We need to know what year your car is to determine what the code means.

sure it was code P0744, I can't find any codes starting in the 700 series.

I think it has something to do with the TC (torque converter) for your automatic transmission. This could mean that you're low on fluid or there's something wrong with the TC itself....have you noticed any change in the smoothness in the way your car shifts?

+1 to LA02MAXRead this:http://autorepair.about.com/li...h.htm About 1/2 way down. It explains it well.

yes i have notice a diffences in shifting....it takes like a while before it evens kicks in....question...is there a way to get a better tourqe converter. also to when ur at a dead stop and u like granny petal the gas it like revs up and then kicks in which kinda make the tires squak....isn't that the converter.

There are better TCs available. $$$ You have already found level 10, but before you drop 1k on a TC, you should build your engine a little more. I think your problem is one of the shift solonoids.

the dealership i guess found out what the problem was...there going to take care of it... the guy told me that he might have to replace the transmission....which i guess is a good thing i've only had the car for like 3 days not even.

thanx for the help guys.
