Not sure if this is the right place to post this but i think it is transmisision related I have a v6 cavy with an automatic when driving my car normal with it in Drive the car will shift from 1st to 2nd and to 3rd fine. Now say i need to pass some one on the highway when the car down shifts to 2nd its fine until it reaches the shift point to shift into 3rd and the CEL comes on and when i turn the car off then start it back up later it doesnt come on. So basicaly the CEL light comes on if the car is shifting from 2nd and the rpms get to the shift point to go into 3rd most of the time if you are at WOT. If any body has had this problem let me know i have only onwed this car for 5 mo. and it runs and drives perfect no unusual engine or transmision noises just that CEL light comes on but the car still runs fine.

Does any body out there even drive these cars any more LOL i feel like i bought the cavy that every one owned and now could careless if it existed

1) Well what you need to do is head to the auto parts store and get the code read from a scanner. To begin, that will be the number one way to see what's going on, as reading the code should give you the EXACT problem coming from YOUR car without any of us guessing here on the internet.

2) The transmission forum is a very umm... un-frequented forum by members, so yes I understand the fact that you've gotten no replies.

3) Post this and/or search in the Second Gen forum, as many second gen'ers normally hang out in there.

4) V6Z24.com I think is still up and running and there's a lot of people in there too specfically for the second gen.

5) Hopefully this might be a problem that has occurred to other members, and they might be able to help lead you in the right direction. But go get the code read first

Good luck with your troubles, but from my personal knowledge, I haven't had any experiences like that.
