Re: (jimmy o.)
I wonder if you are having the same issue as I am....

Sometimes (about 1/3 of the time) when the engine gets up to normal temperature, the engine really wants to be at 1500 rpm. it idles at 1500 rpm (a little high). if you press the gas slightly, the engine will kind of surge, rpms going up, but then back down quickly, trying to stay at 1500rpm. if you give it more gas (push beyond 3500 rpm) it runs just fine. while its misbehaving and ur cruising around town, fully letting off the gas will cause it to bog hardcore. my engine loses lots of speed, and fast. again, likely after the ubiquitous 1500 rpm. now here is the clincher, if i turn off the ignition and turn it back on again (dont even have to slow down, just step on the clutch and click-click) the problem goes away completely until the next time the car is cold started, and even then its a maybe.
I assume its a sensor issue somewhere, and it must have something to do with the coolant temperature. but not sure what would cause it.</TD></TR></TABLE>
try cycling the key and see if it goes away. not a solution i know, but will save the stress on the poor car.
