Have a pressure test done on the transmission to check for internal mechanical faults. run fault codes to check for electronic faults.. Check condition and level of oil Have the bands and clutch packs adjusted

Testimonial: "This "expert" is just that! My level was too low. The cold weather is when it started, checking fluids is usually the first thing I do, except during storms. But I thought I would check the net. Then went out checked fluids, exactly the problem. I filled up and took a ride, no problem! Just from my short description the person EXPERTLY nailed it. Thanks!"

SOURCE: Transmission wont shift into reverse

By the grayish color, fluid being thick, and metal shavings, the clutches are pretty much worn out. It's time to either rebuilding your transmission or just installing a good used one. The fluid normally should be a reddish color. The gray is from the actual clutch material going away.

it is possable/likely a bad ECTS (engine coolant tep. sensor), this can cause the injectors to allow to much fuel into cylinders and cause a low compression and or flooding situation, good luck, marty

Jeep Grand Cherokee shuts off at idle while stopped. RPM fluctuates then engine eventually dies.

your idle air control valve is going out located behind the throttle body.

Where's the crank sensor located? 1987 f-150

should be behind the engine; towards the top and front of automatic transmission (what would be the bell-housing). Hard to get to, must have u-joint socket. Looks like a little "flashlight" or cylinder 2 inches long 1/2 diameter. It is magnetic.
