Bit of a mess....
« on: January 02, 2016, 11:30:10 PM »
So, my room mate has a 94 sidekick with the computer controlled toyota transmission and it is doing some WEIRD shit.  Basically if you are VERY ginger with the throttle, and lift shortly before it shifts it will go along just fine. However if you give it any sort of gas it will act as though it slips into nuetral.  This is combined with another intermittent issue where the engine will run into what seems to be a rev-limiter at around 3500 rpm....Both the transmission light and the OD light do flash on intermittently as well......She did take it to a shop that looked at it for about a month and were stumped.  Fluid is full and clean.  We also have a later model sidekick (97 I want to say) that she ran out of oil.  It had a light rod knock so I replaced the rod bearings.  Sadly it also has a lack of power and some piston slap at higher rpm.  But rod knock is gone!  If someone on here is in the Colorado area and is in need of a couple of these for parts that may also be an option.
