Chevrolet avalanche update:

After extensive test drive, seem to understand the problems of this car a little more.

The check engine light is gone and there are no errors on the engine or transmission ECU

But

1. 2nd gear does not engage: initially after the first test drive, what I thought was a delayed shift from 1-2 was actually a shift from 1-3! 2nd gear seems to be missing, we will search for it tommorow

2. Battery or starter motor bad: vehicle cranks well from cold position, but when hot cranks really slow, and basically shuts down all the electronics of the car when that happens.

3. When car is cranked from hot temp, it tends to reset engine ecu, due to extreem drop in voltage caused by bad starter or battery, this causes the engine ecu to start a throttle re-learn function, and gives a very low idle.

Armed with this new info will take out starter motor and check transmission tommorow.

Hello Mr Gazzuzz, Please I need your professional advice as I'm in Abeokuta at the moment.

I bought a Tokunbo Corolla 2003 LE(American spec) in December 2015 but as a new driver, I've not been doing things right.

First, I travel from Lagos to Abeokuta and Abeokuta to Lagos fortnightly but always jumps in and out of pot holes(as an inexperienced driver). Again, whenever I park, most times, i remove the car key before I realize I've not put the gear in park position.

Yesterday, I stopped to refill my tank which was exactly at half-tank mark on the indicator but didn't remove the key from the ignition and my car was on drive while the attendant was attending to me. Afterwards, I set out to Abeokuta from Lagos and behold by the time I arrived Abeokuta the CHECK engine light was on. What could be the problem, sir?

Thanks and so sorry If this is not the right forum for this

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
