Dave,
could the oil pump have gone out on you? Smack talk aside, I'm really sorry this happened to you... -Bill

WOW. Thats sounds exactly what happened to my motor. I just ripped it out and replaced it... I tore the engine down and still never found out what it was. assumed it was a burnt valve but never really looked into it

I'm questioning the oil pump as well. but... I'm not sure if I'm just trying to give my self some false hope, but the more I think of this TC/input shaft theory, the more sense it could make??? If I try to turn the engine with a breaker bar and get a feel for the resistance, then unbolt the TC from the flex plate and see if that allows the engine to spin more freely???? Am I nuts and still in shock? or is this somewhat plausible???

doubtful. Are you burning any oil in exhaust?? check the oil for antifreeze and visa versa

Well, it's worth a try...have you checked the coolant and oil to see if any fluid is where it's not supposed to be? The fact that your oil pressure light came on is NOT a good thing, as they're typically set fairly low (pressure-wise). The fact that it seems like you had plenty of oil in the engine and the light still came on leads me to think it's the oil pump.....

Yeah... it doesn't make sense. But when driving it it feels like I'm driving a manual tranny with one foot heavy on the brake...
It feels like the engine wants to go, but something is holding it back??? I'll drain the oil tomorrow and see what comes out

Dave,
so she'll start up and idle okay? If this is the case, then I'd definitely look at that trans (especially since you have sooooo much experience replacing them...) -Bill

I would say in the case of a solid idle... trans
the oil pressure light will come on when the engine is on the verge of stalling...if ur torque converter is locking up it will stall the engine much like you are describing... Check it out may just be the tc or a bad trans...in that case it is an easy and inexpensive fix To |

There is a torque convertor for like $10 with 25 shipping on ebay right now. I think it has like a day left at the most.

Finally got into her tonight
Turning the crank with a breaker bar, there doesn't seem to be any more resistance than normal and no funny noises. Once I disconnected the TC from the flex plate there was very little difference. Next I pulled the starter and the TC can be easily spun by hand. I drained the oil and have started to strain it to see if anything interesing is in there. What else can I check? I know the trans has to be replaced. If I have to replace the engine also, I'd like to do it at the same time. What else can I check with the engine to see if there is an internal problem???
