MAF Differences

I was looking around at different MAF sensors and noticed that some manufacturers list the same part number from 86-89, while others show a separate listing for 86-87 and 88-89. AC Delco shows...

Re: Can i run 700r4 without lockup?

Do you have pictures of both? The TBI and pre 1990 TPI units use 2 pulse sensors and the later TPI units used 4 pulse. Not sure how your car is configured, but I pulled an electronic sender out of...

Re: Can i run 700r4 without lockup?

Yes. There is a GM three speed with a lock up converter, I think it is some version of the TH350. The 700R4 is 4 forward gears plus a locking converter.

Re: Can i run 700r4 without lockup?

No. If it is unplugged, the ECM will not send a signal to lock the converter. However, that will cause problems with the IAC.

This might help.... Make sure to read the full pdf file.

Re: Can i run 700r4 without lockup?

Shifting from 3-4 and the converter locking are two different events. The converter lock up is much more subtle than a gear shift. You can get the car into 4th gear without any input from the ECM,...

Re: Can i run 700r4 without lockup?

I don't know about the early 700R4s, but 1985+ the electric plug only triggers the torque converter lock up. The ECM and speedo don't control gear selection, just converter lock up. Converter lock...

Re: 700r4 overdrive question

Assuming no limiter, your top speed would be likely limited by your rear axle ratio and the engines ability to overcome air drag at high speeds. In third gear with a 3.27 rear and 27" tires you would...

88 IROC did not have VATS, so if you are getting zero cranking, I would try checking the wiring to the neutral safety switch. I believe the wire is purple.
