Any help/pointers would be appreciated and thanx in advance
Asked by GP27Answer
scan for codes first. this may be anormal condition
Would the codes register? even if there is no warning light/indicator that comes on
yes an dno it sounds like it's an intermittent problem that sometimes can be caught on freeze frame. As the majority of mechanics normally deal with everything on car except transmissions that'a why it 'good to go to them as they may know of something that causes it. It may be because of recent trnas fluid change the valves are freer now an doperating like they should sometimes but not all the time. Or it could be that it is getting poor electrical connections and causing the problem. the trans guy will be able tocycle the solenoids and pressure check it to see if anything doesn't look right or may be on verge of a failure.
Went to a a transm shop, did test drive with no sign of the problem.
Did a scan and he says there are two codes P19111 and P1813
Says the EPC solenoid needs to be replaced and at the same time overhaul the trans with all new seals and replace clutch plates if required.
Do you think its ok?
i dont' come up with either code but i come p with 1811 and 1814 which both deal with trans. if you want to drive lit like that for a while then go ahead otherwise get it fixed and be done with it.
