Hey everyone. My 94 Auto VR has a lot of problems that have all come about just recently -
Engine dies occasionally while driving
Splutters occasionally on acceleration
Slips gears on hard acceleration, not even full throttle
Battery light on a lot of the time
Oil light flickers sometimes during hard braking, when changing gears and when at a stop.
There's suspension issues and clunks.
Ordinarily I'd sell the car or parts for whatever I can, but this car has sentimental value and I don't want to get rid of it. So I'm really not sure what to do.
Will check for codes this week when I am able too. From there I'm not really sure what to do. I can't be spending money on things I don't need!
I'm planning on taking it to a reliable mechanic and hopefully get a list of everything that's wrong with it. But I don't want to get ripped off. So any opinions or tips on where to start? What would you do?
