Okay so to update my dilemma…After waiting an hour or so, it started without incident, no blinking dashboard light, accelerated when in drive and made it up the driveway incline. Why is this happening?

I have no idea about what prior problems you are referring to, and I imagine that I am not the only one who feels like he has missed the first part of a conversation.

I would suggest that you post this “update” in the original thread that you created, or start from scratch with the entire history of this problem.

Not good to start new message threads for new information. I suggest you cancel this thread and go back to the original thread so we all can have the same information.
