alright, it was shifting too early because the ignition timing was off 10 degrees, now it shifts perfect.

ill check the tps and see whats up with it.

ok, so i got a couple used solenoids today, put one in and the car shifts through all the gears fine, but it shifting at like 2k no matter how much gas i give it, it does this in power mode and normal. any ideas on where to start?

i have a jeep and toyota dealer in town, so maybe ill chick with them too.

i found out the some jeep cherokee's use the same transmission, but they call it an AW4. theres 4 of them in the local parts yard so hopefully ill have time to get the solenoid later today or tomorrow.

alright, got the number 1 solenoid out of the tranny, sure enough, it doesnt work. so im gunna try to get another one asap. thanks for all the help Ian.

external wiring is good, i unplugged the connector at the transmission and checked the wiring from there to the ect connecter. do solenoids wear out? is it possible mine is bad? or is it just a wiring problem?

so i can hear the #2 solenoid click but not the #1, there must be a fault in the wiring to it somewhere. i'm going to drain the transmission to check wiring to the solenoid. hopefully its an obvious fix.

i did get a better result, thank you. its show code 62 which is "Defective No1 solenoid of short circuit-severed wire harness or short circuit" so im going to test to see if i can even hear it click and if i can i guess im pulling off the tranny pan. thanks Ian for the guidance.

i bought an 87 non turbo auto car thats had this shifting problems ever since i got it. when you put it in "D" it will be in 3rd gear and wont downshift to 1st or 2nd on its own. if i drop it down to "L" it will go into first gear. in position "2" it will be in third gear. the overdrive...

badass, thanks for the link!

he did say it was a purple mkiv.

i second that motion, vids of the dyno for sure. looks good david!

i would take them to the machine shop you plan to have your engine work done at. they will tell you if the pistons will work or not. they are standard size tho, so if they have to bore, you will need bigger pistons.

thats badass! i love to ride in that thing.

my favorite mythbusters was when they were experimenting with thermite. god i love that shit.
