Hey everyone, let me first mention that this is for an 87 ss montecarlo,
Ok, I've had an ongoing problem with the tcc-lockup in my car basically since i've owned it. Back when I 1st got the car, it was acting like a failing tcc, not unlocking when it should. After a few days it just stopped working completly. A couple years later I hit a curb going around a corner and for whatever reason the lockup started working again but still like a failing tcc not unlocking when it should. After a couple full throttle take-offs a few days later again the tcc stopped working completly. Just recently now that I am restoring the car, I decided to have the tcc solenoid in the transmission changed and has been working perfectly for about 4 weeks now. Sure enough 2 days ago it stopped working after an eclipse tried to race me. The tps sensor in the carb is fine, the connector on the side of the transmission is clean. I'm not sure what to check next, possible problems I did notice are the connector on the transmission (which was designed with only 2 prongs) not sure if thats normal or not, and the top button switch on the brake pedal. sorry for the long post, but I wanted to fully describe the problem, any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks
