LPlease my car is IS250 2006 hasn’t been starting lately. check engine light, battery light and parking light all disappeared, one rewirer told me it was ECU, we changed it, changed 6 plugs, all the lights came back after so many touches and (the car won’t start still) , it drains battery quickly, like, I’m fed up and frustrated about this car and I just bought a new battery, I keep getting different batteries like I’m a charger. There’s like 10 liters of fuel in the tank. Please someone should help me out here.

Thank you for that advice bro. So that means this doesn’t require a rewire to check anything again. But he says the ECU doesn’t shock, please is there anything's to say about that sir?

Good evening gurus. Please what could be the problem with my 05 Honda Civic? It jerks while driving. Sometimes it looses power that I'll have to turn off the engine and restart it again. It doesn't show any error code when scanned. I've changed fuel pump, injector mouth, 02 sensor, nuzzles, ignition coils and spark plugs still the problem persist

Good day friends, i believe i can find help here.
I just got a Peugeot 607 with a faulty automatic transmission HP20 but i got a fairly used to replace it. Only to realize that it's mixing oil with ATF. I was asked to get another coolant pump of which i did but no improvement.

I was asked to change the valve body since the solenoid could be damage but yet the car is still in limp mode.

Please what else can i do.

Maroko ilaje Ajah. Back of vio office along Mobil road. I have tried to locate someone who can scan the car and they obviously didn’t come through. I’m even tired n don’t know what to do. This is two weeks. At first the check engine light disappeared and now it’s back on when I changed the ECU and the car won’t start still. I believe once the car is diagnosed, it should be fixed.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Padestiny: 7:20pm On Nov 29, 2023
If there is any lower amount scanner that I can buy from 6k to 8k that I can diagnose by myself and will work out perfectly, please someone should recommend I really need to fix this car it’s been two weeks I haven’t been able to sleep well. I just changed, ECU, 6 plugs, engine fan, relays, fuses and everything is ON on the dashboard but it won’t start.

A cheap scanner won't really solve your issue with the car, you need a competent technician not your touchy touchy trial and error guy.

Anyways try anyone here:

Good evening guys, I own a Corolla 2014 and I usually get an average of 18-20mpg before my car overheated and burnt the top gasket, after the repair, I started getting an average of 10mpg, please how do I get a better fuel consumption as usual. I need your professional input please.

Also I do not own a scanner and have not really met any reputable mechanic in my location which is Anambra. I’d appreciate if I get a referral to someone or somewhere my issues would be solved within Anambra, thank you very much for your inputs in advance

Your mechanic has likely tuned your cooling system to naija settings. Na something cause the overheating but na something else dem go do for you.

This means that your engine doesn't reach operating temperature and causes it to burn more fuel.

If you're confident the repair was handled well and the cause of the overheating was solved, reverse your cooling system to factory settings.

Or I may be wrong. Village people fit dey suck the fuel.

P0020 (crankshaft position actuator bank 2) and P0343 (camshaft position sensor) has to do with your crankshaft and camshaft position sensor which when weak will not send the required signal to the ECM and in turn the ECM will switch off spark and fuel delivery nah the problem of the first brainbox stopping your shocking issues.

P0123 and P2135 is your throttle sensor while P0453 is just emission that one can't cause the non start issue.

You will start your journey from p0020 and p0343, the rewire needs to find the required sensor, trace the wiring for continuity then clean the sensor if it's still same, you may need to replace the sensors with OEM.

Focus more on the P0343 because it can also mean you have timing issues but above all you need a qualified technician not some roadside doddle.

If you check mega chicken while heading to Ajah there is Mr milex/transmission there coloured yellow with big open space you can head in and relate with them if funds is not an issue. They can tow the vehicle to their garage and fix.

Besides there are many garages along that Ajah-lekki highway with technicians
