The other night I change out my CCVV's and it didn't help.

I did take it for a ride the other night after it was already run up to temperature and then shut it off, and after restarting while at operating temp it ran like a top (better than it probably ever has for some reason). So, the next day I was at work and when I went to leave work (car was ambient temp) it ran like crap...idle surge, jumpy throttle at low speed across the parking lot, etc. When I got across the parking lot and was about to pull out of the driveway I decided to shut it off an restart it to see if I would have the same luck I had the other night only when the car was not yet up to operating temp. After restarting it ran pretty good (at least as good as it normally has since I've had it and before the issues). My small dead-spot in my throttle went away and so did the jumpiness and idle surge. It still wasn't a super-smooth idle, but this car has never had a smooth idle since I've had it.

I'm about to leave work right now and I'm going to try to start it, shut it down, and restart it to see if it will act this way without driving it at all. I'm to the point now where the problem isn't really intermittent anymore so it's a little easier to do some testing and troubleshooting.

I don't know what any of this means yet because I haven't had time to really research it or even think about, but let me know if anybody has any thoughts or advice.
