Default kickdown

it did a search and couldn't find an answer that appleyed to my car.
anyway I have an 01 WS6 tuned with hp tunners, no stall never been in the tranny (except for maintenance) once in a while I will go to puch it and the tranny doesn't kickdown or even come out of lock up, the rpm's don't shoot up or anything, and when it does this I notice that when i take off from a stop it shifts like its on a time schedule it doesn't matter how gas i give it. it throws no codes and when it does this if i drive down the freeway for a couple of miles it goes away. whats up??

You have gears in there? I've seen some cars act weird after a gear swap and require some manual adjustments to the upshift/downshift tables to behave right. But this is pretty consistent, not a rare ocurance type problem.

Even though its not throwing a code sounds like the TPS (THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR )mAY BE THE culprit

I had gears and went back to stock 3.23 It acted like it didn't want to go back. it throw a code for the tps sensor (goes on comes) but someone said thats because of the cam. I am going to go back to the tunner because I know how to get rid of the TPS problem.

I dont think the code for tps would set for a cam I would replace the TPS and you should be good to go , A tps code only sets when the sensor is out of range
