I tried registering at crownvic.net to post this question...but the clowns there wont even approve my account and its been 2 days. I figured i would post in a good forum. I am a ranger guy but my mom's 1994 grand marq. is dying and she has my ranger so i want to resolve this asap and get the truck back.
Accelerating on the on ramp, shifts fine through the gears till it gets to OD....then bucks VIOLENTLY and loses all power.....drops back to 3rd...acclerates fine..then repeats issue.
I realize these cars commonly misfire on OD under load due to plug wires, EGR gunk, coil packs...etc. Plug wires are new, i just cleaned the EGR gunk out...the only think i cant test is the coil packs.......but i am convinced this is a transmission issue....its too violent for a misfire.
I cannot find for the life of me any info on any shift control solenoids or anything to do with the AODE transmission. Personally i hate automatics and have never tried to figure them out. Does anyone have any information or suggestions on what i could test without dropping the tranny? If i have to drop the tranny shes getting a new car....this thing is worth 500 bucks if that. Milage is 180k....tranny was rebuilt at around 110k.
