Folks,
A few weeks ago some of you diagnosed my daughter's problem with her '92 Grand Am quad four to be TCC solenoid related. The theories proffered here made good sense (To refresh your memory the car stalls out at exits after coming off the Interstate but will restart in neutral and will then get going again with some deft working of the accelerator and shifter). Around town all is well. The transmission operates just fine.
My questions:
If the TCC solenoid is sticking can it be cleaned or does it simply need replaced?
If the TCC solenoid is not sticking but the ball valve it controls is sticking can the ball and its seat be replaced?
By disconnecting the solenoid will the transmission overheat as was suggested here? If not the most expedient fix would be to unplug the solenoid wiring. What do you think?
