I checked the TPS with the van running and got a reading of 0.95V. Believing the perfect value to be around 0.78V, I set the TPS to roughly that value, and checked for flat spots in in voltage with throttle movement. Took the van for a very short test drive, and the shift issue was still...

If that is the case, why do you think I lost 1st originally? It works in “L” but not “D”. Why the start in 2nd from a stand still? I could understand a solenoid failure making 1st unavailable in all instances, or making a gear unavailable during acceleration, like if I lost OD or something, but...

Did you ever resolve this issue? It sounds familiar to the problem I am having, thread is here: https://delicaforum.com/index.php?threads/l400-2-8l-a-t-low-power-on-takeoff-kick-down-cable-tps.7237/ I’m adjusting the TPS today (read 0.88 at no throttle, adjusting to 0.78) and the tear driving...

Ok, I was just reading through some other forum posts (which I should have done before posting) and I see discovered the same thing. Procedure is correct, but I was testing the supply wire, blue/red, and I need to check the signal wire, blue/yellow. The blue/yellow wire reads 0.88V at no...

I got around to checking the TPS today, following the instructions in the document linked above. My reading was 4.93V, which is pretty far off the target of 0.78V. I believe I did everything correctly but that reading is so out of spec that I am concerned I am mistaken somewhere. I found what...

It’s comforting to know that someone else is having the same original issue. As mentioned, I adjusted the 2x 12MM locknuts. I felt more comfortable doing that rather than adjusting the slider after reading some forum posts about how the system is supposed to work. My understanding is the 12MM...

Update to my transmission problem: A few days ago I attempted a hilly drive to the nearest Autozone. That morning the original issue was present again, lack of power on takeoff. The same symptoms existed as before: van felt like it was starting in 2nd, would shift into first if selected “L”...

Wow thanks, just rented a house to be able to get this job done. Now I have to figure out if I can get that shipped down here or if I should look for it locally. I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Any advice on whether or not the throttle cable is the likely culprit will be greatly...

I was able to find them pretty easily by pressing on the roof. SWB or LWB?

I am wondering that as well. The cable, at least on the throttle pedal side looks pretty good, so I’m not sure if it is original. If it is original, its 26 years old and some fraying/stretching makes sense to me. Does anyone know where to get one? I am also wondering if there is any cross over...

I will be doing a minimal service when I reach my next long term destination in a few days (oil change, air filter change, fuel filter check). I think it is transmission related because I have “full power” when I shift into L, and the problem is only on takeoff from stopped in “D”. I assume if...

So I’m in central Mexico on a 6-7 month “overland” journey and I am having some A/T troubles. The van is a 1996 2.8L diesel LWB, automatic transmission. I am approaching the point of ordering some parts, but I can’t quite figure out what parts I need, or what is even happening to my...

UPDATE: We are maybe 2000 miles from install of the new OEM starter, and in the middle of a long trip, and the new starter has now failed to engage twice (two out of hundreds of starts). It engaged on the second attempt in both instances, which is similar to the original issues. I trust the...

Nice thanks for the input. I saw some youtube videos about them failing but it looked like the owners allowed the bags to deflate and that when the damage happens. Did you use the black hose that came with the kit of did you swap it out for pneumatic/air hose?

Just received my AirLift 100 (product 60769) and I’m getting ready to install them today. Any opinions on these bags AFTER running them for an extended period of time? I’m wondering about how they are going to hold up.

How do you know which one you've got?

I don't know how to solve any of your problems using the hardware you've got, and I commend you for trying to use what you have, but I recommend getting a new head unit. I swapped my stock stereo for a new JVC Head Unit, I think the product is the KW-M560BT. The switch was easy, the wiring was...

I'm considering swapping my OEM expansion tank for an aluminum model to remove the chance of a sudden failure while on a long trip. My questions are, how do I know if my fluid is at the right level, as most of the options I have seen don't have a sight glass, and are there any pros/cons that...

After thinking about this mod for months, and knowing that a fan is nearly necessary for long distance travel in Mexico and Central America, we added a fan without removing the headliner to our L400 LWB. It's an Exceed trim package, high roof but no crystal light windows. I wanted to post this...

I had an issue that caused my van to disable OD and 1st gear (only 2nd gear starts). Essentially it was a blown fuse in the interior fuse box. In my case, the problem was an add-a-fuse that was installed upside down, causing the original fuse to act like it was tripped, but thats beside the...
