clean your maf? have you done that...

mmmmm...

also- for the coolant thing- do you have aluminum intake manifold gaskets or plastic... if they aren't aluminum. they should be sooner than later.

 

[02FireGT]

easy fix.

 

[Yaj Yak]

LIM gaskets are easy... mike helped me do mine one of the times haha... not bad at all.

 

[02FireGT]

awesome... I will be cleaning them today. Thanks. Where did you get your LIM gaskets? the zone or somewhere SPECIIAAALLL?!

 

[02FireGT]

What if I've cleaned these and it still does it?... trans issue?

 

[Yaj Yak]

we will have to meet up this coming weekend- ill check it out.

 

[02FireGT]

yeah... now after being driven for an hour the trans if shifting awful... I think it's gonna go...=(... where to get a good one? cheap?

 

[02FireGT]

Could this be something electrical? It seems to not be able to find where to shift itself....

 

[02FireGT]

i jus read about the PCM... I'm thinking that may need to be replaced?

 

[Handsome Jesus]

it could be some loose connections to the PCM? I know that at one point my car had some problems because of that. wiggle the wires going into it a little bit, make sure the connections are alright...

Transmissions are gay. Hopefully that isnt it...

Checked the fluid in the trans? that could tell you a lot...

 

[02FireGT]

fluid is full and clean... goin to have her up in the air 2nite...

 

[Yaj Yak]

is it throwing any codes?

my car was driving goofy when its tps went out...

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

fluid is full and clean... goin to have her up in the air 2nite...

smell it if it has a burnt odor to it....since the fluid is new a taste test wont tell ya much...

Now the past 6 weeks... after driving about 2 hours or so, from about 5mph-20mph it stutters... at light acceleration only, as if it had the feeling it wanted to die or struggle getting up to it... with half accel it goes fine and same at full, but from barely pushing pedal down to almost half it blubs it...

sounds like a misfire at low rpm/lugging the engine, also tps sensors fail at the bottom 1/3 of the travel since thats where the sensor trace is swept most often...breaks in the carbon track commonly occure here and can result in a glitch wreaking havok with the pcm.

my advice is to start with the cheepest possibility thats most probable....TPS followed by the possible missfire issue

 

[02FireGT]

well we had her up in the air today and it was the valve body a sensor and needs some gaskets...

so pretty much the trans lol... damn it.

 

[02FireGT]

def. was the valve body and a sensor, runs much better now!

 

[Yaj Yak]

thank goodness!

 

[02FireGT]

yep, back in love with her again. Did a full detail (10 hours) on her when I got her back. Love drivin her again!

 

[Eagle]

How bad was it to swap out that sensor?
