Hi,
Please help me out! I want to drive home for Xmas to see my family, but I wont be able to until these problems are fixed!
I have two main problems with the car:
1. When its below 40, my car does not like to start. It usually takes 3 cranks to get it going, but during the first 2 the car will sputter some, and then on the third she finally fires up. After ive driven it for a few mintues, she starts back up with no problem.
2. My AOD has been slipping a lot. When i brake hard or when i take a turn hard the gears will not engage and the engine just revs until it slips into place. This problem also occurs less after the engine is warmed, but its become a more frequent problem.
I just read the post about the "AOD problems" and I'm taking my car into a transmission shop as soon as I find a decent one here in Raleigh, NC. As for the cold cranking problem, I had my fuel pump replaced last summer with a 190 lph. Ever since they put that in, my car idles a lot lower than before, around 600-800 rpm at rest. Would this have anything to do with the problem? I see puffs of white smoke come out of the exhaust after I start up, but that could be because it's just been cranking so much. Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
