    so i was at the drug store today. started the car, put it in reverse, backed outta my spot, put it in d and it stalled......okay. put it back in p, start it back up, put it in d and it sits there and rev's as if its in n. okay. put it back in p, waited a couple seconds, back into d, same thing. wtf. put it BACK in to p, turned the car off, waited a second, turned it back on, let it idle for a few seconds, put it back into d and away i went. this isnt the 1st time this has happened to me but its the first time i remembered to document it. anybody have this happen? i can sorta understand the stalling, probly need a lil better tuning but why wont it go into gear?

    Not sure about that one Markus...but the stalling is probably due to your tune. Whenever you get a chance you might want to have Josh tune your car for ya.

    Its never happened to me thank god, but I've heard it happening to a couple of other people. I'd like to give you some real input on this one, but I'm stumped.

    psh you got steve talking to you so i figured i'd add more useless information to the situation lol

    but i think i have seen this general question (probably back on the OC)...but the general idea behind the thread was...you confuse the computer when you switch gears too fast and it just craps out

    err, I don't think so... It's got protection to keep you from droping it into drive while moving backwards so I don't think it's "confused". I get the impression it does that by just not telling the trans to shift. Definitely shouldn't have anything to do with your engine stalling. But what tune do you have at the moment? anything? There may be a bug/hole in the programming or changing torque management?

    haha, didn't say a dam thing either, but it sounded better didn't it?

    markus - the computer is just having a bad day....... not a real scientific answer, and no where near as articulate as daves, but it really comes down to HAL just having issues at that moment......

    Your PCM/or Tcm is smoking dope during the night. It freaks out when you shift it in a way that it feels is too rough. Remember, it's your car, your baby... not your mosquito pole. By turning the car off, it's resetting itself and back to normal. I would also check to see if there's any leaks by the tranny, since it also doesn't like not using enough lube. Hope I put it in words you can easily understand Marky. ;P
