Well, the repairs were done on 09/25. Today something odd happened. Very odd! Drove it to work today and it never blinked. On the way home, jumped on I-40 west bound and started cruising at 70 mph. The tach was locked steady at 2000, couple hundred rpms less than it has been as of late. Started playing the throttle, the tach barely moved. Evidently the lock up happened and it was holding steady. Will take it for a drive the next couple days, long cruise on the highway, see if it maintains. If so, then apparently it is either a delayed reaction to the repairs, or whatever was wrong fixed itself. I guess we'll just see, won't we. LOL!
There was mention in several articles on P0741, that wiring could be damaged. Could it be, that with the major coolant leak I had, coolant sprayed all around the engine bay, that something got wet that didn't like being wet. And since the coolant leak is fixed, it dried out and is doing what it's supposed to do?
