Please my liberty Jeep 08 shows check engine on dashboard and after scanning we found out catalytic converter and O2 sensor needs to be replaced. I bought new ones and they were replaced. Fuel consumption reduced and no more noise from exhaust but the check engine signal is still on and three new lights are on which are service 4WD and I can’t change from 2WD to 4WD Plus the road traction signal which is obviously due to the 4WD system when I checked the manual. Please what’s the solution?

The AC is not blowing as much as the Corolla I use what could be the cause as well?

car gurus, I noticed that in my Honda accord EOD 05 model, the speedometer moves erratically, the gearbox when in motion changes roughly, both on high speed and low speed, I diagnosed it, but got no codes, I feel it's the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) that's the culprit, my problem here is locating the speed sensor, but, wetin I know, car gurus in the house, kindly show me d location of d speed sensors, and if you have other solutions to this issue, I will be happy if you can tell me.

My brother! If you have gone to cotonou to buy a car which u wont be able to test past 6 feet or better still bought from auction like copart or export auction,would you call to ask for a refund or a few dollars from them to fix the shock?

It's not a new car,it is a tokunbo car.
Banking on the fact that u still have to balance up the seller and using that as a yardstick to fix the shocks would either bring issues between you and the seller who might start regretting why he gave out the car without collecting his cash in full.

It's just a shock absorber issue, not transmission or engine issue. Man up and fix your car,may God bless you and your car. Best wishes...

You are lucky it's just the front. There's always something to fix on a toks. Take it as one of those things, man up and fix.

GAZZUZZ:


faulty starter motor or faulty electrical connections to starter motor. Poor grounding can also be part of the problem.

@Gazzuz

I followed your advice and changed my kickstarter, the problem has gone.

Thank you, man. You sabi.

Greetings gurus in the house, so I took my car for an oil/filter change today only to discover my mech poured the entire 5quarts mobil 1 into the engine rather than toyota recommended 4.4quartz. I know it's a bad idea to have excess oil in an engine, but is the extra 0.6qt significant to cause damage??
Car is an 09 corolla, 2zr-fe and factory recommended oil refill capacity with filter replacement is 4.4qtz.
