Today 0n the way home from work, I swung out into the passing lane and stood into the thottle to the floo, only to have the car fall on it's face. The longer I stayed in the kickdown mode, the more the RPM'S dropped, and dropped, until I had to let off because of the speed dropping off so much and I was on the highway, so I was losing speed rapidly. But if I let off the throttle enough for it to shift back into overdrive, it ran fine, and ran fine the rest of the way home.

The tank gauge was almost in the red, on the red line. I gassed it up, and floored it a few more times on residential streets with 35 mile an hour speed limit, and so it wasn't identical to the highway speed kickdown, but it downshifted like it should and seemed alright when the pedal was floored and didn't drop off on the RPM'S like when on the highway.

I will try it again tomorrow when I am getting onto the highway, and see if the symotoms re-appear, and report back.
