Good Morning.
Recently I observed that my Toyota Camry 08 i4 consumes more fuel than normal and a check engine came up. After scanning I have P2238 and P0172. Did an emission test and it failed. What do you think could be the problem?
Attached is my diagnostic report.
Need help here

No problems with that. Car still performs as it should.

But the Main reason is due to weight distribution between the front and rear axles (50:50 weight distribution)

Good day sir, is there a way to disable the interior courtesy lights from always coming on whenever the door is opened or the ignition is turned off in a 2006 Volvo s80. It is annoying and sometimes ends up running my battery down!

Thank you sir. You just lifted a burden from my heart.
So, it's a good buy. God bless you.

Oga read the Manuel well or oil. Cap .. It is 5w30 and I have oil filter that will last 15k miles

HM4967 IS NOT AN EXTENDED MILEAGE FILTER. IT IS ONLY GOOD FOR 3000-5000 MILES. USE THAT WITH EXTENDED OIL AND YOU WILL MESS UP YOUR CAR.

Like I said before, the only picture I have of 5w30 mobil 1 oil happens to have a filter on it .. I was not implying that the filter with the 5w30 is for his car .. After all I posted another filter that was ordered for a lexus 2013 ..

Foreign used Corolla of course. cheesy

Most Nigerian used cars are evil. They have been badly abused which may ruin the new owner financially if care is not taken. embarassed

Nigerians sell their problems, not their cars

I agree with you. But that statement cannot be generalised. I sold my Toyota Camry 2005 in top condition and I bought Honda DC Nigerian used which has never given me any issue since I got it.

Yeah I just remembered. Was too lazy to delete that question. I have to check to see if the filter is compatible with the accord.

Good Morning Sir,Please i need advice on how to resolve a challenge of increasing temperature of My 2007 v6. The temperature guage ussualy rise to the middle level barely minutes after kick off.I took the car down to a radiator mechanic and he advised that i get a new radiator and that the one inside is expired. The radiator of the car was changed replaced with a belgium one this January and i wonder why would the radiator be replaced in such a short period of time.I also observed tremendous rise in the temperature whenever the ac is switched on.
