Hello Everyone,
Just found and joined the forum and this is my first post...... So hello from Kentucky!!
I've got a 2002 PT Cruiser with about 120k miles on it. This car is giving me fits.
I'm just not sure where to start. I've literally searched for hours on the interenet over the last 3 days and can't find anything that really matches my issues.
First of all while driving down the road if you are giving the car anything but mild throttle it seems like the rev limiter is kicking in at about 3800 rpms. The car will jerk until you let off and then change gears. Occasionally it would not change gears above 2nd (about 40mph) My first guess is that for whatever reason the rev limiter is engaged all the time.
So after a little reading, I think that it may be the transmission range sensor. So I order one and put it in last night. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem.
A couple more issues are that the reverse lights are not coming on at all. The care will also start in any gear.
When I bought the transmission range sensor I also got what was called a neutral safety/reverse lights switch. I haven't put that in yet. It looks like I'm gonna have to dismantle the dang car to get to it....
So what am I missing? My first thought was the TRS would fix all the problems put it didn't. I'm a little lost at this point.
Any advice?
Greg
