I disconnected the Revolution Sensor, which was the 3 pin one apparently. The first time I started the car after disconnecting it, no O/D flash, then after a while the transmission went into failsafe mode and stayed in 3rd. Afterwards, I turned the car off for a good 5 mins, then restarted it, and the O/D light flashed.
Update:
I’ve put about 30 km’s on it today, its running absolutely wonderful (except for the 1-2k rpm hesitation, which isn’t tranny related, prob dirty MAF sensor, btw is it safe to use throttle body cleaner on the MAF element?).
Thanks very much guys, it really helps to have techies with ready solutions or links to articles with solutions to common problems people face.
You just saved me a buncha money and embarrassment from trying to convince my family and friends that an old 240 would be reliable. Thanks again.
I think you"should use some sort of “electrical” spray cleaner, as recommend by some ( i asked this awhile back on another forum). As the maf sensor is pretty sensitive.
