Man, you took out your heater? I live in South Florida and I STILL wouldn't do that. But then again, I'm a wuss when it comes to the cold. Specially when getting in a freezing cold car. <P>I hate heat too and I couldn't live without A/C, but at least I could open the windows to help somewhat when the car's moving.

I have the exact same symptoms and I pulled a code 17 and 24 (and 5 but thats unrelated I think) 17 and 24 are for the o2 sensor, left and right o2 inversion....which I think means they are no good. did you jump the diagnostic to get the codes?
