Hi guys,
Hopefully you can help me determine my problem. For some reason, when I've been driving for a while, roughly an hour or so, the transmission seems to loss power. So what happens, I'll be driving in the city and when I begin to stop for a red light, it vibrates like hell, and BAM, it stalls (automatic tranny, btw). Ok, put it neutral and re-try. Starts completely fine. Put it in drive, stalls. Retry. Stalls again in drive. In neutral, if you press on the gas and rev it up a bit, it seems to work and the car will go again. It's a strange thing. I also noticed that when I feel it start to feel it stall, i can put it in neutral and its totally fine. Once its in drive, it'll stall usually. I checked all the fluids, and yadda yadda yadda. It's a fairly new transmission, it only had over 2,000 km's on it, before the dealer had dropped it and broke the case, so i bought it for $100 for the internal gears and rebuilt it with my father.
It's been a year and some, and this is the first time I'm starting to have problems with it. I dont even know if its the transmission, maybe the fuel pump? If I run the diagnostic test by jumping those two nodes with wire, will it show if the fuel pump is going or do I have to pressure test it? Any other ideas on this?
Hopefully you guys can help me out.
Thanks alot
Patrick

Sounds like you tcc, pop you hood, look down to your right on your tranny there should be a wire harness going into the tranny, unplug that and then try driving. if it goes away then its you tcc solenoid, and this link will help you.

DITTO! One of my favorite repairs. My 94 2.2 has been unplugged for two years now. Still going strong, and I did not notice any drop in MPG. I drive 30 miles to work so if anyone should have noticed a difference it would have been me. Lets just say I am against the "TCC Solenoid" :-)
