Hopefully there's some folk about watching to add invaluable advice...
The odd issue of poor/nil idle when starting from fully warm is consistent, and annoying. I have a few days off, a little spare time, so I shall tackle this- I have the spare ISV and Throttle Position switch/pot from the older/lower mileage 3.6V8 setup as a spare.
Today, leaving a motorway service station, the car decided to stop in what seems like 3rd gear- 3000rpm=60mph. I actually felt the car lurch a little as it downshifted quite abruptly. I stayed in drive and just drove slower.
When I finally got home, shifting into reverse was quite a harsh shift, likewise into drive.
Turn off ignition, waited, and turned it back on again, and all seemed fine.
Is this related to the running issues? Or is it another problem waiting to hurt?
The rolling shell V8 that I'm breaking is still available, but I have very little time to salvage anything. Do I need to get at the multifunction switch?
This is the original transmission from the 3.6 that is playing up right now, and it didn't do this previously with the 3.6 setup.
So the main difference is really the throttle pot/throttle position switch.
I hope someone can shed some light.
