• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Randomly cutting out



They checked all of that coolone, I stood and watched them. They think TC or clutch issues.

Dan, I'm going to try and get It into Expert this week since they were closed today. Upon diagnosis I will let ya know.
 
Maybe two separate issues then because a trans problem would have nothing to do with hard starts.... Best of luck
 
It stopped the hard starting when I cleaned the icm, smoothed it out too.
They were as stumped as I was today. Cars making it very difficult.

Idk what to think of it.
If it should happen to be the TC, does that require full trans removal to replace?

Depends, if it's the switch you can just remove the side pan. If it's the actual converter you'll have to dig into the trans.

Try going like up a hill with barely any throttle. Before the TC locks up if it is your issue this would generally be an easy way to possibly replicate it. I had that problem before, warrantied it, doing it now, no warranty. The TC is not properly locking up hence where the bucking/RPM fluctuations come from. Going on flat land might do it, but going up a hill with very light throttle at highway speeds or ~50ish may start it to act up.
 


It does it on flat ground most of the time but if going up an incline you can defiantly feel it struggle like you mention. Hills are hard to find around here unless i go out of my travel route. I'm going to stop by the transmission shop in town tomorrow after work if I get off in time.

Not looking forward to it all that much.
 
Sounds a lot more like it's ignition related to me. Reason 1 is a trans will never make an engine tough to start. Reason 2 you have engine related (ignition type) codes. These 3800 when they get pissy like your description it's often ignition related

Want me to tell you a story about me swapping my trans at 186K only to find out I had a bad coil that wouldn't show up any other way.

Buzz on over to Dan's and his wife will gladly unload parts from the garage w/o his knowing. Toss on the coils and ICM. Then do plugs and wires if the issue persists. If that doesn't work.. feed it a little chocolate, that usually calms down most females.
 
I never did put yours in Dan, I just cleaned mine. Didn't get around to swapping them again yet because I figured it was more serious.

Slap my hand, I did bad.

I'll clean them again and swap out after work and do a test drive.
 




Lee told me that this morning too. They look ok at the plug, but could be broken and i not see it. I'll pull the loome off and look later. At least I have a warrantied maf now to exchange if needed.
 
is the code your getting the low voltage one?

take the loom off, then try bending the plug back at the end of the wires to see if theres any cracks where the wires enter the plug. or along the rest of the wires.
