Ya, a bad MAP could cause those problems. That sensor tells the PCM what the outside pressure is and helps set the AFR. I don't have a test for it in tech info, but you would need a vacuum source and then read the voltage from the sensor.

Don't forget Dan, we have different "flavors" of 4T60-E'*. That donor trans could have come out of a minivan for all we know. Only way to find out if he has the "right" one for his particular car is to verify the model from the tag on the backside of the trans.

You would have to raise the front of the car off the ground, ie ramps or jacks. Crawl underneath and look up between the firewall and the trans. You will see a metal tag. Look for a number that says something like 4BXW. It always starts with a number and letters. It could start with a 7 also.
