They know some of what they’re talking about, I wouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water. However knowing some of what you’re talking about, can sometimes be worse than knowing nothing at all. Contrary to popular belief, a Check Engine light is NEVER normal. Heh, I need to make that part of my signature.

Sounds like the torque converter lockout is NOT disengaging. The lockout is usually determined by the ECU, which sends a signal to the transmission computer, or transmission directly. You may want to check the ground on the ECU and any wires headed to the transmission. I’m not sure if that car has a transmission computer, or not. If it does however, check the ground wire on that, as well as the wires going to it. Could be a rub-throgh short. I had this problem on a dodge diesel I was borrowing from a friend to help someone move. Engaging tow/haul mode would cause the torque converter lockout to stay engaged, and automatics don’t like having to use the clutch packs. When was the last time you had the transmission serviced? Have there ever been any major repairs done to the transmission? How does the ATF look / smell?

Does this happen after you’ve made it to overdrive? Try driving around town with the overdrive off, or in 3rd, and see if it happens.

I’ve seen an engine wrecked from overfill; broken rings, thrown rod, blown seals. But these people put oil in till it wouldn’t go in anymore. Just a tad is ok, you’re about 1/2 quart overfilled, shouldn’t be an issue. You CAN put a hose on a turkey baster down the dip stick tube, if you’re worried about it.

No. But a bad programing to match that intake can. Especially if it’s set to go too rich on the stomp.

The blend door is inside the dash and part of the ducting around and to the heater core. Usually located at the center of the console. You can usually locate it above the floor, under the dash, in-between the seats. Also T-stat shouldn’t be an issue unless car is overheating, the piping to the heater core bypasses it and ensures it will get heat for defrost before the T-stat opens.
