Not sure where to start, but I will say I've searched and read and tried some of the things I've already seen on the forums, but I was looking for a little more insight.
Sunday I left the house for the first time that day, so the car was still cold. Backed out of the parking spot and started to drive out toward the street. Once I accelerated from the parking lot, the car started to take off then all of a sudden felt like it missed a gear.
After that, it felt like the trans was just low on fluid because it would drive but I had to give it tons of gas to get it moving. I turned around to come back to the house and at a light, it wouldn't move forward at all.
Turned the car off for a couple seconds, turned it back on, and was able to drive back to the house.
Checked the fluid and it was full, still red, and didn't smell burned.
Monday, the car wouldn't move at all in any gear, forward or reverse.
Disconnected the battery and held the terminals together and left it overnight. (per a recommendation on here) It helped slightly. Car would move forward on its own power but only after basically flooring it to get it to move a foot.
And it basically did this with no warning. Though for a week or so it would surge while driving at highway speeds. I read on here it could have something to do with the TCC solenoid.
Anyways, I'm hoping it's something other than the transmission biting the big one. Something in the PCM or a bad solenoid.
Can anyone give me some insight?
