as most know, i put a tranny in my car....when we tried to drive it it wouldn't go into 1st or reverse....we took the slave cylinder of the car and bled it and put it back on and now it goes into reverse, but still not 1st....we had to put a different battery in it because it wouldnt start....everything seemed fine, drove it around the block, but once it got to about 4500 it seemed like it was hitting fuel cut....we got it back to his house and it started actin really strange....it would idle up to about 1500 and then the CEL would come on, it would backfire and then drop to about 600rpm....it did it a few times and i shut it off....tried to start it back up and it wouldnt...another dead battery....any suggestions?

Do a boost leak check for starters. After that, your going to have to drive it around for an hour or so in town for the trims to find their happy places. Most likely that's causing a good portion of your problem.

The idle surge comes from your idle being to high. I'd check that the controler is pluged in. As far as I could tell the idle fuel/timing maps only go up to 1600 RPMS. The second you hit 1601 the ecu sees 0 TPS and thinks your decelerating. Just take it easy and slow. She'll be back up and running in no time.
