Good afternoon boss Gazzuzz. After scanning my Camry 07 I got two codes, one indicates cylinder 3 misfire, and the other P0012. Please advice. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:30pm On Sep 01, 2020 |
forap: Any driveability issues? Have you always had any of those codes? Is it a recently purchased vehicle ? Take a clear pic of the engine number as inscribed on the engine, there is something I want to see. |

GAZZUZZ:It idles roughly (though it has been like that for a while), and also it seems the engine performance dropped a bit. I was initially having cylinder 2 and 3 misfire codes, then I changed the plugs (not by myself though), I didn't bother to clear the codes afterward, but I noticed the engine was running smoothly. I drove it some days afterwards and the check light automatically cleared, then at some point the light appeared again, after scanning I got the cylinder 3 misfire and P0012 codes. It's not a recently purchased vehicle, and the engine was purchased about 3 years ago. I will upload the engine picture when I'm able to snap it. |

forap: possible a buildup of sludge, and ignition coils or fuel injector issues. You need a technician to rule out the perp 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by forap(m): 9:12pm On Sep 01, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:By technician do you mean a good mechanic please. Also if they rule all these out, any other possible cause(s) to look out for? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:26pm On Sep 01, 2020 |
forap: Unless there was an undocumented event in the past I don't think compression should be an issue. |

GAZZUZZ:Thanks boss |

forap:Mine did same,i changed plug(wasted money) My mechanic checked for fuel injectors and found out before my eyes that the four was blocked,this explained why it wasnt accelerating fast enough . Cleaned with one liquid spray like that, all four. Now if u match throttle the car go zoom reach lagos 2 Likes |

kingreign: Plz when u say rattling sound, do u mean a sound like as if a coin or small object is moving around and hitting on the metal? I am hearing a kind of sound in my exhaust. I thought maybe a small piece of stone got inside etc |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingreign(m): 7:29am On Sep 02, 2020 |
madgoat:This one is like both large and small stones are filled in the exhaust. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by madgoat(m): 8:07am On Sep 02, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: If i may ask why? Just curious to learn sir. My car's (Honda Acccord 2010) recommended oil is also 5W20. Its even easier to see 5W30 than 5W20, so obviously this is an advantage to me. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ksmart027(m): 9:33am On Sep 02, 2020 |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DukeNija(m): 1:26pm On Sep 02, 2020 |
madgoat: Exactly why he recommended you stick to 5W30. |

The break master , brake disc , break pad About two weeks ago I noticed that the break oil was low , I topped it , today it was also low and I topped it Please can anyone know what could be the problem why it’s getting low |

Good morning house. I noticed the check engine and VSC light come on yesterday on my dashboard (RX 330) upon scanning, I got the code “P0333 knockout sensor 2 Circuit High Bank 2“ Please can anyone enlighten me before I reach out to a mechanic. This is the first time the check engine light has ever come on. |

dannybrasky: My brother, this is not my first car neither second for that matter. Secondly I just like my car to be in good condition whenever I can. Currently my car is in very good condition, however when I took the car to @kingreign to scan, he pointed out those concerns and I took them. In fact let me shock u guys abt my experience after I took the car to my mechanic to tell him the recommendation I had. He immediately call one panel-beater to check my catalyst, lo and behold that strong wired that they normally used in tying things if there no bolt is what we found in the middle catalyst, many of them where stored there. Everyone was shocked and tell me that this could have block overtime and cost serious damage to the engine. I dodge a bullet there and I Thank God. I have not change the cat yet but I been advised on what to do and I hv done it. The car sound is much better now. |

Hello Gazzuzz...i drive a 2007 Honda accord but discovered that my car on changing from gear 1 to 2 suddenly revs high and then burst forward..i have scanned and I got O2 sensor error and ABS sensor error..could these be responsible for the abnormal change from gear 1 to 2? |

emeystan: Took it to the mechanic and they found out the sov is bad and it’s spoiling the break master that’s what is causing the leakage , I replaced the both and immediately I collected the car back , if u put it on reverse the car stalls , my car has never stalled before , so I took it back to the mechanic and he said maybe because he removed the battery and the car has lost its settings . I’m suspecting he might have tampered with something |
