WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS GETTING INSPECTED, THE ENGINE IDLED ERRATICALLY. THE DEALER SUSPECTED THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFECTIVE DME MAIN COMPUTER. SINCE THE VEHICLE RAN WELL AFTER WARMING UP, THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE REPAIR WORK. THE VEHICLE SURGED DRAMATICALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS COLD AND CAUSED THE CONSUMER'S WIFE TO RAM INTO THEIR OTHER VEHICLE AND CAUSED DAMAGES TO BOTH. SCC *NLM
