Now what ?

well my D4 in the cluster was flashing, so i pulled out the codes for the tranny. i got 1,2 and 8 which are the lock-up solenoids (codes 1 and 2), and the shift solenoid (code 8). Well i looked in the mitchel repair manuals and tested the solenoids. They passed all the tests, the resistance test and the current test. Why did i get the codes in the first place ? Should i jusr reset the ATCU and leave it like that ? The car is running in safe mode right now

well i'm thinking about running out and buy some electical connector cleaner, and then i'll reset the ecu and check the other things described in the mitchell manual.

I honestly don't know much about the auto trannys, but I think you're on the right track. Clean solenoids, etc. before you spend big bucks taking it to a dealer.

i just reset the ECU, cleaned the contacts, put everything back toghether, the car shifts nicely, thou it hesitates a bit, but the codes are not cleared at all. ouch. any other ideas ? i'm thinking about some wireing issues or something

i finally fixed it. it runs so smooth i fell in love with it again. what i did was to rev the engine in every gear till 5000 rpm, and as soon as i shut it off i removed the plug. needless to say how muvh shavings i got off of it.

OT: anyone knows the specs for adjusting valves and timing ? that's the only thing i have left before the car is a champ again

Congrats on getting everything fixed! I know how nice it is to fix a problem, but I don't usually have the skills to fix stuff myself :no: You seem to know your stuff though :bow:
