I have a 2007 Acura TL. Car has had on/off issues with the throttle sensor. Manifests by the car idle but won't rev up or move. Used to be that when you switch off and restart the car, it begins to work again.

Lately, the problem has become really bad. Once it happens even if you restart the car 20 times it won't work now. Also the car goes off in the middle of the road when you slow down. Also goes off when you make hard turns. Very dangerous as it has happened on expressways and busy roads.

The electrician I engaged says the entire wiring system is bad and needs to be replaced along with the brain box. Cost is estimated at 120k.

Want to find out if that is the likely problem. And if it is, is this a fair price?

I had the car scanned and it threw up the following errors: P0506, P2122, P2176.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by afangsoup: 3:44am On Dec 15, 2017
Stop throwing parts on that car, stop giving incompetent technicians that car to handle unless you wanna destroy it. Kingreign is in Abuja he is a member of nairaland, he is competent enough to handle that car. He even have a thread about car repairs here, I see no reason why you won't wanna give him a try.

Good day everyone. Just two weeks ago, one of my radiator fan rotor got very hot and burnt off. I got the fan replaced. But since then I found out that I have to top up the water in the radiator every morning. Formerly, I top water every 3 to 4 days. I've checked for leakage but there's none. I'm opened to suggestion here. Kindly help.

Good day everyone, my mums toyota Rav 4 AC only chills well while the car is on motion. When it's on idle mode, you can hardly feel anything.

What could be the cause, took it to the mechanic today and they discovered that there's still gas in it. They suggested the compressor might be bad.

Your AC clutch system might be failing, so take it for a check, by this I mean your compressor

water can leak as vapour, steam, so you wont see.try and get someone to rev your Engine while in Park and look arround carfully, you might just find the leak, look fru all the Hose inlet outlet plus look arround your water pump as well.

The AC technician i visited earlier today said i should replace the compressor and it will cost me N35k.

Can AC compressors be worked on?

Just dont throw parts at it, you need to know whats wrong witht eh compressor, from waht you are saying it seems teh clutch on the compressor is the culprit, so see if that could be worked on, if not then you will have to change it.

Re: Car Talk Chat Room by megacontrol(m): 1:43am On Dec 17, 2017
Thanks.
Do you or others know of any technician in the ajah/lekki axis that can help me check this out?
Its a regular 2008 Toyota Camry LE and this diagnosis seems like a basic one but i don't want to mess around with roadside mechs.

Will appreciate a referral to a technician that works with fault codes.

Check intake line, fuel supply pressure, if all Is fine, replace MAF

Hello people,

Please my car is having issues...Whenever I am about to drive out in the morning and the Ac p is on, even without ac, the car won't have pressure to move, I will even pedal it to the floor and still it won't move instead it will sometimes be making a blowing sound... I have changed the airflow sensor severally and also went for scanning twice, the last time of scanning not a single fault was discovered...

I am suspecting my exaust pipe, if it has broken because the last time i went to somewhere, the road was bad...


Please help people

Thanks erico I really appreciate. There are no traces of water leakage on the floor because I do check the ground before starting the car in the morning. Still, I will have my hose and water pump checked and I will get back to you.

Good day to you guys, pls I need an expert advice on my 2004 Toyota corolla. Suddenly the fuel consumption increase dramatically and it rough idle when ever I match the brake or pack the car with the AC and Gear engaged. I have changed the Nozzles and spark plugs, problem still remain. This evening I try something different by unplugging the idle control valve sensor and car run smoothly. Could it be that the idle control valve is bad? Thanks in anticipation of ur response.
DId You run a scan on your car?

Great stuff however dnt be decieved, water leak is tricky, the tricky ones occur at
1 when the system is presurized
2 when the system is hot
these are the times to check for leaks!

I think you should go to a place where they have proper Diagnostic tools, there are people on here who do, what is your location?we got people on here who could be of help as regards scan.There is no need suggesting or throwing parts at your car when you do not know what is wrong, it would be guess work and that cost money.

Thanks alot bro. I did scan and discovered the 02 sensor is bad, knock sensor is also not functional including the throttle body also kind of stiff due to dirty.
I got all the sensors replaced and throttle body was clean. Car now runs soomthly.

Big thanks�
