I thought it sounded like the lock up control solenoid, aka shift lock solenoid. That sucks...what kinda shop is that guy running.

I'm concerned here but I guess it'll be better diagnosed with an exhaust like he said.

Just throwing this in here, but when i did my auto to manual swap in my integra, i messed around with the idea of swapping out the auto cluster to a manual one, but when i did, the car started to surge at idle... I had to rig it so that the aftermarket tach i installed fit in there, while the circuit board that is behind the cluster remained connected... Something back there controls the idle dude... If you need pictures let me know...
I did drive it to the exhaust shop yesterday.
(1) It lacked power
(2) It never died on me
(3) Idled very low and sputtered when I would take off
(4) Lacked low end power big time but then would sort of get a little power and go
(5) While driving down the Interstate it would sort of load up and lose power then go again
(6) Did act like it was getting very rich and did smell a bit fuelly but that's probably open header for you.
It was a very cold day so could it just be cold air being sucked back into the header causing the O2 sensor to go a bit crazy?
If you're going to disregard the information that someone 'in the know' has already given you regarding the effect of your exhaust and/or open header on the complaints that you're inquiring about, and continue to take the advice of the shop that's REPEATEDLY led you astray and given you wrong information AND done hack-ass work on your car, then you're on your own.
All the information you need to get started on PROPERLY diagnosing the problem has already been posted, and I'd be willing to bet that the HELPFUL information and/or the PROPER way to begin diagnosing your problem - which has been posted here already - is coming to you at a much lesser cost than whatever the shop it's at has been charging you.
Civicious runs his own shop. He works on HIGH end cars. We're talking Ferraris, newer Mercs, BMWs, etc. 100k plus cars. This dipshit working on your car doesn't hold a candle to Civicious
After reading thru all this... I have to ask... WHY an automatic SWAP?!?!
Things may work out I think but right now I'm ready to convert it to 5-speed and sale it.oh.... i see... sorry to hear....
I've got a diagnostic tree that involves using a test harness that I don't have, and I doubt you do.
The fault is for an open circuit in one of the wires from the TCM to the ECU. I'm working on figuring out which one it is, I'll spend more time looking thru the wiring diagrams this evening to find out what terminals the wire goes to/from...my guess though, is that the wire is missing from one of your harnesses.
Can you possibly post a photo of your ECM/TCM and the jumper harnesses? Even a simple cameraphone 'this is what I'm working with' snapshot will work. I just want to see how these harnesses are connected to them, I'm not worried about being able to see individual wire colors and such.
