Odd TC lock up issue... Since the cam install, my TC lock-up is intermittent. Truth be told, I like it better unlocked at speeds below 50mph, but I would like it to lock up on the expressway. It seems that it will only lock when it feels like it. I’m sure it has to do with misfires or something, but what I can’t understand is why it’s intermittent? Why doesn’t it just stay unlocked? What makes it suddenly start locking up sometimes? Sometimes it will work fine for miles, then suddenly stop <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
My PCM has been tuned, and I understand from some that if I use LS1 edit to change the misfire temp readings to like 139/140 that it will start locking up. At this time I don’t have Edit, and I’m not entirely sure that this is the issue since it’s intermittent. Oh, and my Ltrims are fine so I don’t think that’s it either, and I have a totally stock MAF. It also seems that the tranny tends to lock better when it’s above 180 (I have a deep truck pan and B&M cooler plus cooler fan settings that keep the tranny around the 170 range most of the time).
So I guess what I’m asking is, are other cammed cars just having an intermittent issue, or is it all the time? I have a B1, BTW, and a SY3500 ‘verter that locked up just fine prior to the cam.
Oh, one other thing...is it hurting the 'verter in any way to not be locking? Just wondering...
