    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.
