Rickster86 Neutral Newbie May 2, 2010 Share May 2, 2010 (edited) Hi bros, recently my auto transmission car is encountering engine ceasure during gear change from 1 to 2. The RPM will surge or "choke" during the gear change and i will have to hard rev to 4k and above to force gear change without engine dies. However once engine cease, few of the indicator lights will comes on. But restarting it isn't a issue. Occasionally i would smell petrol scent when my AC is turned on. I am very concerned about this issue as i went to 2 workshop so far but my car was working well when seeing "doctor". The mechanics did a diagnosis but couldn't find out any fault. Hope to hear some valuable advice on bros here. Cheers! Edited May 2, 2010 by Rickster86 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
