Yes to the shifting problem post. I solved it recently, I think (can't these things too loud as there are jeeps nearby, :laugh2 with the transmission to throttle body cable adjustment. That transmission throttle body cable adjustment made a HUGE difference in the shift points, power, etc.clunk said:I would just say your TPS is wonky. Didn't you post about a shifting problem a while back? It seems the TPS would cause the same idle problems you are having now, as well as the shfiting problem.
I wouldn't be surprised if, when you cleaned the grounds next to the oil dipstick that you got a higher voltage on the TPS, and this threw off your adjustments. Go back, test the voltage and see if it changed anything. If it did, make the necessary adjustments. I've been meaning to get around to cleaning those ground wires but they are a bit of a pain to get to so I have been putting it off.
I agree my fixing the ground connections, probably unfixed the 0.80 volt idle setting on the TPS!:tears: But what is wierd is the malfunctioning idle (trying to run too fast) went away for 2 days and 100 miles after I fixed those ground connections, and then just returned after two days of flawless operation.:wierd:
I understand the putting it off on cleaning that ground area, it is a pain. Planed it for 3 months myself before I got a ROUNDTOIT!:roll:
Thanks for feedback. I am planning to test and adjust the TPS idle back to 0.80 volts this weekend, if not sooner. At least that is easy to do.
