All the symptoms you described are exactly what my car does. Right now I can't do any testing I have parked it for the winter. Has anyone put in an after market chip and seen the problem fixed? It seems that it must be a glitch in the 2000s program. I guess we will just have to drive above 3500rpm all the time.
