Thanks for the advice!

Can I rule out the throttle actuator and wiring harness since the problems almost always go away after the engine is thoroughly warmed up?

I just figure it wouldn't be one of those problems since the symptoms aren't always present. Wouldn't a faulty throttle actuator or wiring harness manifest symptoms 100% of the time?

Thanks again!
