Hello Experts.

I've been having some issues with my Camry. Firstly is fuel pump issues, but I've figured out that bad fuel in the fuel tank bought from fuel stations have been damaging my furl pump. In fact,I almost lost my car tofire last two weeks, my car caught fire when my mechanic stupidly tried testing the fuel pump by connecting wires from the battery to the fuel pump under the back seat, there was a spark and fire. Thanks to God and the prompt response from people around....

Is there anyway I can completely empty the fuel tank and get rid of all the dirts and rust?

Secondly, my car has not been steaming smoothly like before. If I engage the gear with my feet on the break pedal, the car continues to have this pressure to move, while my led is on the break. It jerks and often time go off. I had to take it to another mechanic, who cleaned the nozzles and changed the plugs, the problem still continued.

Thirdly, I observed that my engine oil has been dropping significantly. I don't like topping oil but changing it when due. Surprisingly, I was travelling to Aba when the oil indicator flashed a light. I stopped immediately and topped oil I intended using to change the oil, even when my mechanic confirmed that my oil isn't due for change. This morning, I checked the oil and topped again, I almost ran away due to the smoke that came out of the exhaust(light white smoke covered everywhere). I turned off the engine and restarted again, same thing happened. I had to manage it to worship and back.

I'm also worried if I'm using the right lubricant, with the right viscosity for the engine, because I sometimes hear some cracking sound, which I want to assume comes from the exhaust manifold or heat protector. I use Visco 2000 lubricant.

The CHECK and MAINTENANCE REQUIRED indicators are showing.

Before sending this post, I had to start the car again and I observed that some oil-like substance is shooting out from the exhaust. I'm really worried

Please I need profesional advise

Thanks

Attached is my dashboard. I also hear something like a tapping or knocking sound, because the engine isn't steaming smoothly or the rpm is low.

Thanks

You may have succeeded in filling up the car with more engine oil than necessary. You should have tackled the issue that warrants you to frequently top oil instead.

Nevertheless, I'll advise you first take it to your mechanic and drain the oil in it. Use the recommended oil viscosity 5w-30 about 5litres. This measure is not the total cure for your car but will make it drive-able to an auto garage with a Diagnostic scan tool because that is what you ought to have done at the first instance your car began acting up.

Your engine is the 2azfe. There are slight differences in engines produced between 2002 and 2006. The differences mainly have to do with the sensors attached to them and not anything mechanical. So when buying, make sure you buy an engine with sensors that will communicate properly with your ecu. The price is between 250k and 350k depending on where you are buying from and the condition of the tokunbo engine. Make sure you use a better mechanic to do the installation this time around. I can scan the car for you as well for free.

Hello GAZZUZZ, you stated here that I need a new mechanic and a new engine, and you're asking down the thread what happened to the old one, and that it can be fixed.

I don't get your drive, please shed more light. I already explained what happened to the Car in my introduction.

Regards

Thread was derailed hence the confusion.

Every engine can be fixed, what matters is the cost implication(parts/labour) vs the price of a tokumbor engine.

Go for an engine assessment from the initial number I gave you.
