The check engine light comes on while stopped and the transmission will not up shift out of first gear. If I pull over and shut engine off for about 5 minutes and the restart, the check engine light comes on, but the transmission does shift properly. I have had PCM replaced 2 times and numerous other things done. It now does it sporadically.
