First, take your car and run far away from that "rewire".

Next, go get yourself a cheap scanner.
Scan the car.

I did de scanning, dis is what i get

P0135

P2185

Bigsunny01:





It has one odour which i can't really tell

LeonMacJames:
Does it smell my fuel?

davessales039:


For P0135, bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen sensor heater circuit malfunction. https://www.samarins.com/diagnose/p0135.html

For P2185, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High Voltage
I suspect the coolant sensor on the radiator has been bupassed and fan is always on, right? If this is not the case, then you should check is sensor is properly connected (not shaking).

Better still, check your vehicle into a decent workshop (not those trial and error ones). Physical inspection and brief history needed.

Yea it smells fuel burnt

LeonMacJames:
that means your engine is running too rich. The air to fuel ratio is unbalanced . It's getting in more fuel than air.
this could be caused by

1. A leaking fuel injector
2. A blocked fuel return pipe
3. A broken oxygen or airflow sensor
4. A fuel pressure regulator that is permanently or stuck closed.

You should scan your car to narrow down the problems and attack the cause. Changing brain box is lazy and expensive work

Hi Guys,

I drive a toyota corolla 2004, i just changed my engine when the old engine was smoking. The old engine was working fine except for the smoke, after changing the engine, i discovered i couldn't go more than 60km/h and climbing hills becomes a problem.

I went back to the mechanic today to complain, so he checked the car with his machine and there was no error code on the machine.

He invited a gear mechanic to check the car and the man tested the car by driving it.,he told us that the problem is the car brain valve and i will need to change it.

My fear now is that i don't want to spend another money on the brain valve and the problem still remains.

Please kindly advise if i can go ahead.

Good e evening. I noticed in my MB that it emits black smoke. Everyone keeps pointing that it’s the air philometer but the issue is that all the sold used air philometer checked does not match and my mechanic says it’s not a guarantee that a brand new one will match. Don’t know what else to do. Also can I get the attached picture from anyone around?

seanfer:


OP try and buy a complete Belgium fuel pump. Also it is called Air-flow meter not Air philometer

Churock:


Thanks for the correction. Where can I get the Belgium fuel pump and is it for the 2 tanks? Also how about the Airflow meter? Got an idea where to get it too?
PS: I’m in Enugu

seanfer:


You can try the spare part market in Anambra.

My car misfires at cold but runs smoothly once the engine is warm.

I took it for a scan, the results are in the pictures below.

Anyone with an idea how much the pipe that connects the steering pump to the steering rack is sold for? Mine is leaking and I constantly have to top up Power Steering fluid.
