Default jerking lexus??

i have a 94 ls with 203,000 miles,on fri night,i put 8 gallons of gas in it and went home after the night of partying,i went home.sat afternoon jump in the car for a date ,driving down the street to pass a slow car,i've gave it the gas,and the car was jerking and bucking like it wasn't oing anywhere.i thought about bad gas but i've drove it home with no problems after i've gassed up?could it be bad gas,or needs a tune up?i need to get some dry gas but its hard to find!what is good for my car any suggestions?

Did you screw it up when driving drunk?????? hahahahah jk


Maybe the infamous trunk wire harness. I know that it causes bucking, have you also noticed any strange lighting issues?
