whats up everyone, i've posted a few weeks ago a thread about solenoids. My car was acting strange when shifting, i tought it would be a Tranny problem. Car shifts smoothly between 1 and 2 gear, then from 2 to 3 theres a small slip, just like if the car went back to neutral for a cople of seconds then it would shift in 3rd but wouldnt go in 4th. I brought the car to many different tranny shops, diagnostic gives following code DTC0744, which is the TCC solenoid Valve & lockup ( keeping it from changing to fourth and making the tranny shift badly) Anyways, I work a lot, and I cant seem to coincide my schedual with one of the repair shops, none of them have time, they told me once you get the time leave it for a whole day, dont worry you can drive the car it cant hurt it if you dont push it. I'm a kind of chicken sh*t when it comes to my car, dont want to ruin it, so i left on the side and used my other car instead. One morning, i wanted to go drive it to a garage, i start the car, the engine starts shaking ( just like when an ignition coil misfires) then it stalls. I try to start it again, theres a shaking vibration, but the car doesnt stall, the vibration stops when engine temp goes higher. I took an OBDII scanner, and scanned it, no codes except the DTC0744. Now my question is, does anyone know what could cause the car to stall like that, is it possible that the TCC valve solenoid is making the car behave like that ? PLZ help! I'm afraid that the DTC0744 TCC valve diagnostic code is actually from a defectuous Valve body!!1

no need to be scared, the engine shake has no relation to your tranny problem. when my car does not get driven for about a week, it may do the same - it misfires a bit, then warms up and things are normal.
