This indicates severe wear and impending failure, it will probably need to be rebuilt or replaced.
There are many, many things that can cause the MIL to light up. You will need to have the problem diagnosed by first reading the codes and going from there.
There are a number of possibilities. Some of these vehicles had a problem with a loose ground wire on one of the shift solenoids. This is addressed in a dealer TSB. There can be other issues such as internal wear on servos or spool valves that can cause this behavior. If this is the case a rebuild or new transmission is indicated.
The speed sensor on my Villager is on top of the transmission near the starter. If you look down at the starter while standing on the driver's side of the engine, the speed sensor should be to your right, down on top of the transmission housing about a foot or two toward the rear of the vehicle from the starter. It will have a wire going from it to the firewall right about where the instrument panel is located. Note: The starter is under the area of the throttle.
If it is an automatic transmission going uphill it will downshift to a lower gear for more torque.
my guess would be a catalytic converter going bad. you can remove the front oxygen sensor and drive it. if the problem goes away then it is probably the catalytic converter. nth njth ///////???????????????????kldghavnivaetahdsngahe
the transmission could be going out or slipping or your transmission fluid could be low
You have poor or defective wiring/voltage, dirt or water in the tank, or you are using poor quality replacement parts. These fuel pumps are not prone to trouble.
yes it will especially when the torque converter is going into lockup
Your motor oil going bad would cause that. That is in the crankcase, not the transmission.
I prefer to use Duracell batteries . . . they keep going, and going, and going . . . = = Answer = = Any good national brand battery with at least 850 CCA (cold cranking amps) Then have your charging system checked.
yes
A 1997 Villager has a red button behind the driver side kick panel next to parking brake pedal. I found it by going to Ford.com/parts down loaded the owners manual. If you don't have the owners manual thy this.
