Chris,

The fact that you are only seeing the symptoms you
describe at a steady highway speed after 1 hour of
driving indicates to me that you are experiencing
the same hesitation problem that is fixed by the
harness sold by VW ($100 + dollars) or fixed with
a 22uf capacitor ($1.50) and with some soldering
know-how, you can fix it yourself.  Check the archives
for details.
