Cars have so many problems but is this...?

Question 1
Cars have so many problems but is this...?...  A transmission problem? Could it be electrical or mechanical? It's an automatic. '94 Eagle Vision Esi 4 dr sedan.

Okay. So when I start my car, sometimes the car will go in reverse when it's in drive, and I'll have to floor the gas for it to move forward. When I go at speeds of 30+ the RPMs get up to like 3-4 (and this is high for just 40MPH), and you'll hear the engine working extra hard. Also, when I make right turns I'll have to floor the gas or keep my foot on the gas near the end of the turn cause' it'll do the same thing as when I first start the car, except it'll only shoot forward (not go in reverse thank god, lol).

Now after I shut off the car, and then start the car (a few times) after it's been running for about 10 minutes or so, the car will be fine. (Except around right turns. It always jams up then. ALWAYS.)

Could this be electrical, like a sensor or mechanical? I really don't know, and sadly I don't have enough money as of right now to do an inspection, and god forbid my car breaks down and needs to be towed I honestly don't know what I'd do. Obviously I don't have the money to repair the trans, so what do you all think?

P.S. If I come back to car after leaving it for about 4 hours after I've driven it withall the restars and everything, it will STILL BE FINE. So...what?

Answers
1)   I think you should just buy a honda - Francine

2)   the other guys answer was crap, but when you talk about moving the car and it revving high. it sound to me like a worn out clutch, so the clutch plate linings could be worn . It also sounds to me that your engine has a timing issue, either a crank sensor or a throttle sensor. it Could be the ECU which is knackered. I know this isn't helpful. but from what you have written this is all i can come up with. If you want to work out the problem i would advise searching what i have witten to see if it comes up with familiar problems and faults to what you are experiencing. - Joseph

3)   It sounds like a transmission problem to me. I used to own a 94 Concorde which is basically the same thing, and had a trans problem at around 100k miles. Fortunately, I had a warranty which covered the repair. However, if I were you, the first thing I would check would be the transmission fluid level. It may be low which could explain why it always acts up while making right turns. To check it, the engine needs to be running and warmed up, then check the fluid level on the transmission dipstick. If the level is ok and the fluid is in good condition, then I am afraid that you may be looking at a large bill for a transmission repair.

I hope this helps.
Good luck - Jim

Question 2
I have an 06 pt curiser that came from the factory without AC can the AC be added to the pcm program?...  I have had a chrysler Ac system installed, but the pcm will not send power to the Ac on/off button took it to chrysler and they did not know how to do this or if it could be done. I know that the pcm needs to be reset to show that the AC option is open but Who can do this if not Chrysler?
Help I live in Ms and it is so hot. Also you can not charge the compressor to full capacity

Answers
1)   have the people that added the a/c do it, - badbill1941

2)   Who installed ur AC,they r responsible 4 setting it up 4 ur vehicles system,contact chrysler customer support & let them handle an ignorant service dept. of theirs.U should have gotten a Mark IV AC put in I installed a few hundred of them & they were great in smaller cars. - Travis41

3)   I'm not sure the AC is hooked to the PCM (powertrain control module), I thought it was wired into the BCM (body control module). - Don't know everything !

Question 3
How do I know if a blower motor or resistor switch is bad on a 2004 town and country?...  I have a 2004 Town and country and the air doesn't blow out the front vents, only the rear ones. How can I exclude the motor, resistor or switch before I start buying parts.
I found the connection under the glove box, can I check it with a voltage tester?
There is no power to the front blower. I checked the fuse and relay and they are good. Does this mean the restrictor needs to be replaced or am I overlooking something else?
sorry, does the resistor need to be replaced?

Answers
1)   Find the connector that plugs into your motor and see if it has power. If it does, you know that the fuse, relay and/or resistor is good. - shit_man

2)   I assume you have two fans and two switches, front and rear. Sounds like the front blower switch is bad.

If the resistor is bad on the blower motor, it will only run on high speed. - Don't know everything !

Question 4
I have a 99 Plymouth breeze, put new coil pack, plugs, and wires on it, still skipping, whats wrong?...  

Answers
1)   it could be low compression, a fuel issue. that engine has issues with head gaskets. - mdk68gto, ase certified m tech

2)   Take it in and get it diagnosed professionally before you starts replacing more parts that aren't needed. Plugs and wires never hurt, but when you start replacing other non-maintenance parts that don't fix it, you're throwing money away.

Sure, it costs you money to have someone check it out, but it will almost always save you money in the long run by replacing only the bad part or parts instead of replacing a bunch of good parts until you either get lucky and replace the bad one, or get sick and tired of replacing parts and take it in to a professional anyway. - Mark B

Question 5
chrysler minivan surges at cruising speeds and wont go over about 50mph but revs fine?...  

Answers
1)   does it shift fine? If it is struggling to maintain speed it could be a plugged catalytic converter. Some more information on what its doing would be helpful - Mike J

2)   I concur with Mike...sounds like a catalytic converter...this happens on vehicles with excessive miles. Your local muffler shop can quickly check by measuring the input and output heat ranges and advise accordingly. - Joseph P
