Wierd problem
In the video i am crawling at 2-3 km/h feet off both pedals
ONLY does this when crawling, seems perfectly fine cruising, doesnt do this in reverse
Also slightly bucking or jerking each time the tach moves. Like i said everythingels seems fine, drives good
It also doesnt do this when cold, only after 30+ monites of driving
Edit #3 it seems my passive traction control is kicking in lots, at like 1-3k rpm when it shouldnt.
Wtf?

alright, well that was a sucessful wasted trip down to my oil change place.
I ask for them to read my codes, cars acting up. Ok NP.
So this young girl hooks the scanner up, and says " thats your code right there, p0420 "
Im like " yea i know of that one, its says 01/02 in the top corner, whats the other one? "
Well, not before she already had her finger on AND presses the CLEAR button, and she just gives me this blank OH **** look.
Im like " .... thanks, i got a buddy up the road with a scanner, ill have to wait for it to pop up again "
on a side note, the manager there said he had the same issue with his cavi, and it was water corroded some wires / sensors & he took it in to get fixed. not really an option for me, as im stubborn. ill figure it out and fix myself ( and with your help )

the only thing google has led me to is, like 90% of people that have this problem, either A: their gas pedal stops working or B: the tranny doesnt shift.
and the speed sensor on the tranny goes.
guess i look at the sensor on the tranny

Well i think its safe to say now after 5 hours of driving and 4.5
Of them being problem free ( first 30 min was a pita )
But the speed sensor on te tranny, passanger side of the car! I sensor wire CASING was lost or ripped off from god knows when, and it was rubbing pretty well bare wire onto a hot tranny bracket . And clearly was shortyinf out. I cleaned it up, taped it, took the connector apart and cleand that aswell.
Problem free, im clearly a choosen one wih such a simple solution to this pita problem hahah
