Toyota Camry 2012 SE Automatic 4 plug Petrol Issue: Check engine light with error code P2238 and P2195. I have changed o2 sensor, air flow meter (advised by mandilas). But a local Rewire is telling me the error has been registered on the brainbox until I change it before it can be cleared away. Any advise sir |

MrWalban: After fixing the car, you are supposed to use an OBD scanner to erase check engine light. It resets it and if the light comes up again, you scan to check if it's the same fault or a different fault. |

Hello Cardoctor, Lexus Es 300 2002 Automatic 6 cylinders Petrol Issues: Car has a rough idling and delayed throttle response. Hard starting is experienced only when I buy fuel. Upon scanning, only the o2 censor came up. I have changed fuel pump and fuel filter but symptoms persist. I read up online and my attention was drawn to the evap canister beneath the tank but I'll like to hear from your experienced hand. Pls help. Thank you |

cooleo: https://www.nairaland.com/1487612/club-lexus/20#33875212 Follow this thread careful, you will see it is common with Lexus. Try checking your A/F sensor as stated by gazzuzz. He is one of the best around. Kingreign could also be of help. Search their details and call them if need be |

Honda Accord 2011 4 plugs Transmission issue. Gear selector on dashboard is not active. Also,even though the gearbox has been changed, we still have a problem of the gear not shifting once it gets to gear 3 that is to say that the gear shifts normally from gear 1 to 3 but once you get to gear three it does not up shift. What could possibly be the problem? |

Hello cardoctor Toyota 4runner 2006 Automatic V8 Petrol Issues: I noticed for sometime now that when I am turning my steering wheel especially when driving I hear a humming sound. But the main issue is that when the vehicle is stationary and I tried to turn the steering wheel, it will be hard. I have to be using force to turn it especially when trying to park the vehicle. Kindly help me out. Thank you |

Hi Good People, My Honda 2008 (Evil Spirit) won't start till the third time of starting. This comes with a key blinking icon on dashboard which disappears once the car starts. I took it to Oyingbo and some suckets where changed, fuel pumped cleaned and a sensor in the crankshaft also cleaned but still didn't work. I initially changed my car keys thinking the sensor in the key was faulty. I need your advise |

Hello Cardoctor, Mazda Rx-8 Automatic 4 plug Petrol (Engine was converted to Opel) I had an engine knock in April and I tried replacing it after a month. I got the new Opel engine and the mechanic successfully replaced the new one with the bad one. Now, after it was fixed, the working of the car was not really top notch like it was, before the engine got bad. The mechanic/Rewire started doing trial and errors on what could have went wrong (changing the brain box, coil and even the fuel pump). The car starts, and stops immediately you put it on drive, and for other times, it takes a while to start. The person who actually did the engine conversion is not presently in the country. I don’t know if I can’t get any help here.

Hello cardoctor Peugeot 206 , The mechanics connived with some hausa people and defaced the vehicle completely The wireless key controller not working , fuel consumption is very ridiculous, after buying fuel , fuel can suddenly finish Throttle problems How can i get a reliable car person to fix it ,as most of the people advising me to visit their mechanics, their cars are not properly fixed but they keep carrying to the same mechanic every week to fix a problem all the time, some of these mechanics are really dubious |

Hello CarDoc, My Camry 2009 4 plugs which I purchased around March is always shorting engine oil. It has a 146k mileage. What can I do to remedy this as the cost of a new engine is expensive at the moment plus I haven't driven the car for too long. Thanks |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Dozieson(m): 4:18pm On Sep 07, 2021 |
kennyclassic: The only remedy should be changing the rings or changing the engine 1 Like |

Hello. My corrola 10 dat I just bought naija used makes some sound after I serviced it and d mechanic says it's self adjustment nut inside the engine that it's not a knocking sound. He fired the car to prove it and nothing happened. Prior to purchase there was no sound but d engine has been worked on before. Now I don't know what sound could dat be and the engine doesn't smoke. I tend to travel wit d car to rivers state but I'm not really happy wit ds state of d vehicle. He called d nut "cam shaff" inside the engine, I didn't get d right pronunciation as I presume ds shd be in kazeem dico. It's not camshaft according to him but ds cam is inside the engine and it's self adjusting. When the oil circulates well it will disappear but it hasn't from around 9am to 5pm... Pls help Dozieson |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Dozieson(m): 7:03am On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: Cam shaft gear noise is noticed when you have a cold start and goes away when the car is warm. It has to do with oil circulation as well because majority of us are not using the specified oil. GazzuZZ and Kingreign are the professionals to do justice here |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Hallenjay: 10:19am On Sep 08, 2021 |
Dozieson:thanks so much I appreciate, does it have to do with engine about to knock cos I can't differentiate der noise yet |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by homeboy205: 10:21am On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: Firstly you need to isolate where the noise is coming from, is it from the top, middle or under?? |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Hallenjay: 11:11am On Sep 08, 2021 |
homeboy205:close to the alternator belt, seems from the engine sha... That's where d sounds is coming from. It's top. |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Dozieson(m): 11:44am On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: Should be a rattling noise. Nothing to do with knock. But have you scan the scar for codes? Advise you to scan and share the codes here. If you can buy the obd Bluetooth scanner, then you can do it on your own. |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Dozieson(m): 11:46am On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: Then the problem should be cam gear. Not that expensive to fix but mechanic should be careful not to cause damage in the engine. Sit with the mechanic when replacing the cam shaft. And stick to the right engine oil 1 Like |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by homeboy205: 1:52pm On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: It won’t knock |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Hallenjay: 2:28pm On Sep 08, 2021 |
Dozieson:I want to learn ds... Let me consult Google because check engine light and ABS shows and d mechanic say may be de ve work on it and clearing it is d issue dat car is working fine. Gear selects well and everything works except d noise but I want to get rid of d lights. |
Re: Mention Any Car Issues You Are Currently Experiencing And We'll Help You Solve I by Dozieson(m): 2:59pm On Sep 08, 2021 |
Hallenjay: To get rid of the light just scan the car and post the codes |
