Good evening sir, pls can you help me interpret this codes
P0172
P0101
P0012
Camry 2009 sport
And possible solutions. Thanks

172 engine is running rich (more fuel to air in combustion )

101 MAF with circuit code, not working efficiently but not throwing an air temp code so it's connected fine but misbehaving.

P0012 timing related code.


Check for an air leak on intake side for code 1 and 2

Sure we are not dealing with a transmission issue?
Here's sensors parameters dont know if any is our of factory specifications

I have suggested severely to change ECM ( brain box) considering doing that since I'm out of ideas.
Thirdly the car is manual drive

Good morning house.

I got a great deal on an almost tokunbo 2009 Camry. The issue with it is that it revs up to 5,000 rpm before switching to second and third gears.

I’d like to know if it would be wise to go ahead and buy it and just change the transmission box. And how much would another transmission cost.

Thanks

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Dat2jo: 4:37pm On Jun 21, 2021
Good evening Mr Gazzuzz. I just returned back home and repossessed my car that I left with my younger bro and I noticed that when the car is idle and you engage the transmission in drive or reverse, there is this intermittent long vibrating kind of humming sound that comes out of the car. Sound continues when car is being driven and it's in first year but goes away once it changes to the second gear. Car changes fine without issues. I also noticed that the transmission fluid is a bit overfilled when I check the dipstick and it's kind of dark in colour. Secondly vehicle info on the dash is telling me I am getting 13.7mpg and it's not throwing any lights aside ABS and VSC. Vehicle is 2012 Ford focus with apx 54k miles. Thanks .

Good evening House, I change my Spark Plugs every 2 months, I want to know if this is normal, the spark plus I buy are N1,000

I read someplace where people say they change spark plugs every 100,000km

Best Regards

I Don't change for fun, I just notice rough idle and hard start, when I then change the spark plugs, everything comes back to normal
