I have the pfc banzai auto wiring id be willing to part with if you decide to go that route.

I read your statement as it is revving higher than normal between changes? Do you mean like (in manual trans terms) you are slipping the clutch excessively before a shift, or waiting for the revs to be too high before you shift? Is it doing this for every gear or only some of them? Are you engaging every gear or will it skip any of them?

The first thing to check is if your ATF is filled and of good condition. I assume this is correct?

If so and you are still getting excessive slipping or high revving, it can be any number of things:
1. A stuck line pressure solenoid valve
2. Accumulators not operating properly
3. Throttle position sensor out of adjustment
4. Vehicle speed sensor not operating properly
5. ATF thermosensor not operating properly
6. Worn clutches, one-way clutches, and/or brakes

If it was #6 I doubt that you would get a flashing HOLD indication. So I'll rule that out for now unless you have multiple things wrong.

Also, with the same error popping up it is unlikely that it is just a faulty connection. I would say that one of your connections to the sensors is either severed or a sensor is bad. You said this car has been sitting for a bit? any chance that some vermin has gotten into the wiring and chewed it up? Checking continuity to the PCM is probably the easiest thing you can do. Once you verify all the connections are good and you are still having problems I'd check all the sensors for functionality.


Oh, I know you arent going to do this but switching over to a PFC and Banzai would not fix anything to do with the transmission. All the signals and operation of the trans would be unchanged (the whole point of the harness).

i put about 500mm of oil in it thats all i had and went for a drive , hold light was flashing and in drive when it hooked into top as you got up to 100 k and take you foot off the gas revs would drop but it wouldnt drive agin untill the res got back up to the speed of the box ? or something then gave it a wash and then hold light was off so went for another drive all systerms normal then it started flashing agian then back to normal so will get some more oil and see if thats why


dont you worry dan you got to fix my 3 so hurry up and buy it so i can re spend the cash hahahaha

Yeah, again make sure ATF is the correct level that is first and foremost.

Your rev dropping thing may be the transmission not achieving lockup? I dunno, difficult to tell without actually being in the car to diagnose.

Oil is slightly overful, And trans is not locking up, Wont change from 1st to 2nd smoothly, Jerks when changes gear. Problem went away then come back then went away now is back. And wont go into 3rd till 100kph. Maybe trans ECU ?

I would say that it is unlikely that it's the computer, but it is an easy check if you have access to another one that someone doesn't use due to a swap.

I would guess it might be your wiring/grounding or a faulty sensor.

I have an EL prototype auto ECU that came with my FD when I bough it. It ran well I don't know much about EL prototype but the FD ran well when i got it.

got hold of a transission guy over here and they said tps playing up wil find out on sunday when dan turns up to have a look lol but its 2 long flashes and 1 short and no falut on the ten and ground so will have a look at it and maybe get a vid of it doing it
