I have a situation please, my radiator cap was opened for top up this morning an I forgot to cover it after. The car was driven from ajah to Lekki and back for church. Was heading to the mainland frm ajah about 1hr ago when I noticed the temperature gauge was in the red zone so I parked. That's when I saw I didn't replace the radiator cap and its lost. I topped up with water and continued my trip keeping an eye on the temp gauge. The gauge was in red again when I was on carter bridge but it went back to normal while I was looking for a safe sport to park. Same thing happened like 4 times before I got to home. What does the gauge fluctuation mean? Should I be worried?
NB: radiator cap will be replaced tomorrow

Cold water. Hot heads not always a good recipe.

Please help. The water in my radiator boils once I park. The fan comes on automatically after engine is a bit warm. It has 2 fans which start one after the other. Electrician suggests I bypass the auto start of the fans so they both blow at ignition. Is this wise. If not what else can I do

Toyota Camry 1998.

Another point of note; after driving for a while the speedometer stops reading and the odometer display becomes blank. Once this happens the gear shift/chnaging becomes erratic.

Did a few research online and while some says it's the speed sensor others say it's the instrument cluster abi na dashboard display dem dey call am sef... grin

Thanks for your assistance.

you have a failing Vss (vehicle speeed sensor) it is located on the gearbox. Easy to replace in 5mins.


The other code from experience is either the absence of a camshaft sensor, or wrong timing settings.

Hello Gazzuzz. I changed my gear box last year August. Camry '06. 13 pin. After d initial attempt to scamm me into using an 11 pin, I got 13pin installed.

Enjoyed it since then. Last week, I noticed a jerk as it moved from 1 to 2 @ 40-50km/hr. I stopped n checked d transmission fluid. It was clear. Am using Toyota IV or something like that. It didn't happen again till today. It has happened 4 times.

Please what should I do? The car moves freely n speeds without any problem

Thanks alot. I have finally seen it. The sensor is not connected, no cable attached to it.
The question is if no cable attach to it suppose not to show any error of knock sensor from ECU.
The problem now is dat mechanics in my state don't know wat a knock sensor is. They argue dat it's not a sensor but oil switch. I have to look for the cable to attach it together.

when a part that is supposed to be monitored by the engine ecu is missing it will throw a code.

Thanks. Am presently using Toyota WS. Will scan d car and get back to you sir.
