hello baba

my 02 land rover freelander tends to go off after a long while in traffic. and when u switch it on, it still keeps going off. unless u park it for some time and start again, then it acts right. what could be the cause??


thanks cool cool
Re: Tips on car maintenance and how 2 drive Automatic cars by baba4u93(m): 11:19am On Mar 06, 2011
samboribo, wink usually what can make such a v6 engine stop running while at static situation can be trace to 1 line of problem, 1st of all ask your mechanic to remove the fuel filter for you to see and if not dirty then i can say the only place left is the nuzzles, am sure b4 nw the car idle niddle on your dash board will going up and down even when d engine is idle. Is your check engine light on and if yes which am sure of i will like to do a data stream check/ diagnose  for u and see hw each component are performing for just 5k sir  cheesy

Most Nigerian using cars are of the opinion that when the car is still on the move they have no business with the engineer despite the fact that there check engine light is on and hearing some unpleasant noise from engine or at the other component around the car, more also some are of the idea that once you service your car regularly you have done the car a perfect maintenance but you need to scan your car before it gets to a halt/or break down while on the way from work.

gudmorn baba. i rily apreciat this thread. i recently bought a naija used 2007 disc continu V6. iv noticd a cranking noise weneva i turn the steering at rest, altho its nt stiff. secondly, weneva i accelerate rapidly, the entire car vibrates. wen i release my foot frm d pedal, vibration stops. the vibration is very embarasin especialy wen i hv frnds wit me. i took it to a mechanic and he said the engine seating nids checkin. i havent gone bak cos im kinda scared to start a ripoff contract wit d mechanic. also, the gear selector skips R wen i shift frm P to D, and wen i engage P sometimes, the car key doesnt com out until i push the selector further forward.
i'd rily apreciat ur help on this.
