I've been working on all sorts of cars and I haven't seen or heard of that either. It sounds like a real bad short. It might be difficult but check the ignition wiring and the A/C wiring for crossed wires. Check the fuse/relay box under the hood for blown/burnt/melted fuses/relays. Sorry for all the ///. Try to follow the symptom to the problem. Start at the plugs and work you way through to the A/C. Pay close attention to power supply wires. Make sure to follow as many of the wires as possible. Let us know what the problem was. Hope this helps.



Thanks, I thought I had done that, but maybe not enough. It's perplexing because it's been to the dealers 3 different times. I know it's missing, and they know it, it'll miss when they're driving it, they just don't know WHAT is causing it. I have looked and looked and looked for wires, shorts, fuses, anything ! But I guess I'll try it again, thanks for the input.
