>Problem 1
>About 2 years ago it started surging when I put it under a little
>load. Like climbing a hill at freeway speeds. The tach will bounce 100
>to 500 RPM down. ( I don't feel it is the trans, it would bounce up if
>the torque converter was slipping). Now it does it at speeds as low as
>30 when climbing a hill. If I step further down on the throttle to
>increase my speed, it feels good.

>I've had it the shop 3 times.

>1st time - 11/9/07. Mileage 74k. Major fuel service. Flush, clean
>injectors, New fuel filters.
>This did not help.
>
>2nd time - 11/12/07. Found carbon tracking on the wires.  Replaced
>wires, a couple of coils, and the plugs.

>3rd time

>Problem 2
>The exterior temp readout has went wacky. It will read 126 deg. When
>it is in this state, the only way I can get heat is if I turn the temp
>to the max (90) Then it roasts me out.
>Sometimes, it will start high, then come down to the ambient
>temperature, other times, not. If it drops the readout to 100 or less,
>the temp control works just fine.
>This is driving me buggy
