ok so I took the 94' Z out today and I noticed that my air wasnt blowing cold and it was starting to rain, so i went to my uncles to recharge the system, by now it was raining pretty hard and I had my hood open and the engine running for about 10-20 minutes during the rain, when i left his house my car would not shift from 1st to 2cd until about 30mph and it wuld slam in gear (no lights on the dash tho). I drove back to my house (about 2 miles away) and shut the car off, I went out 10 minutes later and it was perfectly fine, I drove it to the trans shop but they cant check it unless the problem is happening, after that I drove it the rest of the day with no problems at all..I know that trans is ecm controlled, could the ecm have gotten wet and messed with the shift sensor??? anyone had this occur??? Trans was rebuilt last summer and fluid is nice an pink, today is the only time it happend and only after it was parked in the rain with the hood up..
