Dreams Shot down...

[DubbDesigns 10+ year member]

I had plans to get a decent system, maybe a 15" type r and... don't know what kinda amp, I didn't have enough time to decide. I had all my money planned out... and then my car strikes again:furious:

I was at school, and it was lunch time, so I went out to my car and started her up. Backed out of my spot and took off down the road. Get to the stop sign and put it in neutral to rev it up, since the engine was still cold. Well I put it in neutral, give it a little gas, but the car takes off:eyebrow: Double checked my shift position, it was on the [N] so I was tryed to rev it up again... again the car took off. So I left it in neutral and gave it gas, driving down the road at 40mph now, and the engine is about to redline, it wont go to second, so I put it back in [D] and it shifted:eyebrow:

So I make it to Burger King and go inside and eat my lunch. Go back out to my car start it up and back out, put it in [N] to see if it will rev, and it does, drive a little bit and I check again. Now it is running just as normal, except my check engine light comes on:furious: So I get home and check the ECU knowing that the ****** is going to have to be replaced, but according to some nissan forums, they say that my codes from the ECU indicate Knock Sensor and an EGR solenoid valve problem:crazy: So I am going to be spending all my tax money and have to sell the crappy system I have just to keep my car running:crap:

I don't think those problems came from me driving in neutral.

Hopefully, next year's tax money was going to be used to rebuild my engine and ******, but it looks like I am getting a head start on the ******

if it's engaged in neutral, it's already ****ed up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah, the ****** is pretty old. I think it has about 270,000 miles on it, so it lasted a pretty long time considering I drove it pretty hard when I got it:uhoh:

The knock sensor and EGR solenoid are seperate from the ****** problem, so I don't think that could have caused it.

you forgot to mention the type of car you have?

It seems to me, based on your description, that your shifter linkage might be "out of whack." If it's not, then your problem is inside the transmission.

sorry to hear that man.

The transmission probably just got locked up. It's pretty old, and has a lot of miles on it, it's life is about to end.

The EGR solenoid is what I need to replace, and hopefully this will get rid of the knock sensor error. Maybe I read my ECU wrong, if the llight comes on again I will read it again to make sure it's right. BTW it's '95 Nissan Altima GXE

Has it done this before? Because I can't figure out why you'd redline it in neutral, and expect it to shift.

270,000 on an 11 year old car and you are gonna dump money into a new ****** AND engine eventually?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/waycrazy.gif.f4a380c3f94043939fd369defd9e6be2.gif
