    Default converter locking in 2nd & 3rd @ WOT

    we have set everything we can think of to keep it from locking...with NO luck!
    ONLY way we can keep it from locking is thru the scanning software...manually overriding the solenoid...
    locks and unlocks just fine when daily driving...

    this started happening after the new, higher stall converter was installed...

    any thoughts?
    something we may be missing?

    some of the things in the tune may seem odd because the most common settings were not working, so we changed some around...

    thanks in advance!

    All you changed was the converter...?

    I've been scratching my head when I looked at your file on ls1tech (even after I realized I misread the title/post... poor speed reading skills...).

    I agree, there are various tables in there that don't look right.

    I don't think this is it, but D1207 seems too close to D1206.

    I don't have my laptop w/ me right now...
    I'll see if I can find the tune that would probably seem common in the tranny calibration settings for WOT that we were using prior to the swap...every tune since it started locking is wacked because we've been changing things to try and get it to NOT lock...

    what is Ed referring to in regards to those settings are not for WOT...???

    if I'm @ 100% TPS, as the log shows...do I still need to adjust D1207 and D1206?

    I had not seen "@WOT" in your post title and for an unknown reason I had not seen "unlocks just fine when daily driving"...
    so then I proceeded to say to edit the part throttle TCC apply/release tables...

    Ed was pointing out that those tables I mentioned were for PT rather than WOT...

    D1001-D1006 are PT tables.

    but those are still the ones that we have always adjusted to prevent WOT lock up...hmmm...
    what tables besides D1207 and D1206 are for WOT then, since they are only TPS related?
    I would assume that those alone should still prevent lock up @ 100% TPS WOT...???
    would anything interfere w/ those two commands?

    I think that the PCM sees your MAF maxing out, and after delaying a moment, it then locks the TCC.

    so, cablebandit's (and anyone else's for that matter) NOT locking @ WOT is due to being SD?

    I don't think the TCC WOT tables "exist" yet (not discovered/published)...

    Edit: Oh, I see Ed says they were discontinued.

    Very possibly, I was going to say this:

    If you can run in SD, and you see it unlock then the MAF pegging out is the problem.
