converter not locking when warm
converter not locking when warm I got my tranny temp gauge in, and I noticed that it will not lock if its over 150 degrees. So right when I get in the car after its been sitting, locks and unlocks perfect, but as soon as the temp goes over 150, it will not lock until it cools down. Any ideas?

It doesn't have to throw codes for it to not lock up with misfires. I would think tuning could solve your problem. Know anyone with a hp tuner cable for your model year that could help you out?

. And why would it misfire only after it gets to 150 degrees, and not before? It will always lock if its under 150. Sorry bro I was thinking you had a ls1. Not sure how the lt1 works. It may be that you are going into a closed loop mode at that temperature were it starts looking at misfire data. I would try to talk to a auto tranny shop to see what they think. Maybe call the company that you got the converter from.
