Hello Starbeams,
I have a '06 Infiniti M35 parked at home for a while.
The problem is this: whenever I select the gear to D, it usually produces a 'KPUM' sound.
Then when I try to accelerate, it lags before picking up.
Also when the gear tries to shift into either 2 or 3 (not sure), it also produces another disturbing noise that can be felt within the heart. Lol

I decided to just park the vehicle to avoid complications.
From your experience, what do you think the problem could be?
If it's a transmission problem, is it something you can fix, or do I have to change the whole transmission, because I heard it isnt a wise idea to work on transmission problems, it is better to be changed.

Also, do you guys do home service? For instance, if I decide to scan my vehicle first, can you bring your tools and do the scsnning at home?
Attached is a picture of my beloved machine.
Thanks!

Re: Doctor Of All Problematic Vehicles in Abuja by EletuAzeez(m): 5:14pm On Feb 27, 2017
Hello sir. Pls I recently started experiencing high RPM on my EOD coupe 2005 model (automatic). The idle cable was adjusted by my mechanic but I noticed it went up again above 1000 RPM tending towards 2000 when the gear is on P or N. I have an OBD II scanner which I've used to scan the car before and after this experience but the trouble codes remain the same P0141 (02 sensor heater circuit Bank 1 sensor 2) and P1157 - Air/Fuel Ratio(A/F) sensor (sensor 1) AFS Line High voltage, or Air/ Fuel Ratio (A/F) sensor.
So, pls I don't know what could be responsible for the high RPM, since it's not showing any new code apart from the two that have been there since I bought the car.
Could these trouble codes be responsible for this development?
Pls I need ur opinion on this asap.
Thanks. Looking forward to ur response, bro.

Its not a serious issue bro, just look for a leak on the intake manifold, especially where it joined/bolted on the cylinder head. A leak on any of the vacuum lines would give such symptom. An unplug or not well clamped vacuum line would do the same. A leak where throttle body joined the intake manifold will give such problem. Tell your mechanic to check for that and let me know when its done.
Thanks.

seen the way you handle questions here and i must say you are doing a great job. My Honda Accord 2006 car gear handle got stucked. A mechanic did a fix but the gear still get stucked sometimes that i had to use the key to shift it. Also, the gear position lights sometime disappear or have P and D at the same time when i start the car. Please, what could be the problem?


Thanks.

Please, I have Mercedes Benz E230, 2001 model and it has gear problem.
Switching from one gear to another is difficult, in most cases, the car will not exceed gear 3 and in some case the car will enter neutral when driving on high way.
The mechanic called an electrician who. Said the 'Gear Brainbox' is faulty.
Is that the real problem?
Do I change the gear brain box?
What should I do?
I need your help, please.
Thanks

The Thermostat is about 2-3k, it helps your car to maintain an engine working temperature and hence reduce fuel economy, you can buy in the market and give your mechanic to fix. Most roadside Mechs advises people to remove it, but its not always to best advise.
Thanks
