I have exactly this problem with a 93 C2. It coincided with an immobilizer problem - having disconnected the immobilizer I find the tiptronic warning light is lit and not only does manual not work but the supposed "4th gear default" described in the handbook seems to make the engine rev very high. It's sitting in a repair shop this morning so I hope I'll know later...

Is electrical power outrage a problem that involves geography?

Yes, electrical power outages can be influenced by geography. Factors such as weather conditions (e.g. storms, extreme temperatures), geographical location (e.g. urban vs rural areas, proximity to power plants or transmission lines), and topography (e.g. mountains, coastlines) can all impact the frequency and severity of power outages in a specific area.


How do your RPMs stop working?

RPM is the abbreviation for revolutions per minute and is a measurement of the revolutions of the engine crankshaft. Literally, if your "RPMs stop working" your motor isn't running. However, you are probably referring to the tachometer, the meter that displays the number of rpm's your engine turns, that has stopped working. There are two basic types of tachometers: electrical and mechanical. Electrical tachometers calculate the engine speed by counting electrical pulses while the mechanical tachometers have a mechanical cable attaching to the engine, generally the ignition distributor or camshaft. So, if your tachometer is not working you have either have an electrical problem, a broken cable or the meter itself has become defective.
