So started up my car today, when down the road about half mile, and my car shuts off on me and the trans light pops up. Then about 10-15miles later is shuts off again. There was no fourth gear as well.

The day before, it ran a real high idle, after getting off the highway. i would let off the gas and the car would go down the road shifting gears without me even touching the gas. After a while the idle would settle down.

Went to go scan it, and no codes and the light isnt on.

Any ideas?

so i pulled some codes,

found:

MAF sensor, so i cleaned that, 2 o2 sensors and a TPS.

Anyone got ideas on finding a "cheaper" tps sensor.

could this affect the trans?

thanks again,

Reggie

 

Just out of curiosity try this (I had a similar problem with the TPS). Disconnect the battery for 15 minutes then reconnect it again. Doing this does a few things:
-Clears codes that really don't need to be there but popped up anyway
-Resets the computers on board
Granted you will have to re do your radio stations and clock but if it clears it, no problem right?

As for finding a cheap TPS sensor (if this doesn't work), I would suggest maybe finding a junk yard or something cause those pups seem to run close to 2 bills.
