Engine misfire. Where are you

Ebonyi state.

More info or just to buttress what I have said.

This happens after the car has sat for a while. The car will start well, drive well. Then after 3 or 4 minutes, the engine starts jerking.

It will return to normal after a minute. Then this won't happen again.

When I leave work in the afternoon or evening, it will repeat again after I have driven for 3 or 4 minutes and stop after a minute. Won't happen again and car will drive well afterwards.

Mechs here are very confused and I have rightly not allowed them tamper with anything.

2AZ is known for high oil burn or consumption

It'll be absurd to use that costly oil on the engine not only blc of the weight but how will you be topping coslty oil every week ,you go spend tire na..

Engine known for high burn out should advisably be scraped. There was a service bulletin by toyota to recall the old 2AZengines that consumed fuel if your camry was already shipped out of the US at that time then you suffer the oil burn but i see ur concern.

Thanks though.

According to Jumia, my scanner will arrive between 5th and 9th of March. That's still far.

Is there anything you may suggest I do before then?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thonyman: 8:08pm On Feb 24, 2021
I guess you are not in Abakaliki town, as I once diagnosed F250 with a kazeem that has scanner in the Abakaliki mechanic site situated before the Rice market, and was able to fix the Ford using YouTube videos to guide the Kazeem that handled it there.
Since you have ordered for a scanner, it worth to wait.

This may sound incredible, most of the kazeem (in that same mechanic site you described) I asked didn't know what a scanner was.

Please, are you still in the town or do you have the number of the kazeem that has the scanner? Or how can you direct me to him?

The scanner I ordered will arrive between 5th and 9th of next month according to Jumia. That's a long waiting time.

ABS light is mostly on
RPM tends to be unstable when ABS light is on

When the ABS light is off (occasionally), the RPM becomes stable & you get a smoother ride

How do I resolve this please..a man needs help!

CEL is permanently on.

Thanks in advance.

Biko.dont make me laugh sir. Do not just write out of assumption. Please make your research and give us feedback du-craft produces brake disc but oga you will pay with your nose that is why they first sell it as a package to you and if you insist on pads only they warn you. Please when ever you go to the us visit their shop and see for your self. They give you a complete package of disc and pads

Mr Man du-craft is a Nigerian owned brake pad manufacturing company. I don't know what you are talking about. I can send you ducraft customer care number. You can call them and find out if they also make brake discs. You are arguing blindly. I do not argue blindly. Call du-craft brakes on +234 909 927 2537. Same number on whatsapp.

Apologies. I stand corrected. My question is how come its sold in the US then? Well the nigerian is a big boy now
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thonyman: 8:32am On Feb 25, 2021
I no longer have the number as it was 2yrs ago he did the repair, i am also out of the area.
Why getting car scanner from Jumia when Gazzuzz and some couple of other guys here can deliver it to your address within 24hrs at a cheaper rate?
Or are you buying the more advance one that can scan abs? I suggest you cancel your order on Jumia if it is pay on delivery.

Good morning,

Please I want to buy Nisan Murano 2005. The price is good and the car looks ok but I have never used Nisan especially Murano before. My neighborhood requires raised vehicle due to bad muddy road .

The impression I normally get about Murano is the gear that in normally have gear issued like the 2001/4 model of Honda Odesey and how it is very expensive.

Your advice will be most appreciated.

Thanks..

Wish you luck in your buy. Just do not forget to fortify it with a GPS tracker, before you hit the road. Car jackers are on an alarming rise

Anything you put will work.

Engine will get to operating temp in 15mins as long as the engine thermostat is functional.

The only difference is the amount of coolant the double cell would and the rate of heat dissipation.



Now imagine a person was shot and bleeding out, who would die quicker the man with 5pints of blood or 3pints.


I would rather go for the double cell because it offers more protection in case of a leak, I could travel a further distance before I find glue grin

Answer 1: there are 2 running bars below all toyota and lexus nothing actually touches the floor except it is hilly

Answer 2: fake or bad brake pads, nothing more

Answer 3: open yoir engine, check the engine oil cover the oil type to use is written there. The oil to be used does not depend on the previous owner he might just be a slowpoke to use a cheap oil killing the engine

Answer 4: pit on your car press and hold the AFS off light for 3-5 seconds it should adjust itself and go off if not please give me a feedback
thanks boss, i have changed the oil, also the afs sensor is broken, as for the brakepad, an automech said i can still be using it ( since it was just changed too)

It's a very common problem on the Camry 2007-2009.

Video is long, but if you want to skip lectures just replace the abs module in pic below.
