…but sounds like your torque converter may not be so lucky (good find by haydent).

Great to see you back Eevo.

i didnt want to suggest there was something wrong with car specifically, more looking for dyno graphs and found both.

i guess a TC is almost always slipping by design (unless specifically locked up in highway conditions) so maybe it just to what degree, though im not sure how a TC could wear out to reduce performance...

I thought a slipping TC would throw up an input vs output shaft speed mismatch fault, if not that may be the parameter to monitor.

well if thats in the gap tool, (ill have a look next week) it could be something to compare with

A badly slipping TC should feel like a shudder.

Don't know about your particular vehicle but it is often done on other brands.
Not really ideal.

i beleive they tune out EGR as when left on it to leads carbon fouling/build up in the intake.
