Well, the video would have been more useful if you pointed it at the speedometer and
gas pedal at the same time so we could tell speed and gas pedal position.

But with the sound and description via audio, I would now take my chips and put 70%
of-em on a bad distributor, or something like bad intermitant spark, coil.....? and 20%
of my chips on fuel delivery, 10% TPS, MAP, Discounting the last 10% because no
codes are set.....

I don't think this is the standard Dakota engine problems on all the forums..... Spitting
through the carb is classic ignition problems.....

I had a wire go bad in our Prelude, I think it was 2 wires, A few years ago.
It would start, warm up & idle fine. Put it in gear - step on gas and it would
spit through the carb body, buck, all the stuff your tape sounded like.....

And it didn't do it all the time.... The carbon wire stuff got hot discolored
cracked at the very end near the spark plugs...... You could see it once you
pulled the boot off..... Cut it back, reattached it and they are still on the
car running today.....

You might have a distributor problem, pickup, or some other thingie in there....
