starting to give up.

Re: running rich
You didn't state if it was throwing any codes, so I assume no?
Do like Mark W said. A friends car recently did this, and we checked the TPS and it needed to be reset. After that, the bucking went away.

Re: running rich
Check your ECU to see if it is throwing codes. You will have to use a jumper wire to do this. Count the amount of long blinks and quik blinks to find the right code(s) it is throwin, if any. After that get out the voltmeter and have fun 
If you are still having trouble and your manual isn't helping, find a tech/guru.
