Bill, I think you're probably right about the TM, especially if it happens when coasting. Keep plugging away!

In closed loop mode that is not an issue, the PCM will read the O2 sensor and correct the fuel. You'll see that in the STFT and eventually the LTFT.

If either the torque converter is locked under light throttle or you're decelerating, then other PCM parameters may be a factor.

When you do your scan, add the TCC duty cycle to the items I listed before.

Cheers,
Now he tells me. Think I found the source of the knock. Motor revs and transmission does nothing. Some noise from the trans.. but no movement at all.

Fluid is up to level, clean....looks absolutely like it'* the fluid of a new transmission with 4,000 miles on it.

Pat and I were out driving.. getting a confidence feeling in the motor, I was planning on driving 120 miles tomorrow morning. Got off the highway, came to a light and got free revving. Pushed off the road, checked the fluid which looks great.

Thinking maybe this was the low throttle KR. Got 4 scans tonight.

Looks like the car might sit out during NEBF :(

Hey Paul.. Earlier in this thread you said you had the same symptoms. If that'* true..you've just read some bad news for your tranmissions future.

Good heavens Booster man, sorry to hear of yet more trouble. As odd as it seems, maybe now is a good time to buy a lottery ticket!

Cheers,

Were you able to get the car going again after you pushed it off the road? ie after it cooled down some?

Ditto on the lotto ticket, lucks gotta turn around on you sooner or later.

Car is home now. Odd thing is on the Aeroforce was trans temp and kr. I was showing Pat how nice and cool the trans runs. It ran up to 180 and stayed there in 64F weather. Seemed a little odd..

Not following you there boosty.
You drove the car home?
The trans temps were good then shot up to 180?

Now this sounds like what happened to me in Wahington 2 summers ago, only difference was my fluid was burnt bad. Let it cool and limped to driverjohns for some tlc.
