I had an issue with my Toyota scion engine and after checking car talk, I contacted Gazuzz. Well, I was skeptical because I know how there are fraudsters online. In a nutshell, I took the car to him for diagnosis after which he suggested I buy another engine. He actually bought the engine and installed it. I would say he bought a superb engine which has been performing excellently.

Emperoh:
Bros, quick one,

What is the 'inner cup' (on a front wheel shaft) called?
Is that the CV joint?

GAZZUZZ:
Toks O2 sensor supplied.

First pic Toks sensor.

Next old sensor.

Experience4u:
please Gazzuz how do you know if the Toks sensor is working is good while buying and how much does it cost to get one. Another is where can I get one for my Rav4 2004 bank 1 sensor 2 since am in the East. Thanks as I await your reply.

GAZZUZZ:


No sure way until you hook it up to a diagnostic equipment and run live scan.

But you can check the heater sensor by using your multimeter to test resistance on the heater line. The heater line is usually 2 wires with same colour. You should expect low resistance of about 8ohms.

Experience4u:
thanks for your speedy response. Pls can I have your number so as to call you. Thanks

GAZZUZZ:
Been having issues with my phone camera so up loading pics have been impossible, but will fix the issues tomorrow.

Stancity:
Abeg do o cus i do enter here to learn one or two things... Sorry for issues!

Stancity:
Happy weekend sir..

You need a rest tomorrow o.

abuhubaidah:
As an apprentice I Always learn one or two things from you may God bless you.. Please you need rest ooo, body no b firewood ooo

GAZZUZZ:
Up next, toyota camry 2008, transmission failure.

Kashif:


What's with it? I might be interested in picking it up if replaced.

GAZZUZZ:


Not a replacement job, a repair job, no codes on transmission, but total loss of power after 20-30mins of running engine.

Will be cleaning valvebody, filters and passages.

Also a leaking torque converter seal.

Kashif:


You mean total loss of drive? Does it happen after 20 - 30 mins of idle or driving? From cold start or at any time? For sure, its not the valve body, as it would not wait to act up if it is faulty. Problem with clogged filter is more pronounced at higher RPMs.

V6 or I4?

ExpressBooking:
Gazzuz please I need your help with these codes on my 2000 Toyota Avalon XL 3.0 V6 1MZ-FE engine. The vehicle sounds like it has an exhaust leakage under the engine and the engine accelerates itself. on idling it gets up to 1500rpm when gear is disengaged and AC is off. when you engage gear the vehicle accelerates itself faster than normal.
1. P1354 Variable valve timing
2. P0300 Random cylinder misfire detected
3. P0302 Cylinder 2 misfire detected
4. P0304 Cylinder 4 misfire detected
5. P0306 Cylinder 6 misfire detected
I used my innova 3130c diagnostic tool with fix assist to get these result.
The fix assistance is suggesting is check
1. Faulty A/F sensor or loose wiring
2. Faulty fuel injection or loose wiring
3. Faulty O-rings

GAZZUZZ:


Driving, from cold start. Filter had allegedly been changed. Problem started after drive shafts were replaced, im guessing. The shaft ends had dirt on them, and the dirt traveled into the transmission and clogged up parts. Of the valvebody. But I'm open to suggestions (you are the transmission expert )

I4 2A-Z

Kashif:


Transmission expert indeed!

If the valve body is clogged like you suspect, the symptoms will show up as soon as you engage the gear, warm or cold - it does not discriminate. Since the car drives well until it gets warm, rule out the filter too. Like I said earlier, symptoms of clogged filter shows at higher engine RPMs because the filter is not able to keep pace with the pump. If there is a problem with the valve body, it is excessive regulator valve or bore wear, rather than a blockage. This has been documented to cause overheat in this transmission (U760).

When this happens, disconnect the TCM harness and see if the car drives in any gear range.

Is there aeration of the atf? (sign of overfill).

Ensure the vent is clear, as it is a major cause of leakages, and will cause pressure buildup and overheating. Can you take a reading of the atf when this happens?

Check pressure values at gear ranges (I could give you the specs if you need them). You may have a leakage, caused by a weak oil seal, which softens too much with temperature rise.

Lack of TDC is not making it easy....
