i have kinda similar problems to what you have described, but I think that I have begun to notice they change when I futz with the HVAC controls. though I could be wrong. As soon as I get around to it, I'm going to plug off the vacuum line going to the HVAC (it's the vacuum hose in between the A/C evaporator lines under the hood) and test for continuing problems. I hate working under the dashboard, which is what has been stopping me from actually DOING this <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> (i guess stupid of me eh? )
