Default Tempremental S.O.B.

Guess what, my AU has decided it wants to play up on me. Here are some things it's done since yesterday.

- Transmission jumped into Neutral at 60km/h then quickly back into Drive.
- Different idle settings for petrol and gas (Petrol idles about 800rpm consistently, gas fluctuates between 600-1000rpm, then stalls)
- CD player skips going over tiny deviations in the road

I'm going to get the transmission serviced by Ron Hill Automatics up here in Maroochydore. I'm also going to go to the mob who installed the gas and get them to service that, cause I don't think it's injecting enough gas for combustion.

CD player on the other hand, it was working for a little while, then didn't want to play anything.

Do you guys think that the ECU needs tuning as well?

Transmission is low on oil. A service will see that right.

I'd say the spark plugs are starting to age.. LPG needs a very good spark in comparision to the ULP. A change of plugs should fix the idle problems

The AU CD players are ordinary at best, out of 25 cars that I have fitted with the deck 6 still work. :(
