Hi Gazzuz. My mazda 6 is still guzzling fuel and it's still having a rough idling mostly at first start in the morning, hesitating, but no check light and no codes. A full tank of fuel (68litres) took me only 202miles instead of about 400miles. Note: Car is a 2.3ltr engine 4cylinder.

Bring it back for further testing. I feel the map is the culprit.

Toyota camry 2008 model;

Faults:
1. ABS/VSC/TRC on
2. Evaporation emission flow errors
3. Noise from serpentine belt area.
4.intermittent cooling of A.C
5.dirty engine bay
6. Leaking exhaust port.


Work begins.

General service of injectors, replacing sparkplugs, service throttle body, discharge freon from the system and attach vaccum end of compressor to a.c sytem to create negative pressure b4 refilling gas, re-calibrating yawrate sensor.

Coolant temp sensor 2 missing, radiator had been replaced with wrong type, and lower harness to sensor chopped off. Radiator will be replaced.

Fuel gauge (a potentiometer) will be replaced.

O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 will be replaced.

Transmission range switch will be replaced.

Air mix control for a.c climate control will be looked at. If faulty, recommendations will be made.

The lean mixture was caused by un-metered air getting into the intake. If you look closely I have put a bolt on the PCV hose outlet. The larger hose connecting the throttle body is not designed for this type of vehicle, its design is for a vehicle equipped with a throttle cable.

Also the lower front engine mount is not for this vehicle, if you look closely at the pics you will notice a switching valve that takes vacuum from the intake and it goes to the front engine mount, unfortunately the mount has been changed and vacuum leaks because there is no where to plug it in. The vacuum line will be blocked from intake source.

Accord 07


Washed and ready, no codes after driving 50km. Fuel gauge working after replacement.

Modified.

Forgot to add the mixture regulation short, it was caused by improperly set cable on the mix valve inside engine bay.

Pipe welding.

This pic is from a vehicle that the owner does not want on NL.

When welding a power steering pipe, weld using a pipe with a larger diameter between the original point where it broke, do not weld directly, it might cause. Blockage.

Peugeot 307

Suspension noise from rear.

Coil springs taken down (just unbolt shocks they will drom easily)

Noise was caused by broken coil spring.

Also owner needs ground clearance improved, so will fit coil springs of larger diameter.

Opel vectral 2000

Rough idling

No idling on cold start.

Loss of power.

Oil leaks.

Exhaust always leaking.


Main suspect is fuel pump and MAF, will service injectors, replace plugs, check fuel pressure, modify exhaust by attaching a flexible exhaust net near where it breaks all the time, will also check engine mounts.

I'm sure I posted it.

Look well.

Yea. Sorry, I didn't look well.

GAZZUZZ:

Well done Gazzuzz, impressed by this thread, your attempt at honesty and transparency. Wish I could drive my CRV down to your shop in Lagos.

I'm at my wits end, changed my AC system 3X since I bought the car and it has parked up again. Always a faulty condenser damaging the compressor or so. 3 different electricians, new condensers, a new compressor and later 2 tokunbo ones, new evaporator, new pipes, still something gets blocked or starts leaking and it's expenses again. Totally fed up. Nothing about it shows up on scans.

Can you give me the contacts to a good and daily honest Honda mech or electrician in Port Harcourt who can be of help or who can give me some good advice?

Will totally appreciate it.

Sorry to derail. I opened a thread about some device I saw under the drivers side of my Honda Accord 98 4 cyl. Need your expert knowledge on what it is. An if it's working or not attached well. One is like a box while the other 2 looks like they should be plugged into something

The owner was around thru out the repair process and job has been completed. But I have these pics for the house, when there's constant breaking of your exhaust pipe, and you are sure the problem is not from the engine mounts, you can introduce this flexible part.
