I drive the truck to the gym...its fine. I drive it home home from the gym and no O/D! Weird...The trans was very cool at the time as well. Any thoughts?

 

does it lock in 3rd? or do u not get lockup as well?...sounds like it could be ur TPS or equivalent on the 24 valve

 

Does your lockup switch work?

 

Its actuallt off right now but it does not fell like it locking up in the first place. What is the TPS? throttle postioning sensor?

 

I just disconnected both batteries then let it sit for awile. Drove it 30 min later and nothing changed. Now I am going to clean my batteries connecttions. The sensor that is on the side of my overdrive also has some oil on it. I was going to clean that off as well. Any other suggestions? I need this thing to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Check your OD relay in the underhood relay/fuse load center; replace with known good relay from something else (wiper motor, etc), test drive and buy new one if problem solved.

 

I just put the wiper motor relay on the trans one to no avail...what step is next? My battery is super clean, relay is fine and my wiring seems to be ok.

 

noboby else had this problem?

 

it is your TPS or whatever its called on the 24 valves...i think its APPS..throttle position sensor...there' are adjustment procedures for it...it is a common thing...do a search on it..there's tons of info..worst case u would have to buy one but lest hope not...ut should be on the drivers side near the pump..little box type of thing

 

basically due to vibration adn noise the engine produces the sensro goes out of wack is my understanding....i had the TPS take a dump on me 2 years ago in my truck...there are noise filters out there from various vendors...taking the wires that lead to the sensor out of the loom has helped many and adjustign the voltage.....and ofcourse cleaning all terminals and connections
