1997 V6 Camaro won't downshift unless driven recently?
Recently bought a 1996 V6 Camaro.... not sure if it is base or rs...The car
typically runs and drives fine, it only happens first thing in the morning(or
when the car has set for a few hours). When the car is started first thing in
the morning, the car shifts up fine, but won't downshift under second gear.
Here's the kicker, if we drive the car around the block, turn the engine off
for a few seconds and then start the car back up again, it drives fine for the
next few hours. This fixes the problem every single time without fail! We
can drive the car for the rest of the day just fine after this... unless we let it
sit for more than a few hours(more than 3 typically) then it will do this all
over again. What in the world could this be? Security? Computer? At first
we thought maybe a valve was getting stuck open, or maybe it needed a
solenoid replaced... but the consistency with it "fixing" itself makes me think
it might be a computer problem?
The check engine light is on as well as the security. check engine codes
didn't point towards anything from the transmission...
