Hello, i'm new in this forum the last two days i've been reading it and now i know a little more about some issues of my PT (Perfect Toy
) like the High RPM miss and the steering wheel robotic-rubbing noise (I didn't think about visiting my dealer 'till next year but now its taking the highest priority in my ToDoB42004 list).
Let me tell you the history of my PT, i bought it on Feb (as my own bday present) but not everything was going smooth in my life so i lost my job few days after and since here in Mexico you need to pay a 2.4% TAX
for owning 0-10 years old cars, couldn't afford the money 'till 6 months later
, meanwhile the bless PT was stored at the garage getting dusty, it just moved to roll around the block (couldn't get far than that without the risk of getting caugh and lose my precious charriot) for keeping the battery (and all) alive.
Now after 5 months the PT is doing fine (hitting 2125ml/3400km)but few days ago i've noticed a strange oddor after driving (smells like a very hot iron) and yesterday was getting out from a basement parking at downtown, the exit ramp was not long (could hold 2 o 3 cars on its length) but the damn angle [:0] easily +45 deg. so a lot of traffic outside and a lot of cars getting out from the parking i had to wait about 10 minutes in the middle of the ramp (i swear got cramps on my legs by pressing the clutch and brake upwards) when finally the car in front of me moved, i did release the clutch/hit the gas but instead of moving forward the PT roared loud (the RPM went almost to the red line) and rolled back due the gravity, to my luck the driver behind me took his time paying the bill so when it happened he was 4' away from my rear bumper that was enough to apply the brakes, i tried again and finally climbed the ramp, but there was a strong burning smell, strong enough cuzz some ppl walking told me "smells like something is burning" pointing at the PT's hood, but no smoke comming from the hood nor engine light on, the PT did it normal in the way back to home (just the damn oddor [:0]), there i did open the hood looking for signals o cues about the "burning" but nothing visible, the oddor was much less noticiable and it seems to came from the radiator's area, i shutdown the engine and started it again with the selftest procedure but the codes were the same showed since i discovered the selftest "trick" few months ago
and they are (although,I dunno what they mean[:I]):
FL0007
BL 01
EE 10
It is normal the hot iron-like oddor?
What did i blow or any clue about what happened in the parking ramp?
Thanxs for your attention!
Saludos desde mexico amigos!
