So I just purchased a CRV from one of my good friend's dad. They have had the crv for quite some time, trans has never slipped but he said it has been dying at stop lights and stop signs.


Well I bought it and towed it home. Thinking it might just be a distributor issue. I try to start it and the car lunges forward like it's in gear. It is an automatic and I tried it in park and neutral. I'm guessing the torque converter is locked up. Any ideas or input? Thanks.

 

Not sure if its the convertor or not, it could be a solenoid. I have a spare torque convertor from a 98 if you need one.

 

that exactly what it sounds like. Now you need to see if the tcc solenoid is getting power when it's not supposed to. Have you tried pulling codes yet?

 

how many miles? have you checked the tranny fluid level/condition?

 

lol I'm an idiot... I checked for top dead center and left the ratchet on the crank pulley, so when I tried to start it was hitting the axle, making the car move forward.

 

Alrightyyy then....

 

thats funny hope it didnt wreck anything
