Ok looks like things have changed being I have a P1174 on my ultraguage so maybe I didnt spray in the right area...gonna try it again and update. As for the 0-60 maybe I should wait to find this booger unless you still need it,

There’s diy ones you can make if you can’t find one they aren’t easy to find to rent. My whole interior is about to be taken out today so I’m not waiting for any 0-60 lol

Hi.
I have a tiny 2mm light installed that tells if the compfuser engaged or not the TCC. It usually does at around 40 mph.

Hi !
The LED is of the 2mm tiny tip type force pushed from under the plastic gear selector shell to a tight hole drilled where shown above, wired as to turn ON when the torque converter is in operation, and OFF when locked. Of course other sizes, colors can be used.



Its electronic symbol below is -----|>|-----

C0677-6(+)----------------------|>|--------------------resistor 1000 ohms------------------------(-)ground

Connection points are ground (taken at a nut by the parking brake lever base; and positive at the grey/red wire on connector C0677-6 accessible behind the windows control panel. Tiny telephone wire does it routed to the location of your choice.

So I finally finished working from daylight to dark and got to do a smoke test which is a automotive fluid transfer hand pump from Harbor Freight and a blue medical glove and a 99 cent Swisher cigar, found the vacuum leak and got it fixed and I still could barely even notice any power increase, I just dont get why I push the pedal when the torque converter locks and theres no RPM change or Acceleration like it's just weak as crap and my girlfriends is strong. but I did talk to a guy from Roverland in dawsonville Ga. and he said I could put 4.11's in it or do a cam or rebuild it into a 4.6...but I'll would just have to deal with it cause my rover is just tired and that's just how some are. I do have 265/65R18's but I wouldnt think that would make that big of deal. I have heard of people swapping the Crank sensor wires to advance the timing 3° but I'm not to sure about it...I just have to find the weak point causing this and maybe this will help alot of people with the same problem along the way.
