Won't go to overdrive (4th gear)
1997 PT, 165k miles, 3.4L; will not shift to highest gear. Stays in 3d, and at 70 miles per hour, RPMs are close to 3k, costing me gas mileage. The transmission fluid was low however I added and it is now at the right level. No other indicators or malfunctions relating to transmission; I do have 2 trouble codes: P1655 and P0121, but these are emission issues. Thanks for any help or advice.

P0121 this is it: throttle position sensor. A classic. THis trouble inhibits 4th, TCC and cruise control. Change TPS.

Re: Won't go to overdrive (4th gear)
No experience with the 3.4. Naturally, it is bolted to the side of the throttle valve and access can be scarce. Here are a few pictures from the 3.8 installtion.

Re: Won't go to overdrive (4th gear)
should not be too bad to change on the 3400... should be 2 screws.. Room may be a tad on the tight side tho..
