In drive I push down on the gas pedal but the car won't move. It will then jump and drive normally?
Question: as I put my car in drive and push on the gas, my car will make the sound as it should if it were actually moving, but doesn't at all even if I floor it. Then finally it will just jump and start driving normally. I have a 2003 Ford Explorer and yes my engine light is on. Even if I stop at a red light this will happen. Any info is appreciated.
To me it sounds like your torque converter has broken. You do know it will leave you stranded very soon.
Maybe Tranny fluids getting low,
take a quick look, Yellow or red funny dipstick towards the back of the engine and i believe yours is checked running in neutral, brake on of course(its written on the stick too, check that before anything)
Or bring it to a quick lube place and ask for a quick level check, cheap-free.
After that you gotta take her in
- 2001 Ford Mustang brake light don't work when I push down on brake pedal? So my 2001 mustang won't shift out of park because of brake lights. When I push the brake pedal the lights don't come on but when I push the brake switch up with my hands Manualy the brake lights come on? Any ideas why the switch is not working when I push the brakes and lights come on when I push it by hand?
- I have a 2007 Ford Five hundred that when I shift when it's off it moves. But when I turn the car on & shift it won't move It's a TBS transmission. It's not making any noise either. I was told it could be computer on the transmission?
- I have 1998 Ford Windstar as of now when I put in drive/reverse it won't move. It just revs. The car starts up fine? It started while I was driving down the road and I pressed the gas to go a little faster and my rpm went up to 4 and went down. I have an automatic too. There's no burnt smell in my transmission fluid stick/tank. I just left the gas station before this happened if that helps. Any ideas? Someone suggest my second/reverse band and I have never heard of it.
