Yes, I have searched, and gone through many threads.
My problem is that when driving, my 1992 Xj with 4.0/AW4 will shift into overdrive and lock the torque converter at about 45mph, making it very hard to accelerate, and bogging the engine at about 1400 rpms. It will only downshift if I give it past 2/3 throttle, or put the shifter into "3".
When freeway driving (75mph), and I encounter a hill, It will bog down and then shift after giving it a lot of throttle, I will jump from about 2300 rpms to 3500 rpms, and will keep jumping back and forth, this really heats up my trans (I have a gauge). So I just tend to leave it in 3, a little over 3k rpms.
One other problem, is that when cold, if I give the engine throttle, it keeps the rpms up for a few seconds. If I were to raise the rpms to 1500, it would stay there for about 5-8 seconds, like the throttle is sticking.
Last but not least, once in a while if I let off the throttle when driving, the vehicle seems to be set on cruise control, and doesnt deccelerate, until I put the brakes on.
Is this possibly a TPS problem? Should I go buy a multi-meter to test it with? What type of meter do you reccomend?
Thanks
