So i have a Toyota corolla 86 sr5 4ac motor , basically car run great at first when it warms up(5-10 min) it starts bucking (surging bucking puttering)i ran threw all the gears and it only seems to do it after it warms up . As soon as i park the car it throws out all the antifreeze. The old radiator would not cycle the antifreeze so i replaced it and the thermostat same bucking problem. i think it could be the water pump so i am going to that next (the hole weeper is dry,not leaking). A buddy of mine told me to run the heater it seems to calm the car down but it does fix the issue , correct me if I'm wrong but it cant be the fuel system cause it would do it right off the bat or the transmission right ?? , hopefully its something stupid like a fuse but i wouldn't know how to start any help would greatly be appreciated. thanks guys

It would help a lot if you can describe the symptoms in a little more detail.

Surging idle when it's warm usually means you have an intake leak or too much air entering the system.
For those issues consult this thread.

If it's bucking while you are driving it that is almost always bad TPS adjustment. Test it and adjust it as per the BGB.
