Ok so here is what I know. The reason that the truck has a 1992 TBI swap and not a 1994, is because (Doug, the previous owner) Didn't want to switch out the tranny. Probably due to more electronic issues. To my knowledge the 700r was used up until 1992, so that is why he purchased the 92 TBI create motor which would use the same TC. Up until about a year ago, the tranny had not been touched other than a shift kit, and had about 300k miles on it, being the only part of the drive-train that had not been rebuilt. Obviously with that many miles it was bound to go out and it did about a year ago. The truck sat around for a few months, then I took it to a local tranny shop and they rebuilt it, and put a shift kit in. Ever since I got it back about 8 months ago it has been having this issue and I had not done any research on the TV cable.... All I knew is, that if hooked up wrong, it would burn up my clutches very fast, so I never ****** with it. I always thought this was how the "new" tranny drove and never really worried about it until one day I threw a diagnostic code which turned out to be the knock sensor.
After driving the truck tonight when I adjusted my TV cable according to that amazing link HRPC gave me, The truck drives completely better.. 1-2 at 20mph 2-3 at 30mph and 3-4 right at 40mph. It even down-shifts perfect now with no issues yet!!!! So I do not believe there is anything wrong with the tranny what-so-ever. Just the TV cable was adjusted improperly in the first place which I had already suspected, but just trusted the mechanic at the tranny shop knew what he was doing.... Guess that was a failure.
Whats concerning me now, is the fact that the CEL pops on when ever I get on the throttle at all and the truck goes into a limp mode.. It did this BEFORE I installed the spacer as well. Every time I retrieve the code, it is always the knock sensor... I replaced the knock sensor, and it effected nothing, still threw a code. I inspected the wire and everything seems to be fine. So why does the CEL keep coming and why does the truck keep going into limp mode every time I go about 3/4 throttle?????? Could this be a computer malfuntion or is there something mechanically wrong with the engine? I have never heard it knock or ping AT ALL. So what could be tripping the sensor?
This all started after the guys at the tranny shop improperly adjusted my TV cable and the first time the light ever came on was a few months later when I down shifted to pass another car
