okay took the ECM to autozone to figure out that they dont test them... well w/e they can go screw themselves for now
i slapped it back into my car, relearned idle and the car seemed to run fine. so i took her for a longer ride where she could get warmed up nicely. on the way back home i felt a grab 2 times 1 a few seconds after the other, but didnt see the RPMs jump. im wondering, could this be the TCC? i know i can just disconnect that jumper and see if she still does it. and if not then im good. My only concern is that i dont have any SES codes comming up at all. and im hoping that if i dont drive her and it is the TCC that i can repair it myself without having to worry about much.
