but u can't use it for effizy... lol

Find gazzuzz contacts below, make sure u tell me wat solved d problem let me add to my knowledge too since I own same car

shinebabe:



We hardly buy our fuel outside NNPC and we've not bought black market for more than a year now.
The last mech that took out the pump ( even though other mechs who initially worked on it said it was the fuel pump but afterwards later found out that fuel was pumping well) didn't see any thing wrong with the fuel.
So it is not the fuel at all.
He only said the pump was clogged and replaced it.
My husband is considering going back to him to collect his original pump since the pump refit wasn't the issue.

Another thing is that each time after jerking to a stop, the plugs are blackened and after cleaning them and allowing the car to cool for sometime , the car will start again.

We initially thought it was the plugs and changed it twice!

The mechs are tired of picking our calls now cos I guess they have also run out of options
.
I won't mind the gazzuzz details if he can profer a permanent solution that is not too expensive cos we've spent far too much unbudgeted funds on the car and its frustrates him everyday.
Thanks

BOUNTYDOG:

Now that's how a car should be serviced. Not changing the oil and filter every 2 months.

Toyota products are very durable with good second/third/fourth hand value. Not forgetting excellent resale value, d moment u put for sale on it ur phone will start ringing plus cheap n readily available parts. Almost every naija mechanic can fix Toyota BC of its simple design

dapsonlou:


That is the best Camry Mechanically

shinebabe:


My husband has a Carina e XLI. Served for years and ha gone for even up to a year without a need for the mechanic but its parked now.

Started jerking and we tried several solution without success. The mechs or electrician will just come an assure that its a small thing, collect money an daftwr repairing, the car would still jerk. He bought new spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, changed a working fuel pump, and injector nozzles still no change. I would just start jerking especially when the car ha warmed. I know it has o do with with how the can deals with temperator anndhence an electrical fault but that's as far as my mech orientation would take me.

Have you experienced this before o know anyone with solution in Lagos? He's not a nairalander els I'd have told him to create a thread. Thankss

please take a picture of your engine bay and post the picture here.

Have you changed the coil pack or wires? That part seems to escape mechanics. Had a similar problem years ago-mech recommended I change spark plugs. Nothing changed. Then they recommended I clean my entire fuel system- a procedure so arduous that I quickly turned it down and looked for alternatives on my own I figured it would be the coil pack after a few minutes of Internet wandering - I dashed to Suame Magazine (Ghana's version of Ladipo) and got a new coil pack- car has been running great for years now.

shinebabe:

Is it the spark plug wires ?
The coil was checked but no fault was detected.

shinebabe:

Here is it .

billy187:


Yes, I'm referring to the spark plug wires as well as that thing they all seem to connect to. Is that the coil you are referring to?

GAZZUZZ:


7A-FE ready when you are.

shinebabe:

My hubby said you are referring to the distributor cap.
The thing is that the car suddenly lose power and jerks to a stop when the engine is warm.

Honda accord 1992 model... owned for 15yrs... still rides smooth

24-years-old, and still going strong. I've always had a soft spot for older Honda models. I especially love the model before yours, with the retractable headlamps.

May your Accord give you many more great years of service.

EMEKA1MILLION:
Nice wheels

billy187:


Exactly! Its also known as the distributer cap. Funny thing, that's what happened to me as well. The first time my engine lost power was when I was merging onto a highway- with an 18-wheeler barreling down the lane I just merged onto! That was one of my scariest driving experiences ever.

Anyways I think you should be good, now that you have gazzuzz on ur case. That's a guy that knows his onions.

All the best with your ride!
