Default just got back from first drive...

WOW. i have it just open headers with 18" extensions to save the o2's for now tds are in the future tho. well i took it to autozone to get codes scanned and i have a few probs. first- i am not showing a code for rear o2s but i have no sims in????? second i show code for coolant temp sensor. where is this? never showed this code before and third- 3/4 shift solenoid code. i had trouble getting the sensor wire back on when i was putting the tranny back in the car( fresh rebuild) but i think i can figure that one out. the car is fing nuts tho. so loud and with the fresh rebuild i loose traction going into 3rd again...been so long.

Don't have the exact numbers on me but the PCM will test the rear 02's under certain conditions. Don't worry you'll see the SES light soon.

Yea, I drove for a while with no rear o2s and the SES light never came on. The coolant temp. sensor is on the driver side head at the front.

Yep coolant sensor is right next to plug # 1, almost in the way when you try and swap plugs.

welli looked under the hood and the cts was unplugged. so i plugged it back in. as for the 3/4 shift sol. it shifts 3/4 fine. the sensor is pluged in but the " lock" would not lock so maybe that has somthing to do with less voltage?
