You sure the tranny isn't downshifting?

If that's what's happening, it's getting right to where it should downshift,
and doesn't. It's like the whole car wants to surge forward over and over
and over until you reach the top of the incline or hill, and then it's stops
doing it. I'd don't think it's trying to downshift, but I could be wrong.

This can be caused by a partly clogged fuel filter. You might also see if
there are any trouble codes stored in the computer.

Code stored for EGR value, can't remember the exact code number, but I do
believe (best I can remember) it was for spindle not closed or something
like that. Guess I'll change the EGR valve out and the fuel filter and see
what develops. From the way it acts, it very well could be the EGR that's
causing it. Was just wondering if it was a common problem with the 3100 and
someone knew for sure what causes it.
