good day guys, I noticed some anomalies with my 2005 Corolla sport. when I put it on its rpm rises to about 2200. it only comes down when I on my ac and it kind of give more sound and vibration compared to before.

I changed from semi synthetic to full synthetic a couple of month ago and I have CEL as a result of catalytic converter related code but it has not affected the performance before

Run a scan first

Boss run a scan, but likely the crankshaft sensor is mostly the culprit

White smoke coming from the exhaust meaning and causes and solution.


White Exhaust

When your car is creating white clouds of exhaust smoke not steaming you experience when you start in the morning, there is likely cooling system trouble. The white smoke is produced by coolant burning up in the engine. This can occur if there’s an internal coolant leak within the motor. Cooling system problems may cause additional problems for the motor, including blown head gaskets or burnt piston rings. If the issue is not dealt with in a quick manner you may find your car in need of extensive and expensive engine repair on your hands.

Have you replaced your compressor before?
Why don’t you run a scan to determine any pre-existing issue with the engine?
This will give me update on what to advise

Car Jerks While Accelerating In The Morning
I drive a KIA RIO 2018 and of recent I started experiencing a jerk when am about to drive out in the morning like the car is about to go off, but once i drive a bit it moves fine through out the day.

Running Diagnosis

I started with the air filter and it was replaced,

Went for the coil and plugs, they were ok

Lastly I checked for blockage on the injector nozzle and discovered the whole four (4) were partially blocked and I went ahead to remove the fuel pump assembly.

I had to replace the whole fuel pump assembly and service the nozzle and the whole jerking stopped.

Oga Bishop, I drove my Kia Sorento 2005 to Lekki Phase 1, and on my way back to Isolo, it started making an engine knocking sound. I managed it home as it won't accelerate as much. I called my mechanic who confirmed that the engine oil and water were at their norm gauges because it's just 2 months ago I serviced it.

He suggested I buy new engine, or that he will bring down the engine and check the metal panel under the engine, which he said maybe the cause.

Please what do you think

P0300 – Meaning and Causes and Solutions
P0300- Random or Multiple Cylinder Misfire, one of the common symptom of a P0300 is the check engine light. Then the car idling will be erratic and driving operations will be rough.

Causes and Solution

Check the plugs – The first step to take is to check the plugs to know if they are worn out, in the situation they are worn out just replace them.


A spark plug
Check the Coil Pack or Coil on Plug – The coil might not be an easy step to detect when it is not functioning except you are a certified auto technician, but if you just get to observe check for cracks and swelling on any of the coil, then it is better you replace also.



Coil pack
The Injector/Fuel System Assembly – The next step is to check the fuel rail to see if the connection are ok and to check if there is blockage on any of the nozzle also I will also remove the fuel pump assembly to be sure the filter is not clogged and the pressure of the pump is optimal. In the process if any error is detected I will advise you replace.


Nozzle
The Oil Control Valve – Oil control valve is a critical part of any VVT – (Variable Valve Timing – Intelligence) engine . It adjust oil flow as required by the ECM, in most cases when the OCV is not functioning properly it mirrors the symptoms of a P0300.


The Harness/Wiring which ever way you understand it, you need to check all the connectors and wiring lines to see if there is break or cut either worn out or rodent manifestations so you won’t replace parts and still not get the desired result.

VVT-I Oil Line Leakages
Most Toyota products from 2003 has a problem of Oil consumption which was not new to Toyota’s technicians who push out a free diagnosis, but end up telling people off at a point where they discovered nothing can be done to savage the issue.

But in Avalon it was a different case as the most common issue with Avalon was the VVT-I oil line which most mechs give wrong diagnosis and the issue will still persist after the back and forth, in some case due to wrong diagnosis or nonchalant attitude of the owner it causes more engine damage and more cash to spend to fix it. In most the engine replacement is the lasting solution.

Good afternoon all ogas,

I travel to and fro Ife from Lagos with my newly acquired pathfinder, it was a smooth journey but I used 15k fuel to and fro. Although I was informed before buying the car there were no catalyst In the exhaust.

I priced catalyst and is above 100k which I can't afford now.

Do I have a remedy to catalyst that will save cost, and will it reduce fuel consumption? Pathfinder 2004 model

Thanks in anticipation.
