Ok i have had this 2001 expy for about a month today when I started it it was running rough,and it has the code for both banks lean and misfire on #7,and then I lost 2nd gear it shifts from 1st to 3rd and then overdrive. When i manually put it in 2nd it pulls ,but does not seem right,the overdrive off light is not blinking where should I start???thanks Bob441

Sounds like a factory limp mode to me. Don't drive it with a miss. Fix your problem first. Start with plugs and coils.

fiexed the COPS

Wow #7 then was a bear ,then #2 started missing but it was EZ.I never thought that a missing motor would make the tranny slip but it seems better now thanks for the response Bob441

ok after all.....

I have been driving the gas hog very little but now it wants to wind up to about to 4500 rpm before it shifts out of 1st but if i wind ot up to 3000 and let off of the trottle it shifts better

Change the gas filter, its a cheap and easy. if its plugged up it will do what your saying in your post
