So I just upgraded to a 70mm bbk throttlebody and spacer. The only thing i didnt hook back up is the cruise control cable. For some reason i cant fit the old cable back into the new hole. But i figured it wouldn't make a difference cause i dont have it anymore. Anyway i got it all hooked back up, set my tps at .98 and took it for a spin. Drives completely normal until i step on it.... it doesn't engage. Just revs. Like my tranny isnt catching. Btw it's an aod. Tranny worked perfect before hand. Could it b a vacuum line? I'm completely stumped.

That's probably the throttle body transmission kick down cable. You definitely need it to drive. It used to have a rubber bushing that would deteriorate and when it did, no more shifting.
