Another strange thing happened at the same time as the first tranny problem. My fuel consumption on the evic and on OBD fusion increased about 25%. I installed a 2.5 inch and larger tires last fall and that decreased MPG on the evic about 25%. After this episode the evic is reporting the same MPG that it did before the lift. Is there a chance that the catalytic converter is clogged and impairing performance? Maybe the tranny kickdown dislodged an obstruction to exhaust flow? I hesitated to mention this because it sounds crazy to me.
I would doubt very seriously that any exhaust stoppage in a CAT would or could heal itself!
But if you can depending on where you reside, get rid of the CAT, your engine will breath better....
