Hello,
I have an 1999 1.4CL Auto and i've been having a few issues with my car of late but recently i have been noticing that my car is over revving when i am speeding up (gently not putting my foot down) so when doing about mils per hour i'm doing about 30 - 40,000 revs and when i go up to about 50 i am doing over 60,000 revs. i have recently changed the spark plugs, HT cables and added new oil. I changed the transmission oil as it was never changed from the previous owner and i thought that was the reason that why my car was jerking forward when it went from gear 1-2, it would do this when the car was cold and once ,y car would warm up the issue went away. But after a while the issue seems to have come back (the oil was thick and black). I am wondering if this is all related in some way and wonder if anyone could help me to try and figure out what is wrong with my car. Other than that it is an amazing drive for an 18 year old car !
I also don't know if this is relevant but I have also had the cam belt, distributor cap and rotatory arm changed lately and the car has only done 64,000 miles. When I bought it in September it was standing for about 6 months. I have also put WD40 on the HT cables and spark plugs and the damp was causing my car to misfire. My worry is that because I have had so many problems with it i am just making them up now :/.
Ps. Sorry for the bad wording I am dyslexic so its really hard for me to explain things XD. Thanks !!
