OK so I bought a 4r 3vze 1995 with a blown hg and replaced it.
It is having a couple issues now that I have put it back together.

1) it goes down to 100rpm when I put it in drive while cold. In P its steady at 1000 and once it warms up it stays at 750rpm in gear. Its just the five min after a cold morning start it does that.

2) the acceleration is bad, like 0-60 in 20secs. As it heats up it is better but it won't go into the last gear until it is warm. Meaning I'll be going 40mph at 3000. Until it warms up it won't shift into overdrive. I think its possible there is too much tranny fluid and it shifts easier once its heated and thinned. I added a quart after it showed low and am going to flush it soon.

3) the last main thing is that the cold start injector leaks coolant. The nozzle on the water bypass hose is the one that does it. its a 180° little hose. I replaced the hose but it js OK so I bought a 4r 3vze with a blown hg and replaced it.

The only cel is for the egr I deleted.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I have already looked through the forums and haven't seen anything that could help specifically. This is the first time I've done anything of this caliber so its very possible I did something simple and silly. Its rdy happened multiple times...😑

CSI can't leak coolant, fuel maybe. What nozzle on what bypass? You're talking nonsense man.

OK so I uploaded a pic, lemme know if you can't see it. In the pic its the 180° hose just below the horizontal part of the green arrow. Its the hose behind the plenum and on top of the intake near the firewall.

And yeah I'm retarded its the coolant temp sensor not the csi. And the nozzle I meant is the nipple for that water bypass hose(dealer said its named that). So that whole assembly of sensors and the bsvs valve is the part that wasn't tightened down. Does that explain it better?

Hey any thts mudhippy? I'm not sure what a lot of part names are because I've only been doing this for a couple months. It make take an extra sec but I can describe anything you need to help diagnose.
