Sorry guys, Car was been fine up until Wednesday this week. The Car had a miss on Thursday but I found a dead coil easy solved. The auto transmission fluid was replaced Thursday this week. Since then it wouldn't change gear without stalling. I have checked and cleaned the IAC, Replaced all spark plugs, cleaned air filter box and replaced air filter, replace all vacuum hoses but still no go. and replaced the sump gasket.

Well it certainly sounds related to the fluid change.

Don't bother with the O2 sensor, that won't cause that.

Does it just die or stop suddenly?

What trans fluid was used and how much?

Won't be the oxy sensor. Will either be a problem with the converter (clutch stuck on perhaps - which could be an electrical issue) or an idle control issue. Can you keep it alive by keeping the throttle open or will it then drive forward? Easy way to diagnose both issues at the same time!

Sounds like converter is locked. If you're at the limits of your diagnostic abilities at this point, you're probably going to have to tell him to get it to an auto trans specialist. It might be something simple like a wiring fault, but it might be something mechanical that got triggered or otherwise happened when the oil was dropped.

yep thats what I said.

Pretty sure you mentioned that it does when put in gear like 4-5 times. Righto, thanks mate, wasn't completely sure about that until the 4th time I thought you were just pulling our legs.

What fluid did you use? And how did you change the oil? I have heard of people running the wrong oil (wrong additives/weight) and it would actually weld the transmission and diff together after a while. If it attempts to go into gear it's not the selector. I'd say she's done farked.

Hey UCD

When even trying to diagnose a problem it is often a good place to start at what has been changed as in majority of cases this is a good place to start ( not broke before changing anything but now is after changing something )

You are saying that the trans oil has been changed but you were not present when the oil was changed ( is this correct ?)

And

You had a problem with a coil ( did you test the car after you changed the coil) ?

The problem you are describing sounds like a converter lock up clutch staying locked up ( google how a converter works and you will see some vids on YouTube)

Basically a converter clutch will lock up at a certain rpm, I.e. 2500 rpm stall = lock up clutch will lock up at 2500 rpm

If your lock up is locked up from the get go then you will stall the engine either in reverse or drive.

If the engine is standard then the converter should lock up around 2000 rpm I think.

Not sure how you could test if it is the converter but I would imagine that if the engine was kept above the converter stall it should run. I.e if you took the car to 2000rpm and changed gear each time above 2000rpm or stall then it shouldn't stall in theory.

Now I have had Eff all to do with auto,s but that is what I have self learnt from the net and YouTube, reading books, not having a dig here but look at the net or ring a auto trans shop.

All the best mate, oh and before anyone else mentions

Stick a turbo on that De

      Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
