my 91 7.3 idi with a recently rebuilt tranny (professionally rebuilt) just stopped locking the torque converter. Does anyone know how to test the lockup electrical system??? Any help is appreciated.
several things can cause it , after checking the brake light switch
you really need to scan it for codes
89-91 processors do not have the ability to flash the o/d light when a code is stored
My 90 F-250 did the same thing, I tested the TPS (FIPL) and it was ok, then replaced it and cured the problem. Mine was shifting between torque lockup and unlock. Even though the switch showed the correct voltage.
the fipl is the most common problem , your test passed it because your meter didnt have a high enough sampling rate
we have had for years what is called a noisy fipl issue
thats when at a cruise condition the vibration etc causes a worn spot in the potentiometer to emit a wide voltage pattern and there is also a code for a noisy fipl
