Does the speedometer work correctly? Any trouble codes? Check engine lamp illuminated? Which engine? So many questions.Smile

Okay; The check engine light has been on for three years and you haven't bothered to find out WHY? From personal experience, if you get a severe pain in your left arm or solar plexes, I'd suggest you get it checked. Good luck.

The exhaust wouldn't make a CEL illuminate unless you put on headers and removed the O2 sensor.

Re: Trans will not shift Sign In

If you removed the O2 sensor, how is the PCM going to know how to deliver fuel? By replacing the harness, the PCM is getting what data it can. If it can't 'see' O2 operation, well,.....

Re: Trans will not shift Sign In

You missed the point. If the CEL is illuminated, the PCM is telling you that there is a problem. Since you haven't bothered to check what the problem is, this is moot. You don't know if it's the O2, or not. Once you get the codes retrieved, then we can go further. Until then...... (engine management can cause shifting problems)
