Where is your location?
What type of car do you drive?
These things require a competent technician to handle. Also, require your pocket sha.
Also...
I do have check engine light constantly on
And a yellow triangular caution light that blinks whenever I'm driving but stops when I hit the brakes and the car comes To a stop...

I read it's likely from malfunctioning airbags control module ..

How accurate is the above?

Thanks. ...

You need a complete system diagnosis and then you can take up repairs from there. Some things may trigger other faults codes anyways.

Okay because the performance of the car isn't bad to the best of my knowledge (I'm new in the auto world sha)
But that's a whole lot of engine codes/faults..

And it only started misfiring a few days back....

Good evening. I just bought a Nigerian use Corolla 2005. I observed I used 30liters for 314 I'm in the city. Is tge fuel consumption ok

The reply to your question was wrong. You need to check yr odometer to know if it's calibrated in miles or kilometers.

If it's 314miles, and you achieved that with 30litres (8.1gallons), then your mpg is 38.7, which I can almost say is impossible for city driving even for a corolla.

If it's 314km (196miles), then your mpg is 24.2 which is just fair for a corolla.

So recheck and be sure.

Congrats on your new tokunbo car ... Since your car is a TOKUNBO .. You want to start off the right way to avoid premium tears.. The cost of parts and engine has gone up ........

I will not recommend that engine oil .. I will advice you to use well known brand.. The correct viscosity is 5w30 .. It will say it on the engine oil cap.. Pic below is an example were to find the oil cap

Toyota Camry 4plugs from 2007 to 2009 are known to short oil . Those engine had a recall few years back .. Some of them were fix and hopefully yours is among the fix ones.

Check my signature for updates....

hello all.
Is security light on my corral 2010 supposed be flashing. I mean the red light close to the stereo.
Why am asking is that, prior to now it's always come on fully after I locked the car and take my exit... today after I put back the battery head because I have not drive it for almost a week. I was not around.
I notice the security light (red) now flashes instead of the way it use to stay, I go around chk my neighbours lexus e330. His own is flashing too.
Which one is right and what could have gone wrong if any

214km is very poor for a 1.8L engine. You’re supposed to be doing nothing less than 9km per litter but you’re getting 7.1L. My wife’s 2.4L engine is doing 7.3Km per liter in the city
