RPM's falling backwards
 
When im cruising at 45 and the rpm's are at 3k they start to fall back quickly like the car is flooding or getting too much air?

You were probably going up a hill in to high of a gear. Downshift.

good suggestion Paul.. but.. how did you know he doesn't drive an auto?

if going uphill isn't the answer then definetly go check this out at dealership.

A-Tone, I'm assuming because if it was auto and the rpm's started falling it would downshift, just like Paul suggested.

That's actually a good call EZ *slaps self* I just looked at his car and it's an auto :eek: Now it strikes me as an issue.

Wow, a slushbox having that problem.

Probably a sensor malfunction.

Bahamut...you are right .. last night while idling in traffic the ses light came on and I dont know why.

I did have a slight mod but took it off 2 weeks ago and I drive 100 miles a day so the censor should of reset by now :dunno:

and the rpms would fall backwards on a slight incline but the motor was not reving high...just around 3200 and then just starts to fall backwards slightly and it would continue to fallback until i gunned it

Have you reset the ECU yet?

OZ_Rally Oct 31, 2002 10:57 AM
