Come no problem.


How can I reach you?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by CjEmmar(m): 6:56pm On Jul 08, 2021
GAZZUZZ:


1. Fuel pressure/ Engine tune up required.

Check fuel pump, clean injectors and plugs decarbonize if you have the means.


2. 3. 4.

Check powersteering pump for air leaks at the supply route, usually an "O" ring leak. Also change powersteering oil.

Finally ensure idle speed is not static and varies according to load.



GAZZUZZ thank you for the response, as you mentioned, they were the culprit and it has stopped and starts normally in the morning. But the challenge I'm facing now is that many places I have gone, they don't have "O" ring.

Please can you link me to someone or anyone or direct me to where I can get it.( I reside in Ogun state)

sorry

Just asking for possible cause of the problem.

GAZZUZZ:


Expect oil burn, Expect converted AC compressor.

Apart from that nothing special. Apply due diligence , go with a technician that knows what to look out for.
thanks a lot

Good Evening All. Please I have question.

U know that situation when u want to quickly over take a car ,, within a short period of time and in a tight place or when u want to overtake a trailer. Then u press your throttle with force and to the end , the can will behave like it's over charged and speed up so quick to give u turbor like speed, I think it is called TurborCharged.

My car can not do it again.

I removed it from Over drive still the same thing what could be the problem thanks .

I really miss that now I can hardly overtake kekebus ,

Toyota Matrix 2004

I have browsed everything and d final answers I could get online was over-drive and TurborCharger, I don't know why people laugh at that please u can browse it it's in almost in a every car and when it I take it to mechanic band explain this to them they hardly give me good reasons, but seriously overtaking is a real problem here.


I forgot to mention if I am climbing on an inclined surface , not hill just normal express way buy inclined upwards , my speed meter will climb at 40 mPH and stop until I am off to level ground, not like befor


We checked the coils 4 of them all good .
Changed new plugs all good .

Still speed up a tiny hill from 0MPH IT will rise to 40MPH and then be still den steady at 40 and start increasing when am off to level ground.

Even if am at 50MPH and above immediately I entered an inclined express way it will be dropping gradually and be steady at 40MPH .

I don't know where they scan cars in my region ,I need advice based on ur professional experience thanks

The destiny of your car has been hijacked wink



Trial and error will end up destroying your vehicle . Last time I checked , 2003-2007 corolla goes for ₦2.4m - 2.7m buy a scanner and ship it to your self where ever you are, scan the car, post the results, you can even become the local scanner guy in your area and makeup for the cost of the cost of the scanner in a short time.

You can buy a car scanner on Jumia and scan the car yourself. Costs ranges from 4k to 12k.
And it's plug and play.

The “O/D Off” button prevents the automatic transmission from being able to shift into the highest gear.

Make sure the light is not turned on




Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by bastien: 11:58am On Jul 09, 2021
Good morning boss my Camry 09 back light doesn’t come on, if I apply brake none of the light comes on but at night if I put the full headlight on the right side of the back and parking light comes on. Took it to mechanic (rewire) he check and said my back light led is dead I should buy a new back light!

Please boss any advise ?
