It could be that there is so much dirt on the throttle body of the car....get a mechanic to use an injection cleaner to clean the throttle body and see whether it solves the problem.


I'll check that on Monday. Thank you

I'm very certain it's not the brain valve since you dont have any code coming from the transmission.

Nna, what is the meaning of brain valve??

Hi guys,

I have a 2008 RAV4, when I start some days, it takes time to go into 'D'. I normally back out of my garage and then go out, when you put it in R, it engages normally, then you put it in D to move forward, the gear selector enters D, but it takes like 5 secs before the car starts moving forward. It mostly happens in the mornings, not everyday though. Please what could be the cause?

Run a scan to see if you can get anything out.

I have this problem i do not understand. It's the remote control of my car doors this thing operates or sort of presses on its own. I am inside my house at the moment and i can see that the red light that show on this thing similar to dstv remote when u press it is showing steady meaning there is a contact somewhere and if i get close to my car now the doors will start opening and locking at random. Is there a way to change this key remote? How do i go about this and how will i get the new remote i purchase to recognise this moto and open the doors?

Gurus in the house,
Currently my brother who stays in Europe has asked that I make a choice of car between a Lexus ES 350 2008 model or a Mercedes C300 2009 model.
I am confused at the moment as I don't know which to go for.
Please can I get advise here based on which of them is better for our Nigerian terrain.
I will appreciate your Inputs

Please I need help with my Jetta FSI.
When I start the car it will start normal but if I turn it off, I won't start again until after a very long time...

Please what could be the problem?

The mechanics here seem to be confused...

Good afternoon chief
Please I have a question about my 2018 rav4 xle. I filled The Fuel tank which is about 60L in size, from my calculation it ran about 200miles when the fuel got exhausted. So here's my question, is the fuel consumption normal or is it too high?
Note : My AC is on 85% of the time and the fuel guage isn't functioning properly
