What did I do wrong?
Just completed UIM,LIM and water pump replacement on 2000 SE with 133000 miles.
The car now shifts really weird. At one time I was just over 3500rpm before it upshifted.
It also did not want to downshift when I go hard on the gas pedal. The check engine soon light also came on. Any clues? :?:

That is really odd, i do not see how the LIM and UIM could be related to transmission issues, im thinking that it may just be a coincidence.... get the code read for teh check engine light and report back with the proper code numbers and perhaps we can get you up and running smooth again
advance and autozone should both scan the codes for free

You guys rock!! I guess it was the TPS? I repositioned it before calling it a night.
When I started it this morning the check engine light had gone off and she idled and ran like a champ. But get this, I rechecked the coolant elbows and the rear one is showing signs of leaking.(I changed both elbows) I guess I'll be pulling the tensioner assembly again this weekend. Oh well, at least I'm learning how to work on my own car. Thanks for all of your help and ideas.

It smelled like a TPS connector. On the coolant elbow, it'* a best practice here lately to apply some rtv sealant to the o-rings during insertion. Wait thirty minutes before starting.
