imi-7 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just drove the car today after a few days, but for some reason its driving weird - I'll try to explain the problems:- From a standing start, as soon as I press on the accelerator the idle revs DROP from 900-1000 rpm to less than 600rpm, the car slighty 'jerks' then sets off. The car seems to move up the gears smoothly. But sometimes it drops down the gears in a 'jerky' way, not the normal smooth transition, I have checked the gear oil and it seems fine. I have the car booked in with Phoenix next week for a service, but would appreciate if you guys could advise on what the problem could be. Cheers.

Ian C Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Could be your throttle position sensor is slightly off and you are coming off the idle switch too soon? -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Just a suggestion, but try disconecting battery. Should re-set itself.. My soop drove really crap after not driving it for a week, really sluggish, but gave it a little wot and after a few mins seemed to correct itself?
