You said EVERY car you had driven with OD. Not most or some, but EVERY. If I said that, it would be a large group and it sounds like it would be for you too. I have owned alot of cars too that have OD.
This HHR is the ONLY car I have driven that does this. Maybe all HHRs do it, Idon't know. But it just doesn't seem right to me.

Wrong post for this but give this one time and it'll fit.
These posts get so side tracked it's amazing. The OP has not responded since the first post and I think we changed subjects at least twice.
Oh well, life goes on.

"Operating temperature" is when the O2 sensors are ready, not when the coolant reaches a certain temperature. Usually very near the same, especially when you know that the important temp in HHR is 158F not 180F.
What part of "that I have driven with OD" is not clear? That is pretty narrow definition. I did not say "All cars with a transmission". My Mazda does it, several Toyotas I have driven do it. a Nissan did it and both HHRs I have owned did it. It is because there is a clutch in the torque converter involved.

I guess a few truck with 5 speeds might qualify as OD, but they didn't have torque converters.

I checked my MAF sensor by reading the live data on my OBDII scanner. It was not as responsive as I thought it should be, so I changed the MAF sensor. I drove it last night after I changed it and it seemed to help and I was hopeful. This morning on my way to work, it is doing it again. Maybe not as severe as before. Maybe its just wishful thinking on my part.
Here is a YT video showing the issue.

Torque converter seems to be locking/unlocking. Run a scanner and check the transmission and TC functions.
I chased that same thing on my Dodge truck for 5 years ! Grounds, speed sensor, TPS, new alternator replaced . Nothing worked. Mine finally fixed itself 6 months ago. Weird.
