autodudez: From my experience in Nija as an Automotive proffessional i have come to the conclusion that the major problem we face which has caused many car owners lots of head ache frustration and money is proper diagnosis or troubleshooting of car faults.so let do proper diagnosis here.post your problems and lets solve it here and save you time money and head achePlease what will make a car not to raive well,raive as if there is not much fuel,but it starts one hand,only need small tarping on accelerator to till it fully come up,i think something is hindering the power transmition especially on gear.please advice. |
Re: Fix All Your Troubling Car Issues by Nobody: 2:00pm On Sep 09, 2013 |
Henry Raphael: To get the best advice, why not mention the engine conversion? Or at least link your other thread? |

Siena: My oga siena,i really need solution to this problem,even if am to sell the van atleast i need to give somebody good thing 'we dont pluck out the eye socket just because we want to remove sand.there could be other way to resolve this and you know it,just that when people hear convertion,they feel is something strange,i have seen passat engine in Danfo,even toyota engine in freelander of which you have seen here.the problem is between the mixture of air and fuel,the gear selects well and it runs well,but just at the raiving of engine.You have solved bigger issue here,i know what you can do,just that when you hear the convertion of a thing you take it as there is nothing you can do but there is sir,If fuel pump pumps well and injector does the work well and air and fuel enters appropriately what will stop the car from moving. |

My car consumes engine oil. In less than a month after full servicing the oil was already short, i had to top with another 2 litres. i work on the island and live at oworo so the distance isnt much. then the exhaust smokes too. been to different mechanics. One said i have to ring it. Another said its an injector problem. Then 2 others said to change the engine totally. So, what would you advice. Thanks |

Thanks if its consuming oil then rings might be the culprit....it may also be the oil seals provided there is leakage in the engine bay and noticeable oil drops when parked. That said what is the color of the "smoke" black or bluish....the former is linked to the fuel system (injector) while the latter has to do with engine oil...so what is your car "smoke" color? Now what type of car are you using? |

Hi. I had this problem with my Toyota corolla 2005 American specs a while back. The car refused to start after I had changed the fuel pump like 4 times in 2 wks. I noticed that in the mornings the car would start. If I drove for like 5km then stop to buy something for like a minute or two, the car would refuse to re-start. It continued like this for a while. . However if I leave the car for like 2-3hrs to cool, it would then start. What could have been the cause |

tee2faith: Please help o! my experience with Mobil 1000 is very unpalatable. The oil is too light. My mechanic recommended it as high grade when i got the sienna but it wasnt delivering the protection i wanted for my engine. Whenever i do a 700km trip, it shorts oil so much. So i now use cheap A-Z multipurpose oil for my 1998 Sienna... Good result obtained. |

Good day car gurus, pls i have a challenge. With my Nissan pathfinder 2001 model..the car started jerking all of a sudden with the check engine light coming on and off. Did a scan and got an error code with d description "cylinder1misfire detected". Now d car does not start. I got my mechanic to check and see wat d issue was and apparently, the spark plug in d cylinder 1 seems to have had its firing head scrapped by metal. We replaced d plug and same thing happened with the new plug also getting its firing tip scrapped and pressed all d way down. My mechanic says dere is a problem in dat cylinder and he would have to disassemble the engine to find out what it could be. Pls does anyone have a clue what could be causing this and how serious this problem really is? |

Please my '07 camry brings out white smoke (not too much though) in the morning, what could possibly be the problem? I think (i may be wrong though) that it's more severe immediately after I change the oil. I use mobil 1000.. Thanks |

Hello experts in the house. I just got a car from a frnd. A 2001 honda accord v4. It drives fairly smoothly, but has some isssues. 1. It leaks a little engine oil. 2. When the AC is on, and the car is in traffic , and I'm stepping on the brake while on gear 4, the engine vibrates a lot. 3. Also , when I've driven for a while, and negotiating a turn, the sterring hums loudly.( I've topped up the sterring fluid but it didn't work) 4. I also feel , it needs maintenance by a good mechanic. Can any one in the house speciall the likes of CARDOCTOR direct me to a good mechanic that can look at the car as a whole and advise me accordingly?? Any help will be greatly appreciated.p.s I'm in lagos. Any place around gbagada. Yaba ,surulere etc will do |

I have changed the spark plugs and changed oil + filter 4. introduced injector cleaner into the fuel system. i had cleaned the injectors what else can i do? any body in lagos had similar issue and how was it resolved? awaiting your responses |
