Carl...I'm writing to thank you. I replaced the coils last night and the problem seems to have gone away. I appreciate your efforts.

Barry

Thank you, sir.

Can you tell me what you'd test first? I'm a newbie to auto repair and also would appreciate your guidance if I'm crossing into the zone of a boy trying to do a man's work.

I have an '04 Bonneville SE that is doing the following:

1. Starts fine and runs fine when cold/getting to hot.
2. Normally runs fine when hot.
3. Randomly hesitates, then surges and seems to downshift when in 2nd or 3rd gear. This lasts for about 3-4 (nervous!) seconds and then goes back to normal ...

Andrew...your service and style are reminiscent of the "old" days...when people could CALL someone and actually get an answer in real English. I could not be happier with my overall experience in dealing with you. Like it or not...I'm going to keep emailing, calling and buying from you!!

Thanks so ...
