Problems - water got under the hood!
      31/03/2008 18:48

Hello!

I ran into some very puzzling problems after the engine room got wet. (Not with pressure, just water falling over the engine)

First problem is with the throttle - i press the pedal like 5%, so the engine should keep RPM at around 1,200 or so - then it starts to rise and fall rapidly, it goes between 1000 and 2000 like i would be smashign the throttle on and off even im not.

When i press a bit more, RPM rises normally to maximum with no problems - unless i press the pedal so far the kickdown would step in - then the engine "thinks" for 1-2 seconds, and then continues accelerating.

Idle RPM is fine, and the engine "runs" fine, fuel/air mixture seems just fine and it gets good spark so the problem has something to do with the electronic throttle or something?

And the next problem comes up when i hit around 100kmh or so, when the transmission should "lock"... when it SHOULD happen, it will instead put 3rd gear on, and it wont shift up nor down no matter what i do, only thing i have from that on is P,R,N,3 - nothing else. 1, 2 and 4 just wont go on even id put the stick on that number, use the M mode or slow down.

And kickdown wont work, ever, at all. It will always think for a second or too keeping the RPM stable, like waiting for it to shift down, nothing happens and then it just keeps accelerating like nothing happened..

Very puzzling, any help would be very welcome, as it sure aint cheap to take this kind of problem to the shop...
