Automotive1:Bros please what could be wrong with my golf4. It just started loosing pressure to move and couldn't climb the smallest of hill. When I accelerate it just seize breath totally unless I half the throttle pedal. We thought it was filter, later plug and fuel pump...we changed each on different occasions...now it reverses but merely goes forward...at times it just goes off.. |

More often than not, when the car is tokunbo and more than 2-3 different mechanics have worked on it, the check engine light seemingly becomes unreliable |

Thanks OP for this educative thread. My Toyota corolla 05 model has been having the check engine light on for the past 2 months now. When I complained to those whom i believed knows more about vehicles said it will be cleared when i take it for scanning. |

I wanna paint my car and a friend adviced me to use sikkens auto base paint. Honestly I don't know were to get their office to buy the original of that paint. I don't trust road side ones. Anyone with their contact address should pls drop. I am buying it myself cos I was told some of this painter will charge you for sikkens but end up using alternative paint. Also they don't actually oven bake the cars but they charge for it. Anyone with sikkens contact office in Lagos should pls drop it here. Thanks |

mannycrown: Your car's brain box may be having issues, I used to see it on my car but ignored it hence the reason why the car won't have pressure at the first start until after over 10 minutes of starting it. When driving, I observed that it can't do much speed at time like needing higher speed to overtake. It could also be engine oil cover, oil shortage/rreplacement either in engine or gearbox. It could also be airflow pipes leakage. Sometimes, if you pick up a car made for American weather, knowing fully well that once it comes over here, your mechanic will advice you to remove the thermostat that helps to heat up the car to function appropriately to commiserate with the weather in order not to overheat the car . By removing such device, you could get a check engine signal on a steady. Hope this helps 1 Like |

hadjipapiey: Have your pathy scanned for the possible codes,but blinding check engine light on Nissan pathy means a catastrophic failure. I had same issue on mine when the cat converter ripped apart and block my exhaust. Scan indicated multiple cylinder misfire. 1 Like |

Good day everyone pls I really need help with my car, I sold my Honda accord Eod for 420,000 December because the engine knocked and I couldn't spend any money for a new engine. If I tell you how much I bought it you will weep for me. It all started with overheating as soon as I leave the house in less than 10 minutes it will over heat like hell and car will stop. I changed top casket twice but nothing changed it was the 2nd I changed that's when the engine finally packed up. The oil pump stopped working probably from the over heating and you know what happens next. Metals started grinding and that was it. Had to sell the car. Now I bought a Volkswagen Jetta last month because its cheaper and I believed it will be less expensive to maintain,but lo and behold its overheating again I have changed top casket last week and as I am writing this I don't drive the car again because I am scared it might go and knock this one engine again. Pls what could be the problem with any car I buy always overheating. Is there a way I am driving that others don't drive. Mind you the fan is working fine and very well. I need help |

So far, the cars I have owned, has not had the check engine light activated. |
Re: Top 6 Reasons Your Check Engine Light May Be On And Also Blinking by uboma(m): 9:15pm On Feb 12, 2018 |
sammywalterz: hard luck bro. However, replacing the top gasket to solve over heating issues won't yield the desired results. Replacing the engine of your Jetta will solve the issue. Jetta is a good model from the Volkswagen family. You probably bought an abused Jetta car. |

Richlife247: Sure, ride is back from mechanic and better. He figured it's the airflow stuff. Got them two changed! And that was it! The jerking stopped. He also cleaned the battery head and the Check light went off. Thanks brother, at least i had an idea from your post what mechanic's options were before i revisited! Thanks again. |

Re: Top 6 Reasons Your Check Engine Light May Be On And Also Blinking by Nobody: 2:23pm On Feb 13, 2018 |
sammywalterz:though Volkswagen a good name when it comes to cars, but u should not have opt for it, if u must go for it first search for mechanic that knows the in and out of Volkswagen, overheating is common to volks products, how i know? - have been there, my Golf 4 is still on work process. |

Please my toyota corolla 2000 check engine light has been blinking for 2 days now. When I on it to warm it in the morning, after like 2 seconds of starting the key, it will make one sharp sound close to the timing belt and immediately the car will off. I have been seeing some codes before now which are :1, vvt system malfunction bank 1 2, System too lean bank 1 3, Random multiple cylinder detected. What can be the problem or how do I solve it please. Thanks 1 Like |
