had my car sitting in the driveway for a week, since the tranny is out. Neways i start the car up and the gas guage is good, but after i started reving this **** happens

 

Looking at those pics I noticed that your car is a little low on gas...

jk. I'd say its a wire problem?

 

lol yea, i got the new JWT gas limiter, i could drive without no gas for long periods of timelol...

i hope its not my fuel pump

 

Viagra.. ...


My car did that after I did a gauge install, but it went back to normal in a few miles.

 

werd? i haven't touched the guages for years.. well about over a year since i did the leds. but my car is starting to freak me out, even though my tranny is shot, dam car doest rev past 2k rpm in any gear

 

Need 5$ for gas? I'll spot you. :x

 

Odd I always thought you were auto....

 

I am.... when i meant any gear, i meant, Park, Reverse, Nuetral,Drive

it doesnt matter this tranny commin out and 3rd one going in

 

if you tow me to the gas station lol

 

hell spot me $5 i will pm you my paypal...

 

lol aite coo


dam this is a sign that my car has given up.

 

Third tranny!!! How many miles does your car have? I'm still on my 1st one and it is still going strong, but mine is a 5 speed.

 

Yeah they probably never replaced the first one

I have 232.6k on mine and it's on its way out.......for the 1st time.

 

We shouldn't joke about stuff like that, there may be guys over 50 on the forum!!

My g/f's a dr. and you'd be surprised how many men want that stuff, at $8-$11 a pill you gotta wonder if they really need it or they're black-marketing it. Lucky insurance kicks-in and only allows so many per month, like once a week or something! *LOL*

 

Dennis my car has 82k miles. 2 years ago my first tranny blew at 72k miles, this is when i first got the car and used to do burnouts and shiet, but then the this tranny i have now has only 60 k miles. The tranny is strong but i did a stupid mistake not rebuiding it before i put it in. I had my car for about 2 years and bought it with 71k miles now it has 82k

lol i put 10k miles on my car in 2 years....

 

limp gauge could be the sending unit
no reving past 2k sounds like a maf issue

 

well. the car feels like its puling when i rev it in park, so thats the trannys fault


as for the sending unit, where is it? did something ground out?

 

Take out the gauge cluster and check to see if all your wires are secure. Could just be a loose wire.

 

i doubt that since it lights up...

 

leave it be, it shoudl return to normal after you turn off the car and start it up again, mine does that when its low on gas sometimes but it always goes back to normal, does it like once every 4 months.

 

i belive the sending unit it in the tank along with the pump and float.

my cousin did a roll back in his auto del slow and broke the tranny. it wouldnt free rev in park, it was like the tranny was in gear with the brakes pushed really hard. he also lost reverse. it sounds like your tranny is fubar'd

 

The sending unit is in the tank, its a lever with a small soap shapped sponge thing on the end that floats as more gas is in the tank raising the guage. Something could have happened and that and thus this.

Have you hit any pot wholes, and hard bumps?


To get to the sending unit, you'll have to pull the back seat off, take off that grey cover, pull off the two black tubes, and carefully lift the sender out. Haynes has a way of testing it to make sure it work. Its a deicate part so if you buy a new one make sure there not tossing it around , dropping it, thinking its like a PCV valve.

 

lol come on Marlyon its NYC pot holes is what are roads are made of..

i drove the car into the garage and the tank went back to normal so i guess im good. thanks for the help though guys, i thought one of my wires were bad...

neways swapping tranny in the snow!! lol ill take some pix

 

Don't you wish your tranny went in July,bad time of year for car repairs w/o a garage, good luck. Transmission should last way longer than they are for you, very costly to replace every 10K

 

bahahahahahahahahahahahaha.... seriously check the wiring behind the cluster

 

True, NY roads are like swiss cheese.

Glad the problem went away, Good luck with the tranny swap. Take lots of pics.
