Strange problems w/ the vx

[Ruflyf]

Well I havent really found any solutions to my problem. So unless anyone has any info looks like I'll have to start changing out random parts.

Here are the symptoms:

1) While driving normally, (sometimes) I'll get what feels like a little miss in the drivetrain, it immediately goes back to driving normally. No trouble lights come on when this happens.

2) While driving normally (sometimes) the vx will downshift, causing the rpms to jump up to 5kish. When this happens several trouble lights come on (a/t temp., winter, power). Out of reflex, I release the gas pedal and after 1-2 secs the tranny goes back into the correct gear and the trouble lights go out.

I have just recently replaced the tranny fluid and filter to eliminate it as being a possible cause. The next step is to remove the interceptor just to eliminate it as being a possible cause. Other than that, its replacement time


Other things that may be related. (NOTE: These following issues have been addresed in other posts, so I'm not looking for info on them directly, just wanted to mention them in case someone thought they all might be related.

As mentioned in a different post, my tach is jumping around. Its acting similarly to the old style speedometer cables when they started stripping out. Since there is no seperate tach sensor, I dont know whether its the comp causing this issue or maybe the guage itself.

Also as mentioned in another post, my ABS light comes on after driving a couple miles and then stays on til the vehicle is turned off.


P.S. Thanks for all the posts on similar topics I have left, I am not trying to sound like I am looking for other opinions, just wanted to combine the issues into one post.
