In Reply to: Transmission and Conforti Chip Questions (more)... posted by Justin on May 09, 2000 at 07:14:56:

Justin,
Did you check transmission fluid level when the car was warm and just after driving at least 10 miles? If you check when the car is cold, the level will appear high. BTW, when the car is hot, it's nearly impossible to grab the dipstick handle without burning your hand on the manifold (nice engineering job there!)...use gloves.

: Transmission:

: Could an overly full transmission cause the "Trans Fail-Safe Prog" error? I thought that perhaps my transmission fluid was low (per my post below), but checking the dipstick, it seems that the fluid level is high (how it got that way, I don't know... but I did just get the car back from a local dealership... hmmm). I guess the easiest way to take out a little fluid would be to syphon it throught the dipstick shaft... ?

: Conforti Chips:

: Has anyone determined the solution to the rough/errative idle caused by the Conforti chips? I saw some posts about this topic earlier, but have not found a solution searching the archives. Of course, my search was relatively cursory.

: Thanks,

: Justin
