I didn't mention that it only hesitates once after restarting. I can drive
hundreds of miles, stop and go, and it never does it again....until I shut
it off, walk away for a little while, and then restart before it completely
cools off. Does that make any difference concerning your ideas? thanks for
the help so far!
