Having problems with random kickdown from od to 3rd. Seems to happen the
most when at 1/4 throttle at 50 - 55 mph.
Happens only when warmed up and cruising. A/C doesn't seem to affect. Also
throttle surges 50 - 200 rpm with or without cruise on. I have a new TPS on
order from the dealer. Is there an aftermarket TPS available?
I have already adjusted kickdown band to 3 5/8 out from 72 in.# have changed
fluid w/ATF+3 and tested TPS with VOM. TPS seems accurate, but having
surging problems as related in FAQ. Have searched archives and no results.
Does anyone have any experiences with this problem?
TIA
