September 2nd, 2006 05:02 PM #1hi all,
my sister is now driving back to manila from baguio and when we she reached the NLEX, our 1994 esi AT civics (82k mileage) engine light stayed on. and then she noticed that even when she was maintaining a constant speed of say 60-70kph, the automatic gear shifting would shift by itself between 2 gears (eg 3rd-4th). and the all of a sudden even the speedometer stopped working.....
the recent history done on the car was:
- changed timing belt 3 months ago and had it re-tightened 1 week ago (non-original timing belt as parts).
-changed leaking water pump 1 week ago
-changed leaking plastic radiator top at denso 3 months ago
- engine oil is ok
right now she is still on the NLEX on her way home but i texted her to pass by a gas station to check the transimission oil (last time i checked it was 5 months ago and it was ok pa). will post again if the car made it home (hope so)....
hope someone can give advice.....
thanks

Highly recommended that lumabas na siya ng NLEX and have it checked muna...baka mas safe na sunduin nyo na siya instead.

September 4th, 2006 05:39 PM #5thanks for the inputs guys!
what is really weird is that she was still able to drive home...and now....there is nothing wrong with the car...the engine light is no longer lighting up and the speedometer now works again....grrrrrrr, kakainis!
i would prefer that is was broken so i can bring it to a shop and show them the problem.....
do you think maybe the problem is caused by high speed driving? does overheating cause this?

high speed driving doesn't have anything to do with a check engine light unless you cause something to leak (applicable only to some cars). Overheating doesn't usually cause a check engine light, it may, but not in a sudden... just check the sensors, or rather replace them already...

any idea on how much these speed sensors are? (rough estimate) and which stores i can buy them from?
then i will take it to a car shop for them to replace it.. since i dont know how to do these things myself...hehe
thanks
