​​I don't know if all the folks who helped me will see this but I wanted to post that...

... I have good news - I'm 99% sure I have found the problem - I AM AN IDIOT!!! (My wife says she's 100% sure)

After thorough study of the FAQ discussing how the RPM Sensor (CPS?) works I began to realize that I probably failed way back (when engine and transmission were out of the car) to install the drive plate (ring gear?, flex plate? flywheel? slotted wheel,??) lined up correctly between the engine and the torque converter. The RPM Sensor couldn't read the timing correctly if this was misaligned!


So after realizing my probable idiocy and contemplating the FAQ info. I began slowly, bit by bit removing the transmission from my 240 ... so I could see if I was right about my failure. I finally got it off 2 days ago and confirmed that the slotted wheel was way off the proper alignment described in the FAQ section of the brickboard.

I believe I have it lined up correctly but I was hoping someone could help me figure out how to post a picture of the new alignment so someone (who is not me) could confirm that I have it in the right spot before I put the tranny back on.


Anyway thank you to all for your help with this way back when I was trying to figure it out (assuming they see this post).

If I can attach a picture I will add it to this thread for anyone's confirmation

Once again learning what "amhik" means
