Seems you have 'MULTIPLE' possible causes for this problem. First of all, I'd have a mechanic (a smart one) check the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) first, Usually, the TPS does have a direct effect on trans shifting erratically. It's also used by the ECM (Engine Control Module) to calculate 'LOAD' and subsequently the Fuel Mapping (fuel to air ratio, ignition timing, etc) which could possibly create a RANDOM MISFIRE condition. This other description you have regarding 10 minutes - that one's wierd - could be a multitude of possible causes (i.e, fuel pressure not enough or too much, malfunction in the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor, malfunction in the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor. First things first - get the TPS checked - if found bad - replace it. Go from there.

Hi
Before you turn out the light you should have a code read carried out just to make sure nothing sinister is going on with the management system.
If the car is running ok then the code will probably either pertian to the O2 sensor, the EVAP system, or a drop in catalytic efficiency, but this isn't set in stone, just the most popular scenarios.
Very best regards

I just did the same thing, I had to remove the air box to get to the reverse switch on the transaxle. I removed the switch and filled the fuild there.
