 94SE 2.0 Auto same trouble
I picked up the above mention pile in seemingly excellent condition, drove it home (about ten blocks) and even out to the store a couple of times before it went kapoot. I knew when I bought t that the IAC needed to b replaced so the car sat a couple of months until I could afford to do that. In the meantime, I started it and pulled it in and out of the driveway about once a week just to keep things lubed.
One day I pulled it out and noticed some tranny fluid dripping along the way. The car didn't wnt to take off in drive but would go in low 2 or low 1, although the O/D Off light started flashing. The next day, there was quite a puddle of fluid and Ifound it to be leakin from the side pan (valve body cover). I tracked down that gasket and replaced it and was alamed to see the entire valve body area covered in a muddy brown sledge. Very little fluid drained when I pulled the pan so I prepared to pour a full load of ATF in when I was done but the stick read a lil OVER full with only 1 quart (yes I checked it warm). Now when run the motor you an hear a very prevalant high pitched whine in there that elevates with the RPMs. Sounds like something spinning dry.
I am at a total loss on this. Anyone have any ideas? If 74eldo came out with a spare good ECM/TCM I'd be interested in pcking that up and trying that. |
