Now what ?

well my D4 in the cluster was flashing, so i pulled out the codes for the tranny. i got 1,2 and 8 which are the lock-up solenoids (codes 1 and 2), and the shift solenoid (code 8). Well i looked in the mitchel repair manuals and tested the solenoids. They passed all the tests, the resistance test and the current test. Why did i get the codes in the first place ? Should i jusr reset the ATCU and leave it like that ? The car is running in safe mode right now

I honestly don't know much about the auto trannys, but I think you're on the right track. Clean solenoids, etc. before you spend big bucks taking it to a dealer.

i finally fixed it. it runs so smooth i fell in love with it again. what i did was to rev the engine in every gear till 5000 rpm, and as soon as i shut it off i removed the plug. needless to say how muvh shavings i got off of it.

OT: anyone knows the specs for adjusting valves and timing ? that's the only thing i have left before the car is a champ again

Congrats on getting everything fixed! I know how nice it is to fix a problem, but I don't usually have the skills to fix stuff myself You seem to know your stuff though
