My tranny was leaking from the converter seal, so i topped it off, and drove it to my buddies garage. We changed the seal, and the leak is gone....now for the new problem!!!!

It has no power and stalls occasionally when i come to a stop.. Slow as hell from take off even under boost. It ran fine before i put the new seal in. Did i miss something when reinstalling the tranny? Fluid level is full, i can see it when i pull the dipstick.
 
Just for the hell of it, i decided to check for TCU codes. Code 14...improperly adjusted TPS. Why didn't this throw a check engine light? If i readjust/relpace the TPS, should this fix my problem? Is theis also why i have no power, is it in limp mode or something?

Your are probably in limp mode.

The most likely cause is that you have the trans plugged into the vehicle harnesses wrong.

Try to reverse the two 4 pin connectors and see what happens.

I agree with john....the 2 4 pin tranny connectors can easily get switched up and would put in limp mode... do you notice the tranny shift like normal?
 
John,

Your the man. Switched the four pin connectors, and she is good as new.. Thanks a bunch.
