I just got my car back from my paint job. I noticed there was alot of dust from the overspray and all. However, when I turned on my car, my overdrive light keeps blinking. What is that?
Second, my miles per hour arrow goes crazy. Even if I just turn on my car the miles per hour goes from 0 - 60 back down to 0 then up to 140 then back down and then it does not move at all. My odometer, the one that counts each mile is moving by itself. I know my cluster was in good working condition. It also affected my transmission. My car will rev up high and the car won't move even with the car rolling, almost like the tranny isnt catching. So i started with L then moved my way up to 2 then back to drive, then it starts moving. but it seems like my car is downshifting almost like someone is turning off my overdrive. Do you guys think that my intake or injectors got dirty from sucking in all that dust? Can I use injector cleaner? Overall, this is a bad experience for me especially when all these things were working before I dropped it off. Maybe the body men were messing around with my car. I just hope someone out here can assist me figure this out. I'd appreciate alot. -------------------- 94 Celica GT

I think this is hard issue everone has said what the problem could be and there all right.I think you need to go through one problem at a time.
your saying there a shift problem which can only be coming from the tranny area which mean check ever cable and wire that runs to the tranny.see if there any break in the wire.Also you said speed level does not move.there a speed sensor on the tranny that control that.Example to answer your two week ago.I put in a used tranny from japan shop it was test and warranty I install the tranny and one week later it went on me.I put another tranny from the same place no problems now.from what you say with it going in neutral I had the same problem with my oringal tranny and then one day tranny just would go in reverse.I think it sign of the tranny ready to go.check fluids and see if there enough in the tranny get the code to find you what they are. second this could be a wire problem said by the last person where there is so many place to look where it would be hard to explain where it is.it could be the wire harnes it could be the computer it could be a fuse going off.where everything could be fine and one drop of water on a wire that is cut or broken the car will act werid. third you have to understand this is a 10 years old car or less mean who ever paint it could have paint over a good ground connection or bend the wire and put them back in and there your problem. To finish off take to someone who know something about car I think personnal this is something that a master toyota tech should look over the car or spend money rebuild the celica or get another one. I hope this help and but judge where you live it burea right is there a toyota place to take it to. well good luck and hope you solve the problem |
