man i'm so mad i could kick my self in the ass
then i had to make a few runs and the second run.
she was shifting right.
she shift from 1st-4th gear.

so i figured man the t/v cable came loose.
checked it: was fine
so then it dawned on me....the screens were clogged.
this morning i took of the shift solenoids and the screens....were i LITTLE dirty
(which IS VERY SURPRISING AND MADE ME HAPPY)
so i cleaqned them anyway and i cleaned the inside of the solenoids.

no change

now here comes my dumbass starts the car while the ecu and alt fuse were dissconected.
then while the car was on i put the fuses in.
so the batt. light/s3/ anti-lock light was on.
...reset the ecu

now only the s3 light flashes...giving out code one.
i tested all the solenoids and all of them are in specs (12-20ohms )
replaced the shifter solenoids.

it shifts through all gears but does'nt lock...
what happened???????


oh yea...i remember something
when i was testing the shift noids, i wanted to check up on the specs of the lock-up noids.

i had one lead (useing my dvom )the harness that goes to the transmission control unit and the other lead on the negative battery post...
but that was by accident.....

okay here's an update....

i went back and tested for continuity to see if the tcu circuit is complete
i had one lead on the body and one on the harness
on one circuit i get a reading...but not the beep.

and the other circuit (which i'm sure i used when i used the battery)
did'nt give me a reading at all.

i repeated the steps on the solenoids...even jumped them with the battery....a VERY strong click.....
