had problems with my 90 4.9 engine starting lately so i ran the codes and got a 32 which said egr. i knew something was wrong with the egr years ago because the vacuum line would pop off. i checked the egr with a vacuum pump and it held vacuum so i finally put a hose clamp on it. a friend whos a mech told me the egr was leaking pressure and causing the vacuum line to pop off and with the codes yesterday i went ahead and replaced it. now i have code 11 which says in the book that everything is good but while cruising under 50 - 55 mph it feels like its surging. i checked the codes again and got a 11. i did find out that if i take it out of overdrive it rubs great, its a automatic with elect. overdrive. i cant find any info on this problem. i have checked all the wire connections and vacuum hoses and dont find anything wrong. and ideas on this problem.

 

What happens if you try to accelerate on 50-55 mph staying in OD?

 

runs fine. id like to check the adjustment on the manual lever position sensor but cant find any info on it, other than they say i need a tool.

 

Manual lever position indicator, being an automatic, are you talking about the PRNDL indicator? If so, take off the steering column cover and you will see the adjuster. Its either a wheel or the clamping thing has to be loosened. Put lever in neutral and adjust there, recheck in all gears.

 

mines called a manual lever position sensor and its located on the transmission. like the old mustangs. problem is that it says i need a special tool to line it up, not like the old mustangs where you simply used a drill bit. heard of some one making the tool but cant find a picture of it or how he did it.
