Hello,
I have a 1991 2.4 Turbo Diesel automatice surf which has developed a problem since repairing a blown head gasket.
From a standing position the car tries to move off in 2nd gear, then throws back to 1st when I put the boot in, back up to 2nd as speed increases but won't go in to 3rd or overdrive as it should, does sometimes mostly when i really put the boot in, and the tacho is bouncing all over the place.
These are the "exact" same symptoms I had about 2 years ago which turned out to be as simple as earth straps not being put back where they should (rear of head to firewall)... I've checked all earth straps = all in place, tried a different ECU in the Surf = no change, not getting any error codes out of the diagnostic block.
Any clues from the gurus out there would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Adrian
