What's going on with the 4WD system?

Driving to work today, noticed the 4WD torque-split gauge doing weird things. Taking off from traffic lights (very sedately), the tacho would reach 1000 rpm, and the gauge would jump to 35, and stay there until about 3000 rpm, then drop to 0.

Also, reversing into a parking spot, the car's behaving like its got a locked diff (couldn't tell which end - F/R).

So, what's going on?

Take it to an auto electrician and get your alternator checked out for voltage the atessa and hicas are very very sensitve to voltage, and can do strange things if the vltage is surged or is too low. This is just what it could be could be other things as well

Thanks.

I've had worse batteries than this, and its never done anything like this before.

I've decided not to drive it until the problem is solved, but I had to swap cars around. How does 35 kg-m torque to the front wheels reversing out the drive :eek:

I'm afraid its the clutch pack in the transfer case, but I'm told it would usually not provide anything to the front rather than lock up the front.

5 minute job.

First, get diagnostics to confirm Error# 43 (TPS).

Then, plug the fricken plug together properly! I'm sure I put it back together properly in the first place, but because the 'lock' is broken, I might have dislodged it when checking the Idle Air Correction (under the throttle body).
