Im having a problem with what feels like surges in my lasabre. When i drive at highway speeds and the engine is warmed up it tends to feel like my engine is surging. It seems like a very common problem with these cars, but I cant find a definite answer to fix it. I took it in to a couple shops and they all said its hard to pinpoint it because the check engine light isn't on. (they all told me different possible solutions from spark plugs to oxygen sensor to fuel pump to engine coolant temperature sensor and so on.
here are some examples of the almost exact same problem Ive been having:
please help :(

While having a SES light on can help point you in the right direction, it's not a must to check out a car. If you can get the car to act up on a fairly regular basis at consistant set of parameters (speed, load , etc) you should be able to track down the problem. Now if the car won't "do it" when its at the shop, it get way harder, not impossible but in a lot of cases, it would be cheaper for you to bring it back when it's failing regularly...
One thing you can do, if there are some maintentance things you haven't done, now would be a good time to do them (it's something that needs to be done regardless of how the car is running) Plugs, wires, fuel filter, overdue maintenance items that could cause the probem you are having...........
