Default Help need to pass emissions!!!

Hi everybody, i have a bad *** Camaro my fourth one and the last one hopefully! first two were '94 green & red 2.6l, third was a awesome black '96 z28 and now i finally flebayed a sweet '02 ss clone. Drove all the way from nj to va no codes, started spanking people around here and bam threw 3 codes. I have to get this thing past emissions insp on Monday please oh great ls1 owners i need help. Its got a custom tune/reflash of the pcm and it has a 3200 stall converter with a trans cooler. This is what it does, it sometimes gets stuck in third gear and wont shift in overdrive, and it has a hard time holding its idle at 900rpm if i cut the wheel or hit the ac it stalls out mostly on cold starts?

p0106 - MAP/BARO CKT Rang/Perf

p0757 - Shift Solenoid B Circuit Stuck On

p0757 - Shift Solenoid B Circuit Stuck On (Pending)

i was thinking of flushing the trans fluid because i read that clutch debres clogs valve body passages and cleaning the maf w/gum cutter and the k&n filter it has a ss functional hood, any suggestions would be awesome!

P0757 is because of the stall, it needs to be turned off in the tune. That's what is causing the shifting problems.

And the P0106 sounds like a bad MAP sensor. Which would cause the idle and dying issues.

Yeah the after the code is set for one of the shift solenoids it just holds it in gear as a limp home kinda thing. It also keeps it from locking the converter, so don't drive to far like that or you could possibly end up overheating the trans.

Not sure what you're asking about the map sensor. I think you can get them at any parts store for $50-60 bucks. They're on the back of the intake. I would just reach back there and make sure it's connected good and secure in the hole.

I just saw in your sig that you have a cam. Is it very big? If so it's possible that the P0106 could be in the tune as well. How long did you drive it before you set the code and how often does it come back on after you clear the codes?

the p0106 comes on almost everyday, the trans code is intermittent if i baby it sometimes its like 2-3 days before i see the p0757. This is the kicker i don't know who tuned it or what kind of cam it has the guy i got it from got it wrecked with most of the add ons. The car has 18,000 original miles, he pretty much just did all the body work it was crumpled in about a foot, never touched the tires or cradle. he had it reinspected so it has a salvage history. i will check the entire vacuum system tomorrow morning. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge really cool of you man!
