Park Avenue :: 1988 - Speedometer Drops To Negative Zero When Turn The Key Off
My speedometer has shot craps. This started a couple months back by occasionally dropping to zero then raising back to indicated speed. I know this car doesn't have a cable and is all electronic. The problem is that I just moved to Ohio from Arizona and can't find my little (kinda worthless Haynes manual so that I can maybe trace the wiring out and find what drives/affects the speedometer.
I don't think the speedometer it's self has gone bad because when I turn the key off it drops to negative zero which tells me that mechanism is at least still breathing.
What ancilary items I can check/replace to maybe get this thing working again? Where is the ESS? This is an 88 Park avenue
Nissan - Pathfinder :: Speedometer Drops To Zero And ABS Light Comes On When Hit Bumps In Road
I have a 2003 Pathfinder SE with 197K miles. Recently I noticed when I hit a bump in the road my speedometer drops to zero and my abs warning light comes on for a matter of seconds and then the speedometer goes back to the speed I am traveling and the abs warning light goes off. Not sure what is going on. No issues with the braking system but am concerned. I brought it a mechanic who could not find anything wrong.

View 5 RepliesFord Transmission :: C4 Drops From 3rd Into 2nd When Let Off The Gas
I have a 62 Econoline Pickup with 72' C4 transmission behind a 200 i6 engine. A normal driving speed (shifts up ok - 1st, 2nd, 3rd) when you let off the gas, it down shifts into 2nd gear (shouldn't it coast? ). When you accelerate it shifts back into 3rd. As you decelerate towards a stop it shifts from 2nd to 1st as it should. Supposedly the transmission was rebuilt within the past several years and not many miles since then. I have now was to substantiate this. What's causing this? Or am I looking at a worm out tyranny (time for a rebuild?)?

've had my R since last July and I love it so far (20,000 mi.). Recently I have run into a couple of problems.
1. When coming to a stop, my RPM drops to 600 and then as I release my foot off the brake, it dips down to 400 and back up again causing a "jerking" motion. This sounds a bit different then what most of you are talking about regarding the recall.
2. I am about to buy my 2nd new front tire due to a bubble in the sidewall. I have the Dunlop SP Sports.
Audi - A6 :: 2001 - Boost Drops / CEL Came On
'01 A6 2.7T 95k....Not boosting as high as normal...the check engine light came on the other day, P1136 code said engine was running lean. I found a small vacuum hose leak near wastegate and fixed it today (CEL is still on though). Stock boost is normally around 8-9 psi, but I am only getting 6-7 psi. Also, the boost seems to climb more slowly than it has been, and it occasionally goes into limp mode (only 3-4 psi). The turbos were replaced about a year ago with all new blue hoses. There aren't any other symptoms, no weird noises.

I have had several issues getting to where I am now. The Neutral safety switch (MLPS) is new. The tranny has been rebuilt with new TC installed as well. The truck shifts out fin 1-2-3-4 until I hit 57mph. At 57 the od drops out and will not reengage until I drop down below that speed. I ran a diagnostic test on the TPS with my multi-meter and it all was in range on the voltages and was smooth through throttle movement etc.

I have an old (fourth generation before 2005) and low performance bmw 316 at its 40 000 km (its been in garage for some time after it's done 19 000, then i bought it, so everything rubbery is problematic), i feel like it burns more fuel then it should considering its performance , since its almost 20 sec. from .naught to 60 , it has a more noticeable engine braking compared to my 2005 passat 1.6 (almost twice as effective), and a higher fuel consumption, when i stop the engine when idling, the rpm needle (or whatever it is, not a native speaker) drops to 0 immediately like in a millisecond or so.. no inertia no nothing, oil and everything is regularly checked up but i think there is something deeper going on.

My car hasn't had the gps icon on for about a week. I've also had gps problems with my phone. I downloaded a utility on my phone that tells me how many gps satellites I'm connected to. When my car is off with the windows up and sunroof closed I'm connected to 10 to 15 antennas. When the car is on it drops to zero. I stick my phone out the window and it goes back up the 10 to 15. Also when I turn the car off it goes up to 10 to 15.

1993 accord LX- Thought I had the problem solved by taking the 6 small port plugs out of the emissions system and cleaning up all the buildup plus opening the ports back up that were plugged.
When I put a vacuum gauge on the black rubber hose going from the control box to the EGR valve there is an initial buildup of vacuum upon acceleration but within seconds it drops off to zero. I switched control boxes and used one my brother had from his 91 accord he parted out and still had the same result.

View 5 RepliesPrius (Gen 2) :: Battery Drops Gradually At Mountain
I recently bought a 2004 Prius with 104,000 miles on it. When I try to go up into the mountains I only get a few miles or up to 1,000 to 2,000 ft. elevation (from 300 ft. starting) and the battery level gradually drops from 6 bars to 1 bar. The red triangle light and check engine light comes on and the car speed gradually begins to drop even if I continue to press on the gas pedal. I have only gotten down to about 35 MPH from 60-65 mph before stopping and turning around. Within a few miles of turning around the light goes off and the battery goes back up to 6 bars and works good going down hill.
The dealer I bought the car from has been working with me to figure out the problem but so far we have not figured it out. He has replaced the main battery as well as the inverter/converter. The mechanic was with me on a test drive to the mountains and had his car computer plugged in while we drove and experienced the same thing. It gave the code for the catalytic converter so we changed the entire CC/muffler (one long piece) and still got the same code. The battery indicator on this car has never shown more than 6 bars. I personally think it has a bad "Gas Engine" or something wrong with the gas engine.
Prius (2010-12) :: Mileage Drops To 2 Bar Within A Mile
When I bought the car in 2009, if I had 4 bars on my traction battery at night, it would have them in the morning. Now I can leave the car for 2 hours in moderate weather. When I drive off, it will show 4 bars but driving in eco mode w/o ac, it will drop to 2 within a mile and stay there for several miles before it starts to charge again. My overall fuel economy has dropped 10%.
View 19 RepliesGolf/GTI VI :: Rev Drops Back Below After The Initial Warm Up
I warm up my car in the morning and let it sit for a bit before I drive away, but after the initial warm up (You can tell when the rev drops back below 1k that it's done), I can sometimes hear a high pitch noise that's very subtle from within the car. However, the moment I walk towards the engine bay and open it up, the sound disappears. If I give gas to rev up the engine, it'll also disappear, but as soon as the rev returns to idle ~800 rpm, the sound appears again. Each time that im at a stop light or park(on idle), the sound that look more like a vibration appear but not everytime, it look inconstant. I went to the dealer and they laugh at me blaming the cold weather and a little piece in front of the engine that I don't remember the name that regulate the fuel.
