I replaced my engine with a used f22a6 about two weeks ago. Well since then when my car shifts into 4th my d4 light starts flashing and my toque convertor is not locking up. Only code I have got is #2. So ive bypassed the wires to the solenoid, and ive flushed the transmission. Im still geting the same code and I was wondering if it could be that the motor could have came out of a earlier year with the sport shift? Or if I prossibly damaged the torque convertor? I appreciate any input

There were two automatic transmissions available for your car that year, the APX4 and the MPWA. Which one do you have? Do you notice any fluid leaks?

I was thinking maybe it could be my throttle cable that is causing this. The only thing that makes me doubt this is the fact that the tcm gets fault code to which a short in the wiring, but since ive bypassed that and flushed tranny I guess I will check the cable adjustment tomorrow. Have you heard of transmission throttle cable throwing a code like this?

Ok well I replaced the thermostat, the coolant temp sensor, and I adjusted the throttle cables. The car drives good shifts into every gear, but once its time for lock up the d4 light starts flashing and no lock up. I bought a new lock up solenoid and I bypassed the wires from the solenoid to the wires by the firewall. Im still getting tcm fault code #2 and I have no idea why. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

Ok so I havent had the chance to get an ohm reader yet, but I went underneath the car today and noticed that the shroud for the fly wheel was not flush against the transmission and I think I may be leaking a tiny bit of trans fluid. Then I remembered that I removed one of the tranny fluid lines thinking I was going to remove the trans too. When I put the line back on I didnt use new crush washers. Just wondering if either of these things could cause the tcm code #2

Low fluid and/or low fluid pressure can cause quite a few problems, yes.
