tps is out of adjustment.where did you set the new one at? or i guess the better question first would be; did you read up on how to properly set the tps yet?
edit/seek your other thread found here:

we'll get that E40D shifting like a dream (probably no such thing without a shift kit though.)

Mine kind of does that but it doesn't go from first to O/D! That is probably pretty bad for the transmission and engine.

When I accelerate, sometimes I will get up into 2500RPM+ before the transmission shifts on its own. If I let up on the accelerator at 2000, it will upshift. Same goes for all the gears.

I think I have my TPS set at 1.08-4.38v I think I need to close the range a little and bring the 4.38 down to 4.0 or less. Maybe 3.88?

Ya know, I've never been able to get my TPS to adjust above 3.65 on either one of my trucks! No matter what I set the idle volts to the WOT volts will be between 3.56 and 3.65. On my '94 I think maybe its because my pigtail is loose and not getting a good connection with the TPS so I have a new one that will be installed with my optishift. On my '93 I have no idea why it won't go any higher than that at WOT.
