Hey Guys! I need your comments / advice.
When I was on my way to work, I happen to pass by EDSA / Estrella. It was raining then and on that area is flooded above-ankle deep. Then, my car began to loose power and it came to a stop. After about 3 mins., I cranked the car and it started, but once I press the accelerator pedal, it stops. I managed to get the car on the side. Waited for 5 mins, then car starts. What I did was put the tranny in the "2", and the car slowly creeped out of the area. What do you guys think what went wrong?
I appreciate your comments & suggestions.
Alwayz Yummy, I thought kasi, nawalan ng koryente kaya ayaw mag-ignite..so pinasukan pala yung a/t...pwede kayang magpa-flush sa mga petron centers? saka palagay na rin kaya ako ng bagong atf kasi, kahit naka on yung o/d, tagal mag-up shift, sa tingin ko lang, kapag di pa uminit yung langins sa loob, eh di pa sya mag-up shift....
oo pwede sa mga gas stations. dapat na rin palitan a/t trans oil mo, parang tagal na yan di napapalitan ah..baka blessing in disguise diin yan para magawa mo na agad mag flush ng transmission habang wala pang major problems kundi mas lalong malaki gastos mo in the future.
BlueBimmer, pwede na siguro yung Petron ATF, or Castrol ATF? Ilang liters kaya kapag nai-flush out na yung lumang atf? pwede rin kayang mag-lagay ng atf additive? And also pala, since city driving lang naman ako, ilang kilometer ang itatakbo para malaman kung dapat ka na magpalit ng atf?
In addition to that, question lang Guys...bakit nag-stall yung engine? inilagay ko sa "N", nag-crank lang sya, at ayaw mag-start. So, hinala ko, baka nawalan ng koryente sa ignition system.
I doubt if ankle deep water can reach your auto tranny. Baka mabilis takbo mo then nag splash yun water sa engine bay mo. Nabasa yun mga sensors kaya di mag start. After a few minutes nag dry na siya because of the heat ng engine. Anung car ba ito?
pag check mo sa ATF mo, refer ka sa ATF-faq thread na naka-pin dito sa workshop..para makita mo condition ng ATF mo... at compare mo sa pics na nandun...
8 liters, and remember-->its not the brand that is first priority when buying ATF: its the spec: DEXRON, DEXRON2/3, MERCON, C4, etc--iit is also stated in the ATF faqs thread na naka pinned dito sa workshop..
dapat di over sa F....at dapat tamang spec, not brand...
kahit wala na yang treatments na yan..unless ok lang syo to blindly-spend 1000 pesos for a 500 or less per bottle--sana fully synthetic atf nalang nilagay mo...
Kapag matagal bang mag-upshift, does it mean that kulang pa ang atf ko? nakapag-karga na ako ng 5-liters sa galant mpi. Actually it takes around 5-10 minutes bago lumagay sa normal shifting (going to o/d).
delayed upshifting ka. pwedeng cable lang ang adjustment na kailangan. may adjusting nut yan katabi ng throttle cable. (two cables ang makikita mo dyan, ang isa papunta sa accelerator, ung isa papunta ng AT. ung papunta sa At ang kailangan mong i-adjust)
wag mong sobrahan ang lagay ng atf. mag "foaming" ang atf, lalo papangit ang takbo
i doubt it is the tranny pero when in doubt look at the dipstick and see what the color of the atf is. should be reddish. if it is creamy then may halo na water yun.
