That doesn't sound like a transmission problem.it just wants to bog out on me again under load.
I don't know what that means.Decided to test a theory and see what it does at revs. Full throttle the truck acts like it has like a launch control.
That's not a trans problem.Itll reach to about 3500-3800rpm and just hold there and sputter. Half throttle and I can full rev.
What is your fuel pressure under load, and when the truck "sputters"?
Connect a scan tool, look at the data stream before it "sputters"; and while it's "sputtering". Also check the misfire history. Maybe you can narrow-down the problem to one or two cylinders.
Probably wise. Don't forget to check the spark plugs for wear, deposits, cracked porcelains, etc.On standby I have a new distributor cap and rotor along with new wires.
Also probably wise, but none of this sounds like a trans flare, it sounds like the engine misfires.On the way I have the jumped wire for trans flare.
That's a statement, not a question.Now Im starting to believe my issue may be throttle body related?
"Launch control" means "rev limiter"?cause normally when you floor a pedal of any car itll hit the limiter or bounce off it. Mine? Half way then it just bounces like launch control. Its just wild.
These trucks have a speed limiter, and they've got fuel maps that--I think--don't allow excess RPM; but that wouldn't sound like a typical "hot-rod" ignition-based rev limiter.
MAYBE this is fuel-pressure related, MAYBE this is a failure in the ignition system--faulty coil, cap, rotor, plug wires, plugs.
TEST the coil with a spark-tester calibrated for HEI. If your coil will reliably fire the spark tester, the new coil you might be tempted to buy is probably lower-quality than the one on your vehicle right now.
