I used to get surging when the car was cold, in first it would surge a bit, then shifting into second, and all through second, but went away when it was warmed up. There is a TSB for a ECU Flash, TSB Code 18-031-04 REV A, dated november 12th 2004. This did not apply to me, but seeing as how they were talking about a few of the problems i had, i had it done (work at the dealer anyway.. why not). Here are the symptoms/conditions.Pappa Doc said:I just got my 22's on and it feels like there is a hesitation in the shift from 1st to 2nd. It's just a little surging feeling like it's not sure if it wants to shift or not. It didn't do that before. Any Thoughts?Also how much clearance do you have between that nut and your tire. It is real close!!! No rubbing but when I saw it I was a little nervous!!!
Thanks for your help,
PappaDoc
