ok took my TR in to get a new steering rack and new engine mounts got it back and i noticed that all gears were not changing as normal like they wernt kicking down and they wernt going like 1st 2nd 3rd until say 4500-5000rpm i dont hammer the car or anything at all and dunno why it is doing this.
so i looked in gregorys manual and it was saying somthing bout having gears stuck in 2nd and 3rd and said it could be a faulty Throttle posistion sensor so after i checked fluid which was good i noticed that D light wasnt lighting up on the dash didnt think anything of it.
i pulled the TPS plug out and there was all water in it so i put some cotton buds in there cleaned the water out plugged it back in took it for a spin it chuttered really bad twice nearly stalled then seem to go back 2 normal working order like it was.
would this have been the problem of the high reving gear changes or was it just somthin else dat just fixed itself??
the mechanic said it was the ECU or somthing but i didnt think it did that as i had have the battery out b4 and it hasnt done it.
