Toecutter Member 182 Member For: 17y 6m 26d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 08/11/10 07:10 AM Share Posted 08/11/10 07:10 AM Hey guys, I am having an occasional problem in my XRT.02 BA xrt, aftermarket cooler, valve springs, CAI and tune.Every once and a while when I start my car and change from PARK to REVERSE or DRIVE, the whole car violently shakes and the revs drop and sounds like it's about to stall. I try to put it back to PARK and it continues with it's nonsense. I quickly turn it off and when I restart it, everything is fine.It has done it a handfull of times and only does it a couple of times per week, completely random.It has been running a bit rough lately, sounds like a miss on idle, but cruises fine.I recently replaced the coils too, hasn't fixed it.Trying to fix it all up to sell it!Any help appreciated, thanks.
