jossytech: So far so good. Try and replace thermistor (radiator fan switch) located Base of radiator too. It's failure rate is very high. Been a while I saw any one pay this much attention to a 20year old car. Nice one. https://m.autozone.com/cooling-heating-and-climate-control/cooling-fan-switch-radiator/duralast-cooling-fan-switch-radiator/toyota/camry/2001/239441_0_0?location=

GAZZUZZ:Thank you very much Sir. in as much as I want to get the catalyst replaced, my fear is where to get a good one bcoz the ones I see here (Lafia, nasarawa state) are locally constructed. I heard that if I should remove the catalyst content, the fuel consumption will become unbearable. Sir please I need ur advice bcoz am considering selling the car just bcoz of this. Its my first time of owning a car and am not enjoying these sad experience. Thank you Sir. |

parcifal: If I know 307 very well, if you remove the catalyst, when blocked you consume less fuel |

My car Toyota Camry 2005 pushes with forward with a bang whenever i engage the gear to D. I feel it most of the front tires. And this bang increases as the car temperature increases. Very early in the morning the bang is very very minimal when i engage the gear but as i drive around and car temperature keeps increasing, this bang keeps increasing to a point that when I engage the gear to D. Every occupant of the Car jerks forward. Note. Gear had issues of revving up and not selecting when in motion. It was a 13pin converted to 10 pin. Repairs done. Changed all engine mounts still bang persist. Changed gear body valve(brain box) thrice bang persist In the course of changing the body valve, the mechanic forgot to set the gear selector on the body valve, hence car was only moving forward when gear is on R N D. And during this time, bang stopped. Make una come deliver me my gurus |

parcifal:Problem is not a bad catalyst converter, Your car has serious misfire which is related to one or two issues. Catalyst converter fault is telling you of a serious misfire that can lead to damage of cat. check for a weak fuel pump and two or three of your injectors are bad. Scan your car to identify the cause of that issue. Don't remove the catalyst converter...scan your car. 1 Like |

Gazzuz the Chair...car enthusiasts; all protocols duly observed I have a 1997 Toyota Camry with electrical issue I think. Recently when on motion the speedometer will go down to zero & the mileage number will disappear; then the car will become kind of sluggish (movement wise) & gear selection will be sluggish also. The car goes back to normal after sometime though but am not comfortable with it Just in case...I recently changed timing belt & had a rewire look into my instrument cluster light which was not coming up when I turn on my headlights at night. I also worked on a leakage on the steering rack. Please what should I do? It's my only car O!!! |

Good day all. There's something I've always wanted to confirm. A friend once told me it is not ideal to breeze through your gears, for example the gear is in Park, and you want to select Drive, you have to select Reverse first and allow it load, then Neutral, and then Drive. Please can the gurus confirm this? Thanks. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:04am On Jul 21, 2018 |
Machini: Gear remains unaffected. You just exercised your arm Just pull it down to D in a flash. 1 Like |
