my first gear seem to loss power
My Bongo have this intermittent problem. My first gear seem to loss power after i drive it about 30 minutes. I have to step on the acceleretor harder to move my Bongo. But this problem seem to come and go. Its very diffucult for me to explain to my local mechanics. Do anybody have any advice? Thanks

Maybe the spurious Mitsibushi soleniod you replaced is kidding the ECU to start the van off in 2nd gear

Re: my first gear seem to loss power
The solenoid i replaced it last year in Feb08. My Bongo was running fine until now. I have this problem recently and can't fix it yet because it is intermittent. i thought it was gearbox problem. I replaced the Auto tranmission fluid but still make no difference.dandywarhol wrote:Maybe the spurious Mitsibushi soleniod you replaced is kidding the ECU to start the van off in 2nd gear

If you put your location in your profile, we might be able to recommend a local garage, or even a local member may be able to help

Re: my first gear seem to loss power
OK, when it next does it - select "L" and "HOLD" - if it isn't selecting 1st gear normally in "D" then it should do it in LH.
That will tell you if the 'box is at fault or if you've maybe a fuel starvation problem. Plenty bumf on that in "SEARCH"
