Often this kind of problem it is caused from faulty throttle position
sensor, you find out by connecting a code reader to your car computer.
throttle position sensor tells to your transmission control module how
you are using the throttle, so that the car automatic transmission can
shift to right gear, when this is faulty often you have transmission
faults related to engine rpms and temperature, this can explain a trans
problem happening only when engine is hot. In some case it is not the sensor, but the computer module controlling transmission that is faulty. To find out cause for the problem you need to connect a code reader to transmission module and to main computer module (ECU). The code reader will return fault codes that allow to locate the problem. this kind of job can be done at any qualified garage.
Code is transmission related, might of caused a problem internally and that is why your code is present and you are having problems shifting.
Is there any physical damage to the transmission pan ? Dent could of damaged a component inside.
You can't. These are codes related to the o2 sensor and the evap circuit, and will be checked every time. You can try clearing the codes, but I suspect they will come right back. Time for a repair.
code p 0442 is the code for faults concerning the EVAP system
and will not show up in transmission changing gears
indications from your statement is problems in the TR sensor, VSS or TCM units
check for problem wires and connections
as for the problem of getting to park from reverse , check the adjustment of the park and neutral switch as one may have moved or be loose
po442= evap emission control system leak (small) po742= torque converter clutch soleniod circuit stuck on i got these out of the booklet for my code reader po442pd wasn't listed
I have a dodge stratus and the engine light is on and it drives and its as though someone stopped it with a grabbing sensation but its not the brakes they are not involved. i thought the pause and cut off was caused by the transmission but it not that either
hi you get this code if the gas cap dose not seal so will any pressure loss in the gas tank or a related component get your local dealer to run a smoke test on the evap control system to exactly pinpoint the leak hpoe this helps
check gas cap and make sure on good, if possible find another one to try on car to see if that works clear codes before trying(take neg cable off battery for approx ten minute) or might have leak in vaccume line or canister
if the air filter was recently inspected or changed, look for the vacuum hose to be disconnected from the valve located on the air filter cover. another source may be the gas cap either loose or with the tether strap caught under it preventing a proper seal
