That's normal for cars starting cold...... just means your engine is trying to pump oil faster to lubricate parts.

Not usually a problem unless it lasts for too long and there's other things wrong with the car

clean ur fuel filters, if very dirty, buy another one, also, check if ur fuel pump is pumping fuel at d required PSI.

I'll look into the fuel pump, I noticed the car jerks when I try to accelerate and when I down shift to overtake.

But where do I get quality pumps, I don buy 2 pumps in the space of 6 months.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Ibadanchief(m): 10:50pm On May 08, 2019
Good Evening all,I have a Kia Rio,2014,this morning,I was trying to park with Reverse,I was suppose to climb just a small hill,which on a normal day,a little touch on the accelerator should push ,but today,I had to go forward like twice,den came back with force. Its embarrassing. I also noticed,while driving, if I should either step on the brake to a stop,before it picks up,it takes time,if I make a turn at a T junction,before it picks up,it takes time. I have to press hard before it moves. Please what can I do ? No check light on my Dashboard yet.

You should scan your car. That's too long.

Then again are you using proper oil grade? and when was your last service?.

Also factors.......

Hello all, I need help as to the most effective method of lifting a vehicle.

My car is quite low and I’ve had to visit the exhaust repair shop regularly.

I’ve been told all sorts from a change of tyre rims to padding the springs with foam and the rest.

I’d really appreciate some help. Thank you.

complain is very delicate. First of all forget that check engine light in all Dana produced kia/hyundai, it's a bloody scam, better to scan vehicle for errors.

Possible misfire
Possible Variable timing issues
Possible loss of engine compression.

Did car overheat of recent?

with your strut and coil spring setup, you can adjust height with stiffer coil springs, you will get extra height at the expense of comfort.

You can also use tyres with larger diameter.

Gasoline is another word for petrol which is another word for premium motor spirit (PMS) which is a form of fuel. so his idom means 12 is same as a dozen

intake side, the IMRP harness is disconnected. Never seen IMRP that died, but there's always a first time cheesy
update. Vehicle doesn't have the intake manifold runner valve sensor. Learnt not all Camry have it. I later found out the ECU was changed. Also discovered ECU currently in the vehicle isn't the correct Camry ECU with respect to part number. So I believe the vehicle that originally owned that ECU had IMRP. So the ECU is expecting input which it isn't getting. Hence throwing up the code. Correct ECU has been ordered. Thanks boss.
