The engine is running better and better each drive. I think The wrong shift solenoid (or however you spell it) got changed. Im still having trans problems. It dosnt want to down shift when I hit it around 30 and its not shifting into 4th. Im doing 60 and Im at like 2400 rpms I think in going to open the trans today.

Anything I should look for??????

It might be relearning your driving habits. Will it shift at all into 4th? Like 70-75mph then back off of the pedal?

You could always try disconnecting the battery for a while to reset the ECU. Probably isn't the problem but couldn't hurt to try it.

Tried disconnecting the batt. but its throwing the same code that it did before. I think Im going to try to do it myself. Anyway I had most of the day off (woohoo) so I took alll the trim off, painted the mirrors and smoked my lights. It looks so bad ***!!!!!! Now I want wheels real bad!!

Well My motor is running great except for the trans. I fond out I dont have 1st gear thats why I cant power brake and why it dosent down shift when I hit it around 30. I going to try the easy stuff first like checking the connectors and all. If its all good im going to change the solenoid.

Man that sucks. Good luck with it. Atleast you make the money to get it fixed. If my tranny went I'd be walkin!
