what would cause a check engine light to come on after boosting the car off the line then taking off? also slips under full throttle
p0700 is the code which means another is stored in the tcu

Well the best way is to read the cel code then youll know, hard to tell just by the light coming on, could be simple as a sensor going bad, or wiring could be the cuplrit find the code then youll know what it is then, it will be easy to figure out the problem.
 
If you car is start to slip under full throttle and into boost can be a lot of different things. Could be a weak clutch disc or you need to upgrade to a better clutch. A lot factors go into the car slipping but mostly leans towards the clutch is worn the hell out.
 
Hmmm let someone else chime in on the auto part really don't have a lot of experience with auto. Good luck man.
 
Was P0700 the only code? Start here and get back with us/me.

TCU Codes

2G POs to #6 and NEG to #4.

yeah more symptoms seems to lag a little more after warming up
only code is p0700
Can I use a DIGITAL

did a digital on dcv and got a bunch of different readings i got a 40-60's range LOL mostly 50's and 60's i must be doing something wrong
 
you CANNOT use a digital voltmeter to check for error codes. it must be an analog to see the pulses. Or you could go to radioshack and get a 12V LED to look for the pulses and that will give you the code.

Digital voltmeters just bounce around everywhere and impossible to determine the 12v pulses.
