as far as the atf is concerned, the accelerater engages while the car is momentarily stopped, which mens it moves foward when the brake is on at a stop sign. the brake lt circuit sign comes on and off occasionally.

Answer

Hello, sorry for the delay. The reason your brake circuit light is on is because you have a faulty brake light switch located above the pedal. The transmission fill plug is located on the side of the transmission about midway up on the passenger side. I believe it is a 17 mm hex or Allen. Fill this while the engine is running and ensure you use the correct fluid. If your vehicle is surging at idle I would firs ensure your floor mat is not jammed over the gas pedal. Please Accept my answer And feel free to respond.
