ive done many searches but this is my story...its an auto 90 gs...father's lazy mechanic has had possesion of my whip for the better part of the past 4 months- first it was new tires and a bad motor mount, which was replaced and returned only to endure more problems...
suddenly battery light would flicker, then soon enough the power went- june 23 i parked it for an alternator, after six weeks the mechanic got off his *** and replaced it....
that day i drove it and everything was fine- now the 'S' light blinks continuously and its sluggish from a stop...im getting codes 1,2,3,7,8....defective shift, solenoids or whatever, right? is my mechanic throwing me for a ride, or whats really going on?

 

man sorry to here that ****...it sounds crazy...un fortunately i know nothing on this

but free bump

 

Sounds shady...

Next time, consider investing in a FSM and a decent tool set. DIY>mechanics.

I can't offer any help w/ the lights and codes. Sorry.

from the research ive done, im thinking its a short or faulty wiring...

-btw the abs light came on sometimes along with the flashing 'S3' light

-btw i have plenty of tools and manuals...

 

anyway thanks for the help

 

What are the codes??? Each number should be a different problem. If they all seem to be the same area then maybe he cut into a wire harness when fixing something.

You need to get a new mechanic. New motor mounts only take a couple of hours to install, and that is at home with no lift.

 

codes 1, 2, 3, 7, 8...the symptom is a slow, sluggish start, as if it were starting from 2nd or 3rd gear...

-i agree with finding a new mechanic it took him 6 weeks to do an alternator
