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.

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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
