Help with skip shift problem
Just yesterday i got in my car only to find out that the check engine light was on. So i proceeded to check the codes to find a PCM code PO803. Anybody out there know what the fix on that one is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the solenoid connector - it's on the driver's side of the transmission about 2/3 of the way up. The connector may have come loose or a wire may have been broken. If you don't have a CAGS Eliminator, now would be the time to install one. If you already have one installed on that connector, it's possible it went bad and needs to be replaced.

Instead of installing the CAGS with the supplied plastic zip tie, use a rubber insulated ADEL clamp found in any electrical aisle (ACE, TRUE VALUE, HOME DEPORT, LOWE'S) .
Use a #10 or #12 clamp and secure it to the same recommended transmission ear with a 1/4-20x1" bolt/nut. The transmission gets to hot to install the plastic CAGS w/o potential for damage.
