Feels like the car is working to hard "to get up and go" the car was given to me with 228K on it. I'm not sure how the car was maintained, was told not to change the ****** fluid because it may in fact make the issue much much worse. Did an oil change but not paying attention put a much much thicker oil in, any advice would be helpful on my next move. Thanks all.
What fluid were you told not to change? The automatic trans?
SOURCE: Had trouble when I put it in Drive. Car didn't
If you have no dipstick on the transmission, you will see a fill plug on it.(usually a red cap) there is another plug that needs to be removed on or near the passenger side axle extension (on transmission). That plug needs to be removed on level ground and trans oil is added through the fill on top till it begins to run from the open plug below. (I know, dopey design) but that's how it's done)
Testimonial: "Thanks! I'll give it a shot. I'll try that before spending thousands."
SOURCE: Check ingine light is on , car is shifting hard ,
PWM solenoid aka. fluid pressure switch under the side cover in the transmission. Common problem!
SOURCE: Best said if I steal
You are going to need a really long funnel for this. The reservoir is below the alternator near the firewall. Probably need a flashlight to find it.
SOURCE: My car sometimes revs up
If the idle seemed to go out of control further then the issue may be with the idle air control valve, it may be dirty or may have gone bad. Check also the fuel filter and loose wires and vacuum hoses.
