Transmission shift issue/CEL
New issue just popped up today. My truck is an '03 F250, 7.3, auto, 4x4. As I was driving this morning I felt the engine/transmission stumble as it was shifting gears. It was raining and at first I thought it might just be the tired skipping on the wet streets. Then after a while it did it again as it was shifting gears from a stop.
As I was about to get home the CEL came on and stayed on till I got it parked and shut it down. When I restarted it the CEL was off.
It appears to idle fine. Any thoughts???
I plan to get it to a mechanic to see what codes there are in the morning, but what could possibly make it stumble as it is shifting gears and would throw a CEL?
BTW.....I just replaced the ICP from the dealership, and I also recently had the transmission flushed.
Would the transmission shift solenoid throw the CEL? Just thinking out loud. Of course it could be engine related as well.....

Thanks for the reply. I intend to get the codes read in the morning. I just didn't know if there was anything I could visually check in the meantime. Weird that the next drive I took with the truck it ran fine with no issues.

You can visually check everything on the truck. Without the codes it's a waste of time.

I agree. I'll report back when I get the code(s). I though something simple, like when my ICP went bad. I had no clue that a tell tell sign was oil in the connector. However, I needed to verify by getting the codes as well.

Funny you should ask that, as I've been wondering if this was my problem all day. I changed the CPS a short time ago when the issue was actually my ICP. I changed my original CPS with a Duralast CPS from Autozone. but it wasn't the problem, however it was a cheap try. I kept the OEM CPS as a backup. I wonder if this is my problem? I guess I'll know more when I see my code(s).

I couldn't get it scanned today.....mechanic was sick. So I decided to put the original CPS back in and use the newer one as a spare. Don't know if this will fix my issue, but it's not raining today. Runs and drive normal today though.
