All is well, replaced the RCM/k40 and battery. replaced conductor plate and plug along with a full service. that plug is a bear! still in limp mode but the alternator was not charging so I have pulled it and ordered a regulator. I still can't get my scan tool to communicate with the TCM but will try again once I get the charging system up to par. You have to love these old cars because no one else will! Either way I will not let it beat me. Happy New Year! Over & Out !!
