[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 1029505, member: 71978"] Wanted to update here. New iridium plugs, 8mm wires, new MAF, new fuel filter, cleaned throttle body, fresh synthetic oil since it was time to change. I disconnected the battery and left it like that for hours, jumped the +12VDC to the disconnected negative cable. The engine hasn't shut off on me since that one time so that is good - it still revs high on cold starts and stumbles a little during idle but I can deal with that. I'll likely replace the FP Driver as a precaution. I did try to replace the solenoid pack but the "new" replacement ended up leaving me without reverse and slipping out of gear around 30MPH after a quick test drive. I then reinstalled the old pack, new fluid (twice, after two showers in trans fluid messing with the damn pack). There was plenty of nasty black gummy material on the magnet. The fluid was darker and smelled a little burned. There was no metal / brass shavings. It's shifting, it is running - I'm going to leave it alone for now until the next issue pops up. [/QUOTE]
