i need answers!!
Saturday, August 11, 2007 8:35 AM
I got the b&M shift plus and i have it all hooked up. I love the feel of it. Its definitely the best upgrade i've gotten for 50 bucks ahha. I did have a question about this item though. I have a no trac light, which i know is normal, read it on jbody forum. After driving the car i notice that the rpm's will jump when i leave off the gas(not breaking).. they quickly make there way down to 1000 and then jump inbetween 1000 to 1300 to 1000 to 1300 and then they stop after like 5 times, is that normal? Also, when i leave off the gas but do not break, i hear a small squeel, like a burning belt. The only thing itouched was the pcm when i changed the wires around, i was thinking the squeel would be the torque converter, what do you think? Oh, and i have the b&m if setting 1.

I took it for another spin, this time i had it set on option 2. I still have the squeel and the reving problem, but now i also get the check engine light. Is this normal as well ?

Also, whenever i had the B&M hooked up i had a rocky start? like the car started and the rpms would drop n it would die out. I didnt have this all the time, sometimes it would stay on but they still died. What did i do wrong?

A change in throttle position will cause the torque converter to unlock. The unlocking/locking will cause the RPMs to fluctuate a few 100 RPMs.

Yes it's normal to see the RPM jump after a throttle position change. That B&M thing might make it more noticeable now.
