I understand where it's at; you said inspect the holes it normally reads.. at what point on the fly wheel is it reading? What are we looking for?

Nevermind i did not see your previous post; what's the tolerance between the sensro and what ever it's reading.. if its got crap on it will it cause a thunking, thud or maybee cause what we are having issue with you think? What kind of holes on the fly wheel is it reading? Managements like on the CPS?

The sensor is a hall effect device combined with an internal magnet. On a 5.9 V8 motor the flywheel/drive plate has 8 single notches, spaced every 45 degrees at it's outer edge. The notches cause a pulse to be generated when they pass under the sensor. Those pulses are input into the PCM and for each engine revolution there are eight pulses generated for a V8 engine...(the two mounting bolts are hex heads)

I've also heard transmission fluid done the same way, or poured through the carb, might free a stuck ring(for the 'been sitting awhile' motors). If there are "side effects" to a whole bottle at once then DO NOT follow my example. But as of yet, I see no problems.
I always rum the whole bottle through as well, since thats what the directions say to do.

Maybe its possible your torque converter has gone bad. Ive seen it happen 3 times in my life but anything is possible with these darn things.
