When I first start vehicle it idles fine unless you raise rpms to around 3000 then misfires and caughs out throttle body. Put it in reverse and it will die or barely stay running. You can put it in drive and take off ok untill you get around 30 or 40 mph then will cut out and not let you pick up any speed.The longer you drive it the better it gets.Wont throw any codes and have had numerous mechanics put a scanner on it and everything reads fine. Almost like comuter is forgeting everything it learns after sitting a couple hours.Or could be something temp.related.Maybe Cat converter? Its driving me crazy? Hopefully someone has had the same problem. Did have to put a rebuilt Tranny in it which was a joke because overdrive was trashed in the rebuilt tranny.
If it has distributer cap replace it --cud be u need a new computer or havit reflashed--bad ones dont show on a scan--a bad torque converter can mimic engine issues--bad ignition parts like coil-alternator or worn ignition module can also give these symtoms--even a bad themostat that doesnt let motor warm properly--each car is different--dirty throttlbody and idle air controlpossibl--since car is old running a data stream that displays values or voltages can pinpoint bettr then a 40$ scanner
Thanks for the ideas. Did change distributer cap.Not sure why reverse is so much worse. Did check all sensor values and voltage and everything looks fine. The torque converter could be bad because of the other issues the remanufactured tranny had. But would it misfire in every gear including neutral if you push enough rpms?
if computer system is bad--unplug it clean pins then plug bac in a few times-may clear things up
Thanks I will try that.

The switch is located on the side of the transmission. There is a 2-wire connection, (I believe they are coloured black/orange and red/white. If you unplug the connector and jump the 2 wires together the lights should go on. If they do then the switch is dead, if not there's something else wrong.

Check to see if the coolant level is low.

Ive tried 3 different pcm's from a junkyard in it. made sure part numbers matched and that they didnt have a security system and with all three it fires right up and dies. Dont understand what Im doing wrong. Do they all have a vin burned in them? Ive read other stories on forums that say they went to a junkyard and matched the part number and it worked great for them.
computers in certain car pcm need to be programmd if a new or used one is put in-aprivate shop that has eqip ment is best move-- ut in
Thanks for the help. You think the mechanics at the dealership could have told me that.
