Engine bucking while accelerating in 1st and 2nd gears

Hi there.
I just bought a '94 GS 5speed, and it runs well... although the guy said the EGR was clogged and needed to be cleaned... so the idle is turned up higher... I turned the idle down to normal and it would stall every now and then, so I turned it back up... anyway, when I'm pulling away in 1st, it bucks badly, like when someone is first learning to drive standard, and they're not giving it enough gas or whatever when they're trying to pull away... then in second gear it still bucks, but I gotta get it up fast enough to get into third gear, then in third gear it bucks a tiny bit at first, and then smooths right out... on the highway it runs like a champ, it's good on gas, lot's of power all through the revs in the higher gears.... shifting down, in second sometimes it bucks and sometimes not... it seems to not buck when I'm under power going around corners in 2nd, and it's worse when the engine is cold... any ideas anyone?
