Problems - water got under the hood!

Hi,

the lower voltage the bulb is intended to be faced with, the lighter it will be. So if you use a 12V lamb, it's probably to dark, I can't tell you. Take whatever they suppose

Tried to run the car after it was unused for 3 hours - all problems gone even i didnt do anything to it....

Well all works now, wonder how long itll last!

Hi,

hehe, it went dry, I tell you
Take care the next few days if everything is fine and if, be happy.

By the way, where do you come from?

Regards

Finland

Worked well for the rest of the day, only 1 problem - transmission went to the limb home mode after i carelessly changed from N to D while there still was some RPM in the engine after reversing - tho it went back to normal after i restarted the car and no problems.

I ordered the stick to measure the ail level in transmission, better be safe than sorry!

Tip of the day:

Removing the upper part of the plastic engine cover (Yeah, its made of 2 pieces!) so the air filter shows up gives nice little grunting sound @ high rpm from the air intake

Now if i just had a replacement pipes to remove the last muffler i could really bring the V8 out on this beast!

Hi,

well, having a look on you name would have discovered that you're from Finland. Lazy me

Removing the cover can lead to hot air intake and can cause he engine to have less power and a more rough idle op. Be aware.

Good point there, ill think of something

But how did the throttle control affect the transmission? Doesnt make any sense!

Hi,

makes sense: The transmission control utilizes the throttle position for gear-shift decisions. You have probably notified that not only a kickdown causes a gearshift, but also and mainly in S-mode accelarating can cause the transmission to shift down one gear, even when not making a kickdown. So the transmission control has to know the throttle position to decide whether or not shifting down (an up again!). If the signal is weird, misleading or just impossible for any reason the transmission control makes a fall back to failsafe mode (3rd gear) and stays there to not cause harm to the transmission.

Problem solved.

Strange throttle behaviour was solved by drying the connector, and the transmission problem was because the transmission control switch next to the transmission was pretty much corroded, propably got wet inside!

So anyone else with same problem.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
