The trans on 94 up F-bodys is electroinic shift, there is no TV cable, shifts are controlled by the PCM

is you check engine/service engine soon light on?

Re: car wont downshift?

could be your TPS. I've had this problem twice one time it was the TPS and other time was IAC valve. Is your engine idling fast?

Makaveli, I've had to change TPS twice and both times they were bad the engine idled fast and the transmission wouldn't downshift. Same way with the IAC valve. I would suggest getting another TPS. And also try cleaning IAC valve.
