>My son and I just picked up another TR7 to use as a parts car. It's in
fairly
decent shape and did run recently - won't turn over now.
ISTR from my early days with sick cars with automatic transmissions that it
is
possible to pull (or alternatively push) them to start - similar to popping
a
clutch on a manual tranny car. The process was to leave the transmission in
"D" and get the car to about 30 MPH and it would start. Perhaps my brain
cells
are even fewer than I thought, or maybe I should stop smoking that Maui
wowie.
Anyway, can anyone confirm or refute this process?

The old GM powerglide transmissions would do that (BTDT) but that is
because they had a second, driveshat driven pump (probably just for this
function) and the newer ones left that out to save cost.
Bottom line: Probably won't work. Sorry
Dave
