After the check engine light came on, I had my car diagnosed on the computer. The codes indicated several cylinders were misfiring. So, I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor and rotor. I then reset the computer. The vehicle was fine for one day. However, the next day the check engine light came back on. Again, I had the car diagnosed, this time code P0361 and P1399 were on the computer. I'm at a loss for what is wrong now. What is the reason for this problem?
Also, my mechanic said the power steering fluid and transmission fluid were burnt. He wants to flush the systems and replace the fluids. Is there any reason to worry about replacing the transmission fluid on high mileage car with new fluid? I heard that I should add LUCAS transmission repair to the transmission fluid to protect the transmission, any truth to this?
