    code was read days ago again, also about the air this problem started again when i was sitting in stand still traffic in a parking lot trying to get out for about 25 minutes with the air on. the car temp did get almost all the way up. not sure if this has anything to do with the high revs but it started right after this.

    ps the thermostat was changed and radiator was flushed abut 8 months ago

    Someone posted recently that they drive with the 'winter mode' switch on because of a similar rev issue. It doesn't fix the problem, it just makes it so you don't lunge towards the car stopped in front of you.

    Try to clean the following:

    IAC (idle air control)

    TPS (throttle position sensor)

    440 is tricky since it mirrors a 171. A 440 can sometimes be related to a vacuum leak as well, but you would at least expect a 171 to be thrown in that case. Strange, but cars are made by humans so they are flawed as well. :P

    Mine surges with the AC on. If I stop at a red light or something and the compressor kicks in and I'm not mashing hard enough on the brakes, it will move forward. A lot of times I'll slip it in to neutral while at a stop to prevent this.
