the leak of the rear engine main is the last in the list of possible (it is super robust this seal) so is not ATF fluild leaks for sure.?
the fast idle,does the TV fast idle plunger retract hot engine, and does engine hit 180 to 200f when normal hot>
your PRNDL is bad. sure.
it must signal drive,and and PARK (the TCM does all actual gear shifts with solenoids) 4sp.
or idle will wrong. if PRNDL signalling wrong, an OBD2 scan too will warn of this 1997 to now.
Yes, it's oil not ATF, BOTH valve cover and rear main seal so replacing is necessary. I have cleaned/degreased and ran the engine again, Yep. OIL.
I have both seal and gasket.
iF PRNDL is bad then who's replacement to buy? See lots of remans but as usual (I HATE DORMAN) who's is better and not just some chinese garbage.
I see no ODBII codes for anything trans. Working on reading/understanding plunger and confirming. Looks like exhaust manifold is cracked too. No worries. I have another, and have brazed them before.
