Re: 1994 216i Cabrio with Honda DA16A8 Engine - Auto Lock Up

I have hopefully got this issue fixed - it appears the lambda oxygen sensor was faulty - now replaced and so far so good with the autobox torque converter locking up again.

Re: 1994 216i Cabrio with Honda DA16A8 Engine - Auto Lock Up

Yes - already studied the wiring diagram - the auto lockup is directly controlled by the ECU - so the mystery is what logic is built into the ECU that drops out the auto lockup?
