Re: She won't fire up. Please help me! I"m at a complete loss!

Hey guys. So I've gotten a little progress. I can drive it now, though I've only got one gear. Pretty sure I'm in limp mode due to the TCM and ECM not communicating correctly. The tranny not going into gear was my fault. I didn't have enough tranny fluid in it. I've also got a nasty vacuum leak that is causing a squeeling chirp. Very limited power brakes. Sometimes none at all. I'm guessing it's the brake booster, but when I pull the hose from the engine to the booster after turning the engine off I get a very good whoosh like the booster is retaining vacuum. Never had a problem before the swap. I've sprayed carb cleaner and starter fluid every where, but can't get it to idle up. Although in park and neutral it is at like 1400 rpm. Drops to 700 rpms in drive and reverse. Guess I need to hunt down this leak!
