Thanks unisys12,

I think it's weird that the CEL isn't on with the engine behaving so oddly, also. It did this last year and it was well over $1000 to fix, though at that time the CEL was ON. They replaced the computer, EGR valve, MAF sensor, O2 sensors, plus did a tune-up -- all on my dime! Surely after only one year and less than 30,000 miles those same components could not have gone bad!?!? *sigh* I dunno...

After I drop $50 on a computer test I'll let you know what the mechanic says. Peace out.
