[V8] still no kickdown!!!

[Ed Kellock]

As far as the shift points are concerned, some tcu's were tuned a bit less
agressively.  I'm not sure if the kickdown switch engagement affects the
shift point though.

Hi All

 

The on going saga of my lazy v8 continues. found the switch on the
acclerator cable had fallen apart, so the tcu wasn't getting 12v on pin 41
when the pedal is floored... (replaced cable, lost skin will to live etc)
Magic ! 12v on pin 41! 

 

Put it back together.. test drive... still won't rev past 4800 in "E" or
5200rpm in "S". :-(

 

I understand the climate control unit comes into play somewhere (disengaging
compressor clutch on AC under heavy load) 

I have tried the test on the climate unit on channel 17 and the segment
which should light up for the kickdown switch doesn't!

 

Any info would be great.. 

because i'm totally stumped
