No worry unless the check engine light is on. The EVAP system places the fuel system in a vacuum. If the pressures are incorrect the check engine light will come on and there will be a trouble code stored. Check for codes with a code reader yourself.

what transmission code is it? or do you know what sensor it is saying? How bad is the leak and when you say loss of power need to know more of what you mean. A loss of power is usually an engine symptom if it feels liek the engine doesn't kick in when you push the gas that is an engine problem, if it feels more like a slipping meaning the rpms go up but the car doesn't move faster then it is more transmission related.

What have you done so far to fix your vehicle’s problem? Did you already check the condition of your transmission fluid?

sounds like internal transmission failure did you let it go with low fluid for a while?

when i bought the car in july,i checked the fluid level and it was full and the fluid was clean.so i don't know if the previous owner let the fluid get low before he filled it again.

is the vehicle a manual transmission?

hi, this svx is a 4-speed auto. with the manual option.like i said before,it won't shift beyond first or second.could be the trans. computer but i'm only guessing.just want to have some idea what the problem is before i have the car towed to the nearest trans. shop(25mls.). thanks bobby.....

if you could get your hands on a scanner you might be able to get a code from it for the transmission. That would help point you in the right direction but without being with the vehicle internal trans issues are very difficult to diagnose. This could be a problem with the transmission valves, torque converter or bands

thanks alot bobby.you've been very helpful.i'll see if i can get my hands on a scanner.

Same thing happen to me in my last car. Sounds like the transmissions going out.

unforunatly i think that is the problem.afterall thats one of the three main problems with this car.but these are great cars once you take care of those problems. thanks amber...

Check the wiring/connectors in your tranny it is possible that when your replaced your fluid and filter you accidentally disconnect it.

You have to road test it and observe for unusual sound. Visit this link to have more idea how to inspect your axel http://www.automd.com/.../

Before you replaced your clutch is car moving? You should diagnose your vehicle with a scan tool to know the stored trouble code (if your servo is defective it will show up) and to point you to the right direction in fixing your car. You can also consult another mechanic for second opinion before you decide to replace anything.

Let me clarify a little bit. The clutch was replaced last year. My son-in-law drove it with a bad axle. I think the axle is broken now. The car starts fine, but if you put it in gear it will not move. I guess my question really is, if I replace the axle will this solve my problem. Or do I also have to check the servo (I don't know what a servo is). The car is in another state right now. I would like to go get it and bring it home for my mechanic to look at it. But if I replace the axle, which is easy to do, do you think I can drive it?

Your servo is located under your hood it is also called intake air control (it is in your throttle body) and your axle is located underneath your vehicle, so I don’t think that if you change your axle it will solve the problem with your servo. It is possible that your clutch (disc or release fork or other clutch component if it is manual but if it is an automatic check the component of your torque converter) is failing because you can’t move to any gear.

And your shifting lever is connected to your transmission (which include the clutch which is located between your engine and your transmission *if you have a manual transmission*). It is possible that your clutch is worn since it was replaced last year.

If you have an automatic transmission you should diagnose it with a scan tool to see if there is a stored trouble code in your vehicle (it will show if one of your electronic component (e.g. electromagnetic clutch brush, electronic clutch control) is defective and not working that’s why you can’t go to any gear.

Clutch will wear varies on the use of the vehicle, the make of the clutch, drivers habit (how he drives or the mileage he drove everyday) and other the conditions. Yeah it is possible that you car won’t move if one of your drive live is broken.

But you’ve mentioned that the vehicle can’t be put to any gear (it is possible that your gearshift mechanism is defective) right? It is possible that it is the cause why your vehicle won’t move.

Please check your speed sensor, it may be loose or busted, its on the side of the transmission assy. there are 2 by the way (i think they are black)

I have a PDF file, if you post your email, i can send them to you

Did you already check the condition and level of your transmission fluid? If you already did, it is possible that your clutch is slipping.

you problem is in the speedo head itself there is a very small gear to gear in the speedo head itself. replace the speedo head.

Thank you....now to find a GOOD speedo head and deciding if it's something I should tackle or a professional shop.
If the shop route I'm sure a fairly expensive job.

I just in the question about my speedometer not working all the time. Did yours quit all at once or did it sometimes work and sometimes not work? Just wondering if I am goint to be diagnosed with the same problem.
