RE: [DML] Auto trans governor problems

["Matthew L. Walker" <mwalker@xxxx>]

Ok I am a bit confused. In the original info on the DMCNEWS site you say
between pins 1 and 4 - in here you reference pins 3 and 4. Could you
clarify please. ( I actually assume that 1 and 4 is correct based on other
op amps ) Incidentally that would be a no I didn't put in the .1 uF caps. I
am going to remove the GC again and try to resolder all connections but
pulling the boards out far enough has been a real pain. The epoxy or
whatever within the strain relief has a death grip. It was quite
interesting just replacing the caps and transistors. BTW Is it possible
that I have reversed the caps?

I know the problem is heat related in some way due to the way and timing of
it. It is very consistent. If the car is cool no probs. Once it gets hot
it will not go to 3rd, and from 1st to 2nd is sluggish. Solder joints do
seem a likely culprit. Hopefully I will get it all fixed this weekend.
Would really like to get to the fuel sender.

Thanks for all the help.

BTW I did disconnect the open throttle micro switch. No change. :(
