Sounds like it is the Throttle Position Sensor...do a fault code check to confirm: Checking error codes VR/VS (Revised)
If this fails, the auto cannot tell where the throttle is.

EDGE3 its a auto
hako when i done the fault code it was all 12's i sat there for awhile and it was still all 12's is there another way to test the throttle position sensor
Sounds like the tps should put a code up but the only way to tell is by putting a new one in they are expensive try using a mates one first. Ebay ones arent very good either.
would one from a vn work in the vr
not sure possibly if its the same engine

There is a test for them in the Gregorys manual with a multimeter - someone has one for a VG @ $10 on Ebay ...VG may fit if it has Ecotec...think it does. VN may also fit-----eyeball both or do a search on Google for TPS and see if they have same ID.

on holiday
emotec one turns backwards to vn so no good
I tune the oldschool way fear on the passengers face and knuckle colour cant go wrong
tabbacco is still my favorite vegetable
vr is not a echotech but i got a tps sensor from a vn and it looks the same so i will try tomorrow and let you all know thanks for the help
Gave up on VL's
How about the shift solenoid for that gear?
i thought it might be the 1st to 2nd shift solenoid but not sure thats why i thought would ask for help

If it was the solenoid it would have left a fault code.Originally Posted by mackcrackie

Maybe check the VSS....also do a codes check again....disconnect, inspect and reconnect all cables to the transmission...when you put the new TPS in, did you check the drive adaptor was there - sometimes they get left out and the TPS will not work. (presuming the TPS is the same as VS)...will it manually start in 1 then manually shift up the gears OK?

here's a thought.
Bands a rooted.
there is no kickdown cable because its electronic spoke to a transmission place they said its ether a bad solenoid or a faulty valve
