You have never used it before?

 

[Yaj Yak]

no i use it, i just dont know where to look to see where the tcc is hooking up, ive really never looked, itd seriously prolly take 5 minutes of my time to figure it out though.

It's a status bit I'm sure. You'll have to add it into the scanner to check it.

J - All you need to check is the TCC% (torque converter clutch) PID in PT (not sure in HPT). When it is above 0%, you are in lock-up. Typically under cruise I believe it will be around 45% or greater.

This might be helpful as well:

HTH (I'm super busy as of late otherwise I wouldn't mind meeting up to check it out and get caught up.)

This is what Matt from ZZP said a while back:

If you know someone with a Tech 2 or Snap On scanner, you could use it to try to lock the converter on the highway. If it still doesn't lock, then the problem is in the trans or wiring. If it locks with the scanner, then the problem is in the PCM.

o i can make it lock im pretty sure, yeah, i see how to do that...

Sweet.....I definitly need your help. Need to get this trans temp under control before I have to buy #3.

I'll send you a PM later with my #. I had yours but not sure what I did with it.


Tommy - I'm down almost anytime to catch up and drink some soda pops.

Well it might be a little longer because the bitch is still on her period. Took the car to work today and noticed a little blood on the garage floor again.

I thought it was the oil filter adapter gasket....but I guess not (got to be the front cover gasket or oil pan gasket....not sure what else it could be). Need to find the problem and get a big enough tampon for her to stop leaking.

I'll get in touch with you KJ and phat once I get it back on the road again. Gonna start tearing her apart again this weekend, unless we find it to be something else.

howd the oil feed line plumbing go? any chance it's pissing through the oil pressure sender? (i'm assuming yer talking about the engine oil...unplug it and look for oil inside the connector)

Ya, it's oil because I was about a 1/2 quart below this morning. I will definitly check it before I start the surgery.

Thanks for the sugestion!

yesss funny as hell too... stock ve table and the maf scaled up 40%
according to the log your ltft's are pulling down below 5khz and adding up top just over +8. trans temps seemed to rise after the prolonged lockups...your tcc isnt slipping but it's set to factory engaugment rates and thats why it takes so long to lockup i'd say to jack it up so it feels more like your shifting into a 5th gear, the way you were driving it was going into and out of lockup alot.

thats what i said....

 

[phat_ridegt]

oil pan gasket causing a big puddle? wow must be leaking pretty bad...did you use gm silcone on both sides of it? either way, make sure you do this time...
