Helo i just converted one of my 745ts to manual(m46) transmission. What connections do I have to change to get the OD to work and also since the change the idle speed is up to 1500 rpm and it won't start on it's own. I suspect that the car's computer thinks that the car in in drive, therefore not allowing it to start and also giving more fuel to turn the torque converter. What can I do to correct this? The engine will start with a remote starter button attached to the starter, so no problem with the starter, just no signal from the key switch.

Merci

Yvan

    There is a switch the stops the car from starting while not in prak or neutral. You can disable this switch by simply connecting the two wires running into it. As for the idle, you need to adjust the air control knob on the IAC. Twist it in a bit and see if that lowers the idle.

    I don't know about the overdrive but I have heard something about changing the relay. Check the 700/900 FAQ down at the bottom under AW-71 to M46 conversion.
