Possible alt noise or transferpump noise causing sensor to drop out. Try running separate ground wire from PCM (trans controller on rightside firewall) to ground terminal on battery. I have had some luck with that fix.

Put Naveone or BD noise limiter on the APPS wire to computer behind air filter.

There are afew grounds under the driver batt, couple on the pass fender well and two on the fire wall behind the turbo area. Cleaning these solved my tranny hunting issue.
