I have a 2005 Max SE / AT. The problem is hard starting at both cold and warm. Tranny stuck in 5th.


Went to the parts store to have it scanned and they said CPS bank 2. So a little reading and replaced both (bank1 and 2). No change at all.


Drove back for another scan and they scanned p0340,p0345 and p1800. The P1800 (VIAS solenoid) seem to me to have nothing to do with it. so unless advised different I am ignoring for now.


I now have a borrowed scanner and scanned the car again. It only showed p0340 and p0345. I examined the original parts and they appear to have a few chips on the bottom. I also checked resistance on the pins and get 275 to 380 on all (1-2,1-3,2-3). The only reference I could find was a pdf on the 2004 model that states "except 0"


I am now kind of stuck. Any help at all would be appreciated greatly.


TIA!
