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

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
