Hi guys, This is a long story but I wanted to ensure the information was here. I'm also not up on trans and think my problem is within and not electrical.
I was out for a drive and came to a red light and the engine died like never before when heated up. I cranked it over for about min until it flashed, however I could tell something was wrong..IE bad idle like out of timing, shortage of fuel and bad RPM's.
I was only about a mile from home. The car would only let me go about 45 MPH about 2000 RPM (with 391 gears) NO more then that without stalling. If I tried she would die.
Backing down the driveway in reverse she did die and would not start up.
I first figured it was my electrical. I check all the following with swap outs: coil, modulator, B Resistor. (All are fine). Next I check my fuel system..OK.
When everything was back together, she reflashed and my idle was at 900 RPM and I could rev up to 4000 with just a little stumble, HOWEVER..every time I put her into "any" gear (not moving) including reverse she die's and I can't restart her for about four min. (like a pressure problem).
After about seven trys, I'm thinking somethings up with the (904) trans?? The trans itself is not making any strange noises (that I can tell). With the 391s I at times crouse about 65 MPH @ 3000 RPM and like to give her hell at times. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks, Jim
