 Subject: Warm Weather Weirdness

Message:
Well I started having a problem with my 99 5.2L 4X4 truck last summer, and it magically disappeared once the weather turned cold. Now that its warm again the problem is back.
Basically once I've been driving for awhile, engine warmed up, my truck starts to stall and go rich. Black smoke out the tailpipe and it will eventually die. I get two codes consistently, torque converter solenoid open circuit and evap pump open circuit. If I lift the hood and let everything cool off, the truck starts up and runs fine, until it's heated up again. I'm thinking its the computer freaking out once it gets hot, but wanted to get some second opinions before I buy a rebuilt one. Thanks for any info.

Get a spray can of component cooler, available at places like radio shack. Spray the PCM when the truck is acting up. If it goes back to normal, that's your problem.

That really is one strange problem. Since this is the general board put this in the other boards like v8 or v6, you did not say what you have, as maybe someone who may have the solution may only be in those boards. Let us know here what you find as a solution.

That 'evap pump' code could be bad , or loose
gas cap . Or cracked/damaged vacuum hose..
Torque convert code may mean bad sensor on tranny..
