Yeah I guess that would have helped to keep on the same thread sorry. I certainly agree that I don't believe that going through a wash would be more than driving through rain. I am just grasping at straws since its the only common denominator in the fault sequence.
Just from what I have been reading on the post, it seems like the Input and Output sensors on the transmissions are sensitive to oils, fluids and the like I thought it might have been an option. But I guess I will keep driving it this weekend and see.
When it acts up, (My problem that is) it seems like I place the car in reverse and it hesitates to engage, also then going into drive you get a hard bump as it engages. It acts like in limp mode but no check engine light. After soft reset (turning ignition key off then on) it fixes for a mile or so then the crossfire goes into full limp mode. I have read two ways to clear this fault.
A) Turn the car on and off up to 10 times and the sensors should reset or
B) Disconnect the Negative battery cable for a few moments.
I was just asking y'all if any ideas. I wish I knew more about these little cars. It reminds me of my Triumph days. I used to have to work each weekend on the TR-7 and Spitfire to keep them going. LOL Sports cars I guess.
Anyway thanks for you help and thoughts. I told the dealer I am am member of a great forum that is teaching me a lot. Perhaps all dealers/service departments should join this site.
