93 sho 3.2 at weird shifting

[Emerald93shoatx]

So I just purchasedan a 93 3.2 atx. Has 140000kms new rebuilt Trans at 134000ks now that was in 2012 car was only summer driven on weekendsome in summer. So engine codes. Current code is an egr. Previous stored codes egr, and vast fault. Now Carlsson has some exhaust work needed. Otherwise runs amazing!. As for the shifting it will shift way too early and will not down shift when you get on it. Does not slip just pulls with out downshifting. Also at about 1200rpm 50-60kmhr it will hard down shift and her kids the car. Also slow down to turn a corner and when you get back to the gas it's like it's in neutral again not sliding just nothing give it a second to find a gear and it good. Also cruise does not work. Fluid is good. Now I know all text syme Tom's point to the vast being faulty does this make sense to everone?? Driven nicely so I cannot see Trans being junk in 5000kms... thanks and any help appreciated!! DI'd 400km trip from were I bought it cruises like a brand new car hills no issue etc just erratic shift points

Hello & welcome, I assume you are in Canada, given the kms reference? Not sure I understand fully what is going on with your SHO. But usually with an EGR fault, the resolution is to a) clean the EGR "nostrils", b) replace the DPFE sensor, or c) both.

What codes exactly are/were you getting? Multiple codes could include some "false" or non-relevant codes.

Cruise control - was the recall kit ever installed? How is the braking? Have you checked the vacuum hoses related to the brake booster? Sometimes you can get help identifying the location by the presence of a "hissing" sound. Vaccum leaks can lead to a wide array of symptoms.

Yeah egr i am not worried about. What is this recal you talk of?..brakes are.fine no hissing or vacum leaks. My main concern is trans issue. Codes. Are
335 currrent
Old stored codes are 214. 332. 452

 

[Emerald93shoatx]

and yes in canada.

So i reset the codes and performed a koer test got 326 code for egr not getting enough pressure or not seating properly. Meaning? Needs cleaning or?.
Now that i have reset the shstem i will go for a drive and see ic any othrr codes return related to vss etc. And update.

A quick forum search came up with this

Where are you getting the code definitions from, a generic ford site or a SHO site? I think wikiSHO.com has a code listing. Look for 92+ codes.

Generic codes but they match sho ones. After a short drive the 335 and 332 came back for egr issues. Il get that reppaced or cleaned. And then bam vss 452 back again so im almost positive my shifting issue is from the vss.il swap that out and see what happens.

So you are saying that codes 326,335 listed in that thread did not occur here?

sry my apologies yes the egr and dpfe codes were present those i know how to resolve, my main question here is about the vss code and eratic shiftingwill a bad vss really make the trans shift that badly..

 

[rubydist]

a bad vss can make the trans act completely stupid. btdt.

 

[Emerald93shoatx]

i have the ypipe removed and only have the spedo cale left to u hook and then install.hoping by friday my ypipe is back from the shop its currently being converted to catless ypipe . So hoping friday i can test the vss and see if the trans is good im really hoping so..

 

[Emerald93shoatx]

Vss was the fix now for the cruise it still doesn't wrk?

 

[rubydist]

the cruise could not work due to: bad cruise module, bad cruise wiring, bad switches on the steering wheel, etc.

 

[Emerald93shoatx]

Well the cruise works in my 93 go as im parting out il start switching over switches and stuff
