Choke light comes on during shift? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I'm going down the street, and the transmission shifts into overdrive, the choke light comes on. What's up with this?

Does it have anything to do with the Edelbrock carb and intake? I have tested for shorts, checked the electric choke itself, the oil pressure is fine. It beats me.

Someone please shed some light on this problem.

Thanks

Elwood

its an automatic OD indicator that your truck has created for you. apparently your truck loves you. i've only had light go out on my truck, never had any come on that werent there before.

Sounds to me like there is some wiring crossed up somewhere. I would look at the wiring going to the tranny from the low vac switch.

normally thats supposed to indicate low oil pressure, why when it shifts I don't know.
