No I was afraid to. But made sure I cycled the trans neutral reverse drive Exeter’s a few times and left it in park with the motor running when I measured. So car was on and in park measure the fluid and when it was cold it was half way up the grid marks on the dip stick. Not sure if it it too much or too little fluid. When I drained it the old fluid was a little darker but still very clean and the stock BOV were vented to atmosphere with plugs put on the hot pipes. All this tells me previous owner probably cared for the car fairly well.
How far should I drive? Do you think it could clear the code?
Just go and drive. Sometime the systems wig out in these cars and you just need to turn them off and turn it back on.
That’s text book activity that your battery is toast. Bet you you put a new battery in it....all is well again and for some time to come
Yep, you can manually put it into 6th with the paddles. Also just because a battery test good doesn't always mean they are, esp if they sit.
Could be when I bought it from the lot they said it was sitting since the start of the pandemic.
Ok 10-4 thanks everybody for your help. So far
Yes, I tested under load. It looked like everything was ok. I think what happened was I may have left the car off but ran the audio system for a while and with the subs putting out some serious thumping bass and I think it may have ran the battery down a bit. Drove a bunch probably put some charge back in it disconnected the battery for about 30 min reconnected, and it seams to have cleared whatever was acting up.
