No Convertor Lock-up
I dont know what to do to fix my convertor to lock up... Trans temp gets up to 228+. when driving 70mph the rpm's are at 3000. check engine light is on but i dont know what the code is at this point... before when i checked the code it was a mis balance with cylinders??? I was told it was the TCC apply valve in the pump in the tranny... Everything is new and im just about to 
... Need some help guys its making me

A stall, underdrive pulley, and/or a cam can cause the pcm/ecm to "think" it is misfiring. THe misfire tables either need to de sensatized or turned off to prevent this from prohibiting converter lockup. This may or may not be your issue, but Id see if that fault that is stored is a po300, if so, thats your culprit.

Ok this am there wasnt a flash for check engine. trans temp was 115.. TC locked up through all gears an moved!!! again 70mph and rpm's was right at 1900!!! seems like it does only when trans temp warms up so im thinking its the TCC valve in the pump...

Sig says its TSP tuned. Call them and have them loosen the misfire counters. If its running fine when the converter wont lock odds are its not missing. Its prob false misfires from the camshaft.
