After driving the vehicle for a short time about the time it's at operating temperture I start feeling a slight surging while pulling a grade. At times the car will stumble while accelerating from a stop just before reaching full operating temperature. Once the temp is up it runs like a scared rabbit.

Hi goodrunner,

I would suggest cleaning the throttle body and IAC checking the spark plugs and related items.
