Hello, just want to say thanks for the information. Looks like something so minut can cause chaos!
Anyway, i was referred here from this post made by me
need-help-completely-lost-t631119.html#p6838626
So i took the car to the shop
I told them about your post, and they felt you were wrong. I asked them to check it, they insisted, that wasnt the problem. Changed whole fan assembly, checked trans fluid, and radiator fluid and boom, $640. (A/C blows colder now)
My problem still existed: brought it back the following week, then boom, they said it was the cluster that needed repair and to get another one
.
Cluster replaced, all gages are working perfectly, with the exception i have to get someone to fix the mileage. Its showi ng 30k more miles.. Anyway, everything was good (i never drive over 10 miles in one setting) ...... up until July 2, 2022. Took a drive from SW Houston TX to LaGrange TX. By the time i was passing Sealy TX,(1hr away from home), it slowed down on me again. Car wouldnt go past 76mph! No shaking or any other physical issues. It just would not go past that.
Took foot off gas and hit the gas to rev it up, and it would not rev up. It may go from 2200rpm to 2300 then back to 2200. I just thought to myself, my problem is not fixed
.
(20 mins later) Weirdest thing happened, im on the right lane doing about 76 in a 75 and boom
, i hit rain.. Came down hard for like 10 mins then went away. Then next, the car was fine. I was able to do 80-85 mph again!!!
Sounds: only sound i heard was whining, which may very well mean the tranny needs to be flushed. And i will have it changed in a week or so.. I might google it to see if i can do it in my driveway with 2 jackstands. But that whine almost sounds like those electric cars you hear in the movies.(if u can imagine)
My question to you is, do you really think i still have a ground problem? If so, are there instructions somewhere that te u what to do? Which wires to check, and where the wires are? And what is the best tool to buy to check for home use. I dont mind giving it a try by myself, because this car repair shop is starting to be too high for me! I just know nothing about cars electrical diagram. I know how to install radios and speakers, but never touched an ECM or etc.
