GAZZUZZ:


as long as you top oil regularly and change oil filters at reasonable intervals, the only
damge will be to your pocket and the environment.

CarMecx:
Probably your engine power has been 'raised' as it is commonly said to compensate for the load of the air-conditioned that is why when the transmission is engaged the rpm drops and then when the A.C. is turned on it would drop slightly still to optimum idle speed

Good morning Oga Gazzuss,

My darling 08 Corolla (Bank type) started showing signs of burning oil recently. Kindly advise as it's performance is still relatively ok.

Odometer - 157,000+
Present oil type - Mobil 20-50W
Transmission - Manual

Thanks!

Oga GAZZUZZ and other esteemed learned ones in the house, Good day to you all.

Please my small suzuki bus(7 passengers) always drains oil when there is no sign of leakage. I have to constantly top the oil to get it back to the normal level.

How can I fix or manage this.
Thanks as I anticipate your reponses.

AXYZ:


What could be the solution sir?

CarMecx:
you need check well that there is no leak cause there is many ways oil can get leaking from the engine

CarMecx:
The throttle bodies on your particular Corolla are susceptible to carbon build up. It can make the throttle plate stick. There are also reports that the throttle plate can warp causing high idle issues. Usually these problems make the idle stay high under all conditions.
Other conditions that can cause high idle are vacuum leaks that allow more air into the motor. These can be intermittent problems, but not usually. Some areas to look are around the points that the intake manifold bolts to the head, EGR valve and EGR valve ports, broken vacuum hoses, and a failed brake vacuum booster.

Other than a high idle that doesn’t drop to normal, the only problems that should be addressed sooner than later are vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can lead to other internal motor damages that will be much more expensive to fix. If the problem persists, you may want to have your high engine idle speed inspected by a professional technician to determine if any repairs are needed.

My Ogas in the house, good day sir.

Kindly help to escalate possible solution to my 2007 Camry issue. My rpm on starting the engine stays at 1500 and goes to between 1000 and 1200 as soon as I engage the gear. I think something is wrong with it. Thanks in advance.

emmaak2:
My engine on cold start will run normal but when I engage the gear is starts a slight vibration but will run normal after some minutes


Also is my RPM normal when Ac is bin ON

I don't think anything is wrong with our car..
Where does the engine RPM stay when the engine is hot & car has bn driven for some time? Let's say 1 hour?

possible scenario.

Thermostat removed, and fans direct.

Temp Below. 60deg celcius.

Engine ecu trys to compensate for cold engine by raising rpm.

But what do I know?

Where does the engine RPM stay when the engine is hot & car has been driven for some time? Let's say 1 hour?

thebigkendo:


Yeah that's Possible, reason why i asked



But even with Fan direct and thermostat deleted, engine temperature will still get to around 80 - 88 deg Cel, will just take longer and ECU will throw a P0128

I have seen an accord sit in 62deg celcius under hot sun inside traffic for hours

For ancestors like this, clean out the throttle body.

thebigkendo:



Hahahaha Village people .. Maybe double cell radiator, wrong fan installed.

Talking about Accord cooling system, You get any ECT2 sensor weh you no dey use?

Last weekend i noticed my cooling fan ran continuously throughout my over 2 hours commute . Coolant temp was 86 - 88deg Cel with a P0128 code...
-When i get home, i checked all related relays.
-Noticed fan comes on at 86deg celsius and doesn't go off until i put off the engine
-Fan also runs when key is at ON position
-Though maybe my ECT sensor was stuck at 88 deg, so i disconnected fans and idled, ECT temp got to 96Deg before i connected the fan back.
-Disconnected ECT2, voila!!! everything back to normal, Fan starts at 95deg and go off as usual , So now i am driving around with P2185 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor 2 Circuit high

GAZZUZZ:


No let Onyibo confuse you with part number, ECT 2 and one are same sensors and e plenty for shop. (Thanks to old engines)

thebigkendo:


I know they are the same.. When i get time i go show for shop, i go call before i come sha.. So u go restock the origin for fridge

CarMecx:
you need check well that there is no leak cause there is many ways oil can get leaking from the engine and if there is still no evidence of leak you may be burning oil from worn engine which may be due to worn piston rings or best thing do a compression test

thebigkendo:


Fixed

themonk:

Thanks alot bro. I'll do all you have said. I'm servicing the car tommorrow so I'll tell the mechanic to help me check well.

How do I know if the piston rings is the problem?
And is it advisable to change the engine totally or replacell the piston rings if that's the issue.
Also please what's a compression test?

BTW when I bought the car, the engine looked very new water was coming out of the exhaust pipe sef and it's not been up to 2 months. So sad

GAZZUZZ:


The guy de arrange daunting issues.

thebigkendo:


Typical Nigerian.. No wonder some dealer dey put water in the tail pipe

Water coming out of exhaust is not a representation of a great engine
