More 4+3 issues
Here's a puzzler for you experts out there. I have an 86 w/ the doug nash 4+3. Usually it will engage OD normally. Ie. I shift through the gears and when I let off the clutch the OD will engage. No problems right...wrong. If I rev hard through first hear the OD shuts off as normal but will not re-engage unless i park and turn off the car for about a minute. After that it works fine again. Unless I get on it in first again.

Hi Blue,...Experts you say?? Well that leaves me out.
I assume the ECM controls the OD, You might try disconnecting the battery for a little while to reset the ECM,.You might also check the connection on the temp sensor we were talking about in the other thread, the one on the front of the motor above the water pump.

Awesome info. I found that after kicking down in first gear the OD is supposed to stay off until reaching fourth gear. Kicks down as advertised but does not re engage the OD in fourth. I think i may need a new ECM.

Hi Blue, I would exhaust all other options before buying a new ecm. My 85has an auto, so I don't know where all the components areyou need to check. Some one will come along that knows more about them.

I've heard the ECM computer chipcan be programed to shutoff the overdrive in different configurations. You might want to remove the chip and get it read. Mine has the 180 degree theromstat/fan Upgrade. Not sure how the overdrive is programed. Mine is also a 4+3.
