Trans goes into gear when off
But as soon as it is on the clutch will not let the car go into gear.
So I asume clutch but the original owner swears up and down it was driving fine before I got it.
MAF problem:
Same problem happened to me. I thought IACV or vac leak.
the problem actually lied in the wiring harness..
Is your upper harness all fubared?? can you turn down the idle with the screw??
(is IACV working??)
Clutch engagement problem:
Have you taken the pressure plate off at all???
sounds like clutch like you thought
its possible the TOB or fork MIGHT've slipped off while the previous owner was attempting a clutch swap: Installer-error
Questions:
was it driving when you got it??
Good luck with the troubleshooting..
I have a KA to work on tomorrow too.. Im not looking forward to it.. hahah
