From : andy

Q: ok its out now. lets see if i could find the problem. geekboy nerdynerd@geekboits.com skrev i meddelandet not yet with extra battery connected it was still very weak and could not turn the motor. if the battery is bad you still may not be able to jump start it even though jumper cables are attached. where is the startmotor located underneath the engine just in front of the transmission sqdancerlynn sqdancerlynn1@verizon.net skrev i meddelandet could be lots of things starter ign switch start relay have you applied 12v direct to starter to see if the starter works -- posted via a free usenet account from http//www.tera.com .

youre forgetting the tv cable a large throttle input at low road speed is the classic scenario for a delayed upshift. not forgetting it at all. if the tv cable were out of adjustment it would happen all the time not just select incidents as the op infers. second it wouldnt happen suddenly as the op mentions unless something broke and then the problem would be constant not selective. further if the cable broke or stretched the shifts would be too soon. sorry ill stick to checking codes then looking for physical damage. -- max join www.devilbrad.com and find out what free exchange of info is all about. there are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty soap ballot jury and ammo. please use in that order. -ed howdershelt author max dodges max crap. engine tune has everything to do with it because a detuned engine requires more throttle for the same output. while you are correct that a detuned engine may require more throttle the pcm isnt looking for just tps or just rpm. as such the state of engine tune has little effect since the tps and rpm inputs vary independent of one another. this produces an infinite number of possible combinations that the pcm would see. that infinite number of combinations is possible with or without a well tuned engine. youre forgetting the tv cable a large throttle input at low road speed is the classic scenario for a delayed upshift. .

thanks bryan i have 115 v at the startmotor + connection and the motorblock as ground.. the cables is not the freshest and i have removed tha startmotor and charging the battery. im thinking that the battery is not being charged as it should i have had electrical problem half a year ago. also the relay for the startmotor is to be checked electrical problem sucks.. not so easy to see where it is.. // mattias also check the condition of the battery cables. cut back a little insulation on the negative cable at the post mount and if you see any powder and greenish corrosion on the copper wires replace the cables. ive had bad cables give me starting problems before. hd .
