I have found this site to be very helpful. http://techauto.awardspace.com/transmission.html

Going to pull a part to pull a TCU.

c92blx7 said replace tcu, which i believe is 'transmission control unit'. anyone wanna confirm this?

yes.tcu means transmission control unit.and how long is it bogging?my car was doing this and i played with the idle adjustment screw and it purrs liek a kitten.....also.i cleaned out my iac valve and got new plugs/wires...try that it ran alot smoother afterwards

Don't make a habit of switching from 1. It makes your transmission last longer if you don't shift it like a manual. But yea it does suck. I'm about to leave now.

It bogs when I first take off, and if I don't keep on the gas on the highway it goes down fast, then I have to hit it extra harder to get to the speed I want. It just doesn't want to go.

Just cleaned my IACV, it was pretty clean. But then I checked my wires. One of them has oil down in there, on the sparkplug i'm guessing. So I guess I need new wires, and plugs. Causing it to misfire? Do I have a connection there, with it hesitating and having acceleration issues? I haven't changed the fuel filter since I have had the car.


**Actually, all of my sparkplugs & Wires have oil on them. Valve Cover Gasket??

K guys, bought a Valve Gasket, some NGK VPower, and a fuel filter. Let you know how it goes.

Yea. I shouldn't have bought a FelPro Gasket. Those things suck! But anyways from me having lack of sleep, I accidentaly broke the head stud. Thank God, I have another head. I'm taking a break it's quite hot out there. Do you think I'm fixing the right problem that is causing the hesititation?

my car hesitated horribly..like i would stomp it and it'd take almost 3 seconds to kick.i clean'd the iac,got new plugs and wires and its purring like a kitten

[cleanwithit0607]

Ok Guys, I'm depresed. I got the plugwires, plugs, fuel filter installed. Cleaned IACV. Same old crap.

-When I go in Reverse it has all the power in the world.

-When I put it in 1st and 2nd, it's great.

-When I put it in D3 and D4, Crap!

-When I manually shift 1,2,3,4 it's fabolous(as I'm driving.)

Do you guys think I'm dealing with a bad transmission?

Here's what it is doing once again.

I start from a stop, hit the gas. Atleast a 2 second delay while revving. Then it goes.

So fellows, My dad thinks it's a TCU or a Solenoid, what do you guys think?
