hold button?
 

started the car to head off to lunch and as soon as i pull away it kinda hesitated some and then my hold button began to flash on and off....anybody have any idea whats thats about?

Hold "button", or hold light?

If the light is flashing, simply stop the car, do the KOKO routine.
(Key ON key OFF) a few times. Cures mine every time.

I think the A/T's ECU gets confused at times......

lol i think if the button was flashing id have a bigger problem ;-) i started it up again a bit later and it got itself unconfused....how wierd

Yes, it is sort of a crazy deal.....
I have always regarded automatic trannys with a certain amount of awe.....I mean, you push this go pedal HERE and it all takes care of itself....but these computer controlled ones are even more voodoo black magic.....
Sometimes when I am just cruising along and stomp the shit out of the gas to go for a blast, the transmission is sort of like, "Pip pip, sorry old chap, I'm having a spot of tea right now....come back later..."
or maybe it is HAL out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that right now..."
This is why it is good to drive in "S" a lot.....takes some of the control back!

P.S. I love your avatar....that is classic!

certianly is impressive isnt it....except of course when its having its tea break....i use S to avoid that alot as well.....feels less likely to have a tea break ..especially on a nice backroad or something when you need power now...not the most oppurtune time for a ecu confusion moment (well he is smashing the pedal....so i guess he wants to go.....well maybe he dosent.....no im pretty sure he does.......ok go!)

glad you like the avatar...first time i saw it i was like wha.....oh yeah that kind of rotary..:)
