The car is a 1998. 2nd owner. 148+k

My really main concern was, he stated that, "when you move the shifter into tiptronic mode, it will cause the check engine light to go on because there is a short or voltage problem in the transmission shifter. This does not affect driving in tiptronic mode at all or the other driving modes (d4, d3, d2, d1, reverse, neutral, and park). The tiptronic does not affect the cars performance in anyway as it is just a voltage problem."

Now what does this mean when the check engine light only come on when putted in tiptronic mode but doesnt has any slipping and whatknot? Can it be a sensor or should I stay away from this car?

I've owned a 2000 Lude before and never had this problem. It was also a auto/tiptronic, took it up to 160+k without a single problem. But mine was babied.

 

Sounds sketch. Ask him to give you the actual code; the CEL doesn't come on for no reason.

 

Yeah, as easily as these trannys like to crap out, I wouldn't really chance it being "just a voltage problem"

 

Don't buy it......

 

yea, i was kinda feeling iffy about it. It's just that hyper car buying moment haha, i'll be patience this time and wait and not jump into anything.

 

Just get a manual transmission. You're a guy, aren't you?

 

lol

 

So everyone that owns an auto is a girl? If the car came in auto or manual......I agree

 

it so that even if i do want an auto, my ***** are still bigger than yours.

haha *the car is for my gf smart ***.*

 

Then tell your ball-less gf to get a Civic.

 

Don't buy an auto prelude !!!!! you're better off buying an automatic civic or teg..

 

 

ya i like ball-less gals, unlike you. buwhaha
