Stall Coverter problems?
Stall Coverter problems? I have a 97 T/A with a 94 OBDI PCM.
I've heard of this being refered to as a "Stall Wall"??? I know it has to do with an OBDI PCM. My car runns aswome with the 3500 stall, but if I launch really hard on slicks it bangs the rev limiter in 1st, skips 2nd gear, and goes directly into 3rd and then goes into limp home mode?
I have Tuner C.A.T.S. and if it is capable of being edited out, I can do it, its just the means of me figuring out what to turn off, or cut out? I can't remember if it throws a code or not, but I can't (or havent had a chance) to read what if any code it is throwing cuz when I turn the car off and back on it works fine?
Any input would be helping me out greatly!

Ed Wright, Bryan Herter, and a Few other guys ( i keep forgetting the name of the one tuner on the board) keep that fix a well guarded secret.. I remember it having to deal w/ the car thinking it's going faster than it really is (TPS related) so it throws her into limp mode. I believe a conversion to OBD-2 is a fix, but the guys mentioned above know how to fix it. Byran's original fix won't let you downshift into 1st gear from a roll anymore, but a friend recently said he's tweaked things so you can again..

Cool...I'd like to know how to program it out of my OBD1 computer b/c my tuning software is for OBD1. I would rather not buy a 150$+ program if I don't have to. Although I do have the 97 PCM.
If they don't want to post up their "secrets" shoot me a PM please.

I went to the track last night, but no luck on triping the code. Couldn't get enough traction. Best 60' I got was 1.83. It usually happens around the 1.7's range.
