I recently posted my ride yesterday in the "Members Rides" forum. I've browsed like crazy on this site looking for an answer put I haven't found one. Here's the situation: I had lost the keys and didn't have a extra set. My car sat out for 3 weeks without turning on. I eventually found them. Fast forward to last week, I was driving down the road and the engine light came on for a few seconds, the oil lamp came on 3 seconds later, and finally the battery light came on. The car started jerking so I pulled over to the side. It finally turned off. The only way I got it started was with a battery jumper. Last week, I was driving on the freeway and the rpm went from 3,000 up to 5,000 and then down to 1,500 (I went from 65 mph to about 10 mph in a second). The car doesn't have any power going up a hill and the pedals are very stiff. I've fully charged the battery and tightened the alternator belt. I've already ruled out the battery and alternator. The important lights all work properly. I turned on the car yesterday and noticed that my gear box lights aren't working. I'm assuming it's a sensor now but I don't know where to start. I'm at wits end. Any help, comments, suggestions, messages, private messages or anything that can help is definitely needed. This is the only car I have. Sorry for the long explanation but most newbies aren't as descriptive.
