Tcc

well, how do i go about testing to see if the TCC is "burned out or "sticking"? im talking about NO low end power, when i punch the gas its almost as if the car is struggling to stay running, very very horrible acceleration till about 20~25 mph, ive cleaned out the build up in the upper manifold and throttle body, opend the intake and threw on a dynomax mufler, so i dont understand why there is the lack of power from 0 till 25 or so. im still working on my sensor problem, but i dout a (MAF) would cause this kind of problem, ~~~motors got 165k and runs great other than this problem, and im not looking for a high powerd machine here, but it would be nice to chirp the tires at a stop light ONCE in a while!!!

it wouldn't be the tcc unless the motor revs a lot before the car goes. check your timing...it could be retarded.

Check the timing.

Check the chain for stretch, too!
