The Raven Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Ok folks please help me. Test drove a brought a uk spec last night. All seemed well with no issues or lights coming on. This morning i took it out ..........o fuck 1. turbos dont seem to boost (this morning) 2. auto box is changing gear at 3k revs even when kickdown 3. From standing revs to 6k then splutters and slips down the revs before i let it go back to idle. 4. O/D light has come on and blinks at me. I should add its not showing any engine warning lights while all this is happening however a stored 41 has shown up Im not a happy bunny at all please help before i go back to the guys house which wont be good for anyone.

tooquicktostop Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I would check for error codes first, the auto box could be something simple, fluid levels ok?? When did the car last have a full service and with who? Could an intercooler pipe have come off, that is worth a check as you dont mention smoke so could be a popped hose Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu306 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 What is the temp gauge showing, is she coming up to normal working in a reasonable time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 1. turbos dont seem to boost (this morning) 2. auto box is changing gear at 3k revs even when kickdown If it's only changing at 3k the turbos won't have chance to spool will they? Sounds like a 'box issue to me, not the end of the world. A service toyota 6 months ago There's your problem:d Hope you get it sorted anyway.

RobSheffield Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 From the error codes thread thats a TPS (Throttle position sensor) fault which would cause most of those faults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) OK this is getting stupid. Took it out it all starts working fine again. Kickdown vrooooooooooooooom. The for no reason goes back to changing at 3k and trys to stall on idle. So i rev to see what happens low and behold gets to 6k then dies slowly again. I leave it (running) then do it again and its fine revs all the way though. All this in the space of 8 minutes from working to broken. Still no engine warning lights coming on,temp is normal, zero smoke. O/D light no longer flashes Edited September 26, 2008 by The Raven (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds like you have water in your fuel from condensation in the tank ... was the car standing for a while before you bought it ??? Try just leaving it ticking over for about an hour to vapourize the water slowly.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its the tps shouldnt it stick the warning light on as its making me panic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Code 41 is a problem with the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). I would say that would cause most of the issues you've reported. Just thought I'd mention that seeing as nobody has mentioned it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
