Goodmorning oga gazzuzz, i humbly await your answer in regards to this issue am facing and that code p0607 is the only code that came out





you have a scan tool, stop using it for a while I guess you are always clearing codes.

If You are not then you have a bad ECU.

After a few days of driving the other code/codes should appear

@GAZZUZ.


Since I cleaned my throttle body, I noticed car started jerking when I step on the gas pedal.
What could be the cause sir?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kanshi1(m): 2:36pm On Mar 19, 2023
Seems little moisture touched the ECU which is why it threw the code cos the bonnet was left open at the mechanic shop and little rain got to it.

I unplugged and plugged it back, drove extensively today and no code was found...i scanned again and no single code came on the scanner.


Thanks oga gazzuzz

Check if you left any hose unplugged or clamp not well tightened.

I don't know who does your work, but PS pumps are resilient, takes a lot to wear them out used or new.

Or maybe the steering rack is bad

Bought mine in 2019, till date I haven't. I know someone that got his' in 2017, he's not change too. Though ours are direct toks. If yours is direct too, I'd advise you leave the car alone.
Wrong advise!

Contrary to what toyota or other manufacturers tell you, Automatic transmisison fluids are not meant for life. They are meant to be changed at some point in time, usually 30k miles.

If the transmission oil Is dirty drain and refill.

Clear code. If it comes back ignore it, or replace the engine ECU

Hmmm! But wait o. Shebi the car can throw a sign on the dashboard or blinks the drive light to show there's something wrong with the ATF? Or does the ATF just spoil the gearbox if it's bad?

Dear Gazzuzz and others, please help.

I noticed my Toyota Camry 2002 isn’t shifting into 4th gear. When it shifts from 2/3 and the pedal is stepped on, it Revs up to 3k and doesn’t shift to 4.

I haven’t changed the gear oil since it was bought toks in November 2021. What could cause this? 1-3 shift smoothly though and reverse works perfectly.

Scan for knock sensor codes.

Not a perfect science.

Fixing the threads might not work.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Nadingo: 11:28am On Mar 23, 2023
Good day folks. Pls I'm having problem of hard starting in the morning with my C180 w202. Problem started about 4days ago. I don't really know what I do right to get it to start as every morning, I have to keep touching and pressing the fuse box in the bonnet and the one in the trunk severally before it finally agree to start. But once it starts, even if I switch it off immediately, the vehicle will have no problem of starting again through out the day till next morning. Like if I struggle and it starts and I shut the car down immediately, don't try to start again till in the evening, it will start on first kick. But if I use the car and shut it off by 1am, the car will struggle to start when day breaks. Kindly assist me.

Good day, guys.
Recently I perceive the smell of burnt rubber whenever I accelerate swiftly. Any idea what may be causing this in an 08 honda accord?

Good evening GAZZUZZ and other car gurus,

My 2010 corolla car came with steel wheels and I am considering changing all the wheels to alloy but a guy I spoke with says I have to buy another type of tyres that are compatible to alloy wheels that my current tyres only work for steel wheels.

I would like to know if this is true.

Thanks

Hello Dears,

My Toyota Matrix 2006 engine vibrates excessively even at 730rpm wen on D & R but smoothens out on N. Again, my confusion is, it runs very steadily on 900 to 1000rpm even on D & R.

Scanned & got these codes only:
1. P0128
2. P0441

Previous repairs: Engine mounts rear & front replaced, replaced air filter & cleaned throttle body & car has been driven more than 300miles since then. All coil are brand new, all iridium spark plugs look ok upon inspection, Change cold start switch.

What else is my issue guys.
