It's too hard to have a broke down truck sitting there staring at you... Expecially if it's an IDI
I posted awile back about a $300 someting dollar beauty that I bought for the turbo. Well it turns out (before I stripped out an injector line/injector ) that the mystery engine rebuild seems to be a good one. The engine runs great after I worked out a few bugs and it seems to have very good compression. It no longer has the turbo, but all the stock pieces are now in place with a really nice new exhaust system. I am having one issue though...
The "rebuild" C6 transmission acts like it has very low line pressure. I'm no expert, but when you stab the throttle nothing happens. The kickdown is in place but it is not putting power to the ground. It is slow to get into reverse untill its warm and that seems normal I think.
Also There was (key word: was) a vacuum deal mounted on the IP but it was broken so I bypassed it. What is that thing called, and would it have anything to do with my problem? What are some checks -if any- that I can do to see what condition my trans is in? Thanks for any info or help you can give me
