Good Morning Gazzuz,
Please my 2015 Camry,
on the point of offloading from the container, the shaft pulled, done the replacement but since then, it jerks badly on the 2nd and 3rd gears...


Have the right amount of oil inside?

If yes, then you have a contaminated valve body

Campaigns with video pitches raise on average 114% more than campaigns with no video. Which means that it’s a pretty good idea to make a video pitch for your campaign

Engine E46 4 plug

GAZZUZZ Help me;

After changing the turtle Atuator the EML light gone and my car still do not accelerate above 30mph.

The car was scanned with lunch device and no code came up.

The car starts at one kick and idles very well. It also drives fine if you do not go above 20mph

Am suspecting the ECU is bad.

Sorry sir

Good afternoon Oga GAZZUZZ, i have a Camry 2004.
When the car is at a stop the AC cools on low, but once taken to level 2 or 3 the ac refuses to cool until it the car is in motion.

Also the engine runs smoothly, but once ac is on the engine feels heavier and drags & the idle is unstable in stop position.
Pls what could be responsible?

Tune engine.

i.e resolve the rough idle. Plugs, nozzle service, clean throttle body. Of course scan the vehicle.

I want to assume you still have the factory compressor. If it still persist, compressor has low pump pressure. Replace!

Strange there are no codes.

How long have you owned the vehicle? How long have you used total? What grade of total oil did you use .

There are good painters in Abeokuta. Visit any, look at finished jobs. Shuddy jobs are hard to conceal.

It Had the EML light on permanent and brought up code for throttle actuator. That's why it was changed.

Difficult to tell you what to do, switching back from mineral to synthetic oils have been known to cause undesirable results like smoking, and oil burn.

I will however suggest a gradual switch using Mobil super 5w40 . Oil changes at 3000miles.
