So i was at a stop light and when i went to move it took 3500 rpm just to move... So i pulled over and tried it in 1st and it worked fine and when i moved up to 3rd it works fine as well but when its in drive it doesn't want to move and the cel came on... Any ideas?

 

Read the codes! Probably a shift solenoid or the tcu

 

I dont have a code reader

 

Advanced or Oreilly will read them for free.

 

The only auto store near by doesnt have any... And now the problem is off and on... Any ideas? Only thing that happened is i webt through a large puddle about 30 min before it started

 

Make sure fluid is OK.

 

Double checked an it all seems fine

 

Disconnect the connector from the trans and dry it thoroughly. It may solve the issue.
Since it shifts fine manually, there's nothing wrong with the trans. There may be an issue with the TCM since the water episode if drying out the connector doesn't solve the problem. JMO

 

Where is the connecter? Sorry this is my first vehicle and jeep lol

 

Transmission dipstick tube.

 

Ok so my mom took it in today and they said its a bad solenoid in the trany

 

Ok so i got it back after the repair and it was running fine for about a week then it started up again and its no longer a off and on problem... The dealer said the solenoid they put in might be bad and they will replace it again for free... But im having my doubts thats what it is... Im still goin to let them do the repair again but incase it doesnt work again any other suggestions? Does it sound like it might be a tcm issue or is it likely it was just a bad solenoid that was put in

 

i'm surprised nobody has said this yet... throttle position sensor.

 

Oh and i forgot to mention it feels like its stick in 3rd or 4th when i put it in drive so i have to manualy shift it

 

Hmmm ill have to look into that as well
