MY 1996 INTREPID LOOSES POWER AND SHUTS DOWN ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I DRIVE IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON EVER SINCE ONE DAY I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO COAST. AND WHEN I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE, IT WENT TO SECOND GEAR INSTEAD OF FOURTH AND IT WINDED DOWN IN RPM'S REALLY FAST. I WAS DOING AT LEAST 75 MPH. EVER SINCE IT'S BEEN SHUTTING DOWN LIKE THIS, I DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO RESET THE COMPUTER. AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH THE EATX RELAY OFF. WHEN I PUT IT BACK ON AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED, IT STAYS IN LIMP MODE SOMETIMES, OR IT WILL SHIFT THROUGH ALL 4 GEARS UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. IS THERE A CHANCE THAT I MIGHT HAVE MESSED UP ANY OF THE SOLENOIDS?

THE LAST TIME THAT IT DID THE SAME THING, IT GAVE ME A CODE THAT MENTIONED ABOUT THE EATX RELAY GOING OFF OR CLOSED CIRCUIT. SOMETHING MADE THE RELAY SHUT THE CAR DOWN. THE CAR AIN'T HERE RIGHT NOW FOR ME TO GET A CODE FOR YOU. BUT EVERY TIME THAT THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR WON'T START UP AGAIN UNTIL I PULL THAT EATX RELAY OFF. SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S SOMETHING IN THE TRANNY THAT'S ELECTRICAL LIKE THE SOLENOIDS. DON'T YOU THINK?
