Title: Auto tech/auto fuck!
Post by: kierbear on July 18, 2012, 05:26:43 PM
stupid auto. Sometimes if it wont start in park, it starts in neutral. this hardly ever used to happen but its happening alot now. Stik in park, then N, then P, then N, then P and then it goes. Now it just plain wont go at all, hopefully by some miracle that changes by tomorrow and hopefully it doesnt do it to the WOF guy on friday. How does i fix this? :)

I agree. Happened on my Charger, the exact same symptoms. I had to get mine from Aussie, if they are the same as the BW35 then you could probably get one from Hemi Performance down in Nelson.

That is not just an Avenger problem, When it happened on my charger I just bypassed it till I could get a new one. The only problem with bypassing it is that you can accidently start the car in gear.

Don't give up hope, it is just part of the joys of owning a classic car. Like take tonight for instance, I went out to watch the new batman movie with my friends and my passenger seat in my Charger broke on the way to the movies. We had a good laugh about it because they all know what it is like with old cars, also bottomed out a lot with 3 people in the car :P

My charger is my daily  :'( Has been since last october when I started restoring my Avenger.

It had a big meltdown with the electrics a few months ago, that sucked, left me with no car at all :'(

Nah, I had to borrow a car while my Charger was out of action, that is why I can't wait to get my Avenger back. If I had of known it would be a year then I would have brought a cheap run around.

I think from memory it was around $100.

here is a link to one on Hemi performance aussie. Check if it looks the same and then ring Hemi Performance NZ,
