Oh my, well I need help because my car has stopped working again. I read some of the other discussions and they pertain to my vehicle. The dealership never knows what wrong. Right now it revs when in neutral (that is how i use to get through stop lights and signs) but when i put it in drive it just dies. Do you have any suggestions on what might be wrong? We have already had alot of work done on it about 4 months ago.(replaced computer, gas tank, and others I can't remember)

Replying to: hth04 (Apr 01, 2009 1:49 pm) ..you mean it stalls at a red light just like a manual when you would stop without depressing the clutch..??....I suppose it does not happen just when you start with the car initially, but just after you have driven it for a little while...please confirm and add details if my interpretation is incorrect. THis would be a symptom of stuck Torque converter clutch...(TCC). One way to test it is to disconnect the TCC signal so it does not apply . This would mean disconnecting the BLU/BLK wire from the transmission connector (pin 2). If this makes the symptom disappears, then you have a problem within transmission, most probably the TCC solenoid. you can choose to run without TCC for as long as you want, there is no problem other than a slight fuel burn penalty...and the check engine light coming ON. Report findings.
