Heads, cam, headers, pulley, the normal stuff. I don't understand it. The lock up tables are good. misfires are gone. Here is the 4th apply........

37 37 37 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 255 255 255 255

H/C 346, built trans, 3.73 12 bolt, tuned, missfire detection is disabled. no codes.

If you cruise around 45-50mph it locked up but once you hit highway speeds 60mph + it unlocks and stays unlocked. Have experminted with stock and modified lockup tables.

Could it be a TPS sensor code making it not lock up?

what about the release? I asume it is less than the apply?

By misfires being gone, I assume you mean the code is programmed off?

misfires being gone by enable and disable temp being set 1* apart.

Problem should be solved though. A TPS code was present. P0121. It even prevented the car from being racable at the track. cleared the code and it locked up and shifted properly. Its a ported tb, I need to check the tps voltage and see whats causing the code.

edit: nope still not locking in 4th
