The IACV would only affect idle speed.

Pull the CEL code and do a tune up - plugs, wires, cap, rotor, ignition timing, fuel filter.

Only reason I suggested iacv was because mine just went on my em1 and I had alot of the same symptoms

i drove thru a flood once and i got my ignition coil wet (inside the dizzy cap). when i would accelerate in 1st gear, it would bog down and hesitate until i let off the gas. if your bucking while accelerating, it could be an ignition component failure. open the dizzy cap and look for any wetness. p.s. the ignitor coil is only $70 and replacing it wouldnt be a bad idea eitherway. good luck!
