New SVX, new problems.

the pressure solenoid valve is also known as the pressure regulator. It is a black solenoid under the intake manifold on the passenger side

That was fast! Thanks a lot for your aswers and your help. What does that solenoid do exactly?

[TomsSVX]

it regulates pressure to and from the charcoal canister. It is all part of the emissions system with collaboration with the EGR valve and such. Simple fix but its a PITA to get to

Ok thank. On a different note, I was wondering if any of you had experimented with products limitting slippage in transmissions. I've heard of the "Dr Detroit" (local) additive and someone else told me to try a GM additive that they put in differentials when they start slipping. I know this exists, but since unplugging the resistor didn't seem to have made a difference, I doubt it's help.

if your transmission is slipping there is no additive to save it sorry

I was afraid you were gonna say that.

Thanks.

Do not jump to high cost conclusions. Get the line pressure tested. Low pressure can result from a worn solenoid "A", which can be replaced without removing the transmission. What is more there could be some other detectable cause not horribly expensive.

Tom - the only additive that I have seen that usually does the trick is: $$$
