cam installed
everything went well the only question is I dont know if this is the right section but since i did the cam I dont have lock up any more in the trans. my check engine light is on but thats probably misefire code from the cam. is it a tuning problem or a converter problem, i just put that converter in a week ago. anybody had this problem.
thanks
thanks

converter lockup is determined electronically, however if you are recieving a misfire code, the computer won't allow the converter to lock, which is probably your issue - so basically get the tune right and your troubles should be over

the TC will go into lock-up after ~3200rpm without a detected misfire. so if you drove it say at highway speeds for a few minutes it should go into lock-up.
ask allen to bump up the misfire thresholds and that should help out.

just scan the codes to be sure nothing else is coming up, if it's a random misfire you can ignore it until you get it tuned, cams tend to set off a random misfire so don't sweat it...

My random misfire light is always on from my cam, but I've never seen it flash, except a long time ago when I drove through a puddle with a frayed plug wire. You must have some serious misfires going on there.
