My 2000 TJ VRX auto recently developed this problem intermittently. (2nd time in 2 weeks)
Basically when lights go green after stopping, my VRX doesn't respond in D.. Step on the accelerator, it's very hard and engine doesn't rev at all/ sitting at idle. Try move gear selector to P and back does not fix it nor does turning tcl on and off..however switching car off then back on does the trick and as if no problem ever existed.
I suspect it might be my traction control, as a couple of weeks ago going a long downhill at 90kmh the engine drops to v low revs and tcl light comes on and can't be switched off...prior to that (for the past year maybe) I sometimes experience a 2 to 3 seconds sensation of no acceleration (engine don't respond to accelerator) going down the same hill. Also possibly gearbox? Car has done 170ks
Just wondering if any of you experienced this and have a fix..as its frustrating to get stuck at the lights..
