I know someone posted a link to a site with the codes, but I can't find the link. I got a p0700 today.

I hadn't driven my little indeglow for about 3 weeks, and went to take off today for an errand. I let it run for a bout 30 seconds (probably less) and dropped it into neutral and coasted into the road. I put it in reverse to keep it going, and AHHHHH no reverse. :eek: I idled it in neutral for another minute, and tried drive. It would barely creep into the driveway. And, of course the ses light came on. After I got it back in the driveway, I let it idle for another minute, and tried reverse -- NADA! Since I was back in the driveway, I shut it off, let it sit for a few seconds, and started it up. YEA, the tranny is working fine again.

I figure the tranny lost it's prime in the converter, and it isn't really a problem. If I let it sit this long, I'm going to let it idle longer. I want to check on the code though, and I'll probably drop it by the dealer to read and reset the computer. If anyone knows what the code is, or a link to a web site that I can cross-reference the code at, I'd really apprieciate it.
