Ok, so I'm sure y'all are tired of me ranting and raving about what is and isn't wrong with my car so I'll post all my questions here.
So I live in Kansas and its getting cold. My car has seemed to be kicking into neutral at red lights and stop signs but I think it might be my torque converter. What happens is the light turns red and I stop. When the light turns green I press the gas and nothing but revs come. after a few seconds it will kick in and go. I've been trying to pay attention to it and I dont think it goes into neutral, it feels engaged and it seems like the transmission is working, but it doesn't seem to be catching somewhere else. Could the torque converter be the problem???
A while back I posted about a possible bad head gasket leak, but I think I figured it out. I'm pretty sure its the temp sender. Last night I was in Wichita 30 mins from where I live, and on my way home the temp guage boosted up to high and I thought it was weird. I pulled over anyways. I looked under the hood their was no smoke but my radiator fluid was a tad bit low, but not enough to cause alarm. I did add some water for safe measures. Now on the way home the temp gage didn't get hot but it was jumpy. I know this is probably from the temp sender, but the fan wasn't kicking on when it got too hot so I had to hit the A/C and it's like 35 outside already, so I was freezing all the way home. Should the new temp sender help solve the fan problem or should I just hook up my own switch so I can turn it on manually????
Also I asked about the boost in a different post but does any one know where I can find or get a gauge made to fit where the equalizer sits??? I have seen a few pics of a 3 cluster gauge set sitting there and I'm sure they were all custom but I have no idea on how to do it. Does any one have an idea???
