Hi All
I have a '97 960 that at 6:30 this morning took to racing her engine to four grand. Got her shut down, but any attempts at restart went straight to race.
Isolated problem down to the idle air control solenoid by clamping the hose from it closed w/small needle nosed vise grips... Replaced the IAC solenoid. Fired her up.... Race city. There is some juice to the solenoid, as it does activate, at least to a degree, when ignition is on. Fuses check out OK w/ VOM.
Within the same time period, maybe five minutes earlier, I noticed that the tranny would not shift up to 4th. Later I find it will intermittently shift up above 60mph, when I let off on the throttle, but shift down if I get anywhere near 50 mph. The IAC problem started after I hit downshift to pass a truck. (Did pass the truck...) Help Help Help Please!!! Does anyone know which of the manuals might have the right info?
Thank you,
Doc J
