It's almost always some clueless newbie with less than 10 posts that resurrects a dead thread. Since most people in here look at only the first page when reading the forum it isn't helpful to have these long dead posts jump to the top of the forum. Seven months without a reply is long dead, IMO. If one has a similar problem and uses the thread instead of starting a new one, that's good, but offering help where the OP has either already fixed the problem or is no longer coming in here to find a solution isn't.

I also got a transmission temp sensor code 2 of the times, so there may be some connection there.
[B]yes that's what I've been trying to figure out myself for the past 2 months. Started out misfiring when low gas light came on and disappeared when refueled now can't go near a 1/4 tank without it happening. So I've replaced tps sensor, plugs and evap air control motor and that didn't fix it so I dropped gas tank and am attempting to replace fuel pump. Hope this works. Will post results when done.

Come on Matt. This thread is more than six years old. Don't you find it ironic that the last post in it is complaining about folks resurrecting old threads, and at the time it was posted, it was only seven months? Well, I think you got him beat. Also, I would point out that very few of the folks that posted in this tread are still around.....

You also have a thread going for this..... Please exercise a bit of restraint, huh?

Did you check dates on this thread by any chance? Read the last several posts???? Or was this some variety of joke? This thread has been dead for almost a decade....
