Replace catalyst, or buy O² sensor spacer, or keep driving without it.
Whatever you do, don't use wire mesh or any other funny substance in place of it
know any seller of O2 spacer? please link us up boss cheesy

I’m considering a Cat delete. I would still use the housing though but i would take out the guts and use a o2 sensor spacer like you recommended for the other guy. Can’t imagine losing my engine because of a cat considering it’s even a 2AZ-FE engine that has factory installed oil burning issue. Thanks so much for your contribution bro. Very grateful


where una dey see the O2 spacer buy and how much, a friend needs it

Good evening sir.. recently when I apply brakes while in motion the wheels makes a continuous squealing sound. I Ve changed clippers,pads and brake disc but the sound won't just go away.
Change your mechanic.
That shouldn't be a difficult fix. If you've changed all that with original parts, the noise should go away.

Honda Accord vibrations

Let me try to explain this issue.

Car drives well.

However, when I apply the break and the gear on DRIVE, rpm goes to 500 while the bonnet vibrates....that is engine vibrations.

If I turtle just a bit let's say rpm increases to 700 vibrations stop and further drive is excellent.

Car idle smoothly in PARK around 700-800 rpm.

Please note that all engine mount are in top shape.

Car is Honda Accord 2007.

My question.

1. Why this vibrations?

2. Rpm is not low on idle ( car in Park)
If rpm is low, can it be adjusted in Honda Accord 2007?

It is a puzzle that has remained unsolved.

Kindly help me.
Codes

P0141

P02185.

I don't think they have anything to do with the vibrations.

P0141 is for downstream oxygen sensor. It's just for Cat monitoring and emissions.

P02185 is for the second ECT sensor at the radiator.

That RPM at 500 when gear is engaged is pretty on the low side and enough to cause the vibration.
Thoroughly clean the throttle body and do an idle relearn to see if it helps.

Good Morning house, I noticed this about my Highlander 09. Whenever I speed up above 100kmph, there's this smell of rotten egg in the car. After sometime it will stop.

I don't want to go to the Kazeems without knowing what could be wrong.

Nothing is wrong.

Check the seals in your trunk, it is allowing air in from the exhaust .

It's from your catalyst.
Take it out and replace with another good one.

at operating temp with a scanner on live , turn on the AC and compare rpm readings .

Please, sir, what could be the cause of that thing. It happens to my 2007 Toyota corolla as well.

Sometimes, I turn on the ignition and the oil sign shows and goes off after starting engine.

And sometimes, I turn on the ignition and the oil sign will not show.

The oil light display you see on the instrument cluster work with the oil pressure switch, it is an on and off switch, when the is oil pressure the circuit is open, and when oil pressure is below threshold, circuit is closed. If you turn on the ignition sometimes the oil pressure could still be holding a few secs after turning off engine (common ins sludge filled engines) bit does not mean switch is bad or engine is bad .

I
If oil light remains off after 1min of turning off engine, pls replace oil pressure switch should.be replaced .

Good day Oga Gazzuzz, my '04 Rav4 stalls and hesitate at the slightest hill.. The power reduces after climbing ordinary bump.. They try scanning but couldn't as the brainbox was free code..
My mechanics said we should change the brainbox that it might likely be the problem because we've change pump, plugs, clean injector but problem persists..
Please anybody with this kind of problem and way out would be appreciated..

My 2010 camry leaks oil. I've changed the oil seals close to power steering belt and battery belt where the problem was initially detected and yet there's still leakage on the floor every morning I'm leaving my car park. GAZZUZ pls i need advice.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by peterayo33(m): 2:18pm On Apr 07, 2023
My vehicle is a Toyota Corolla 2005.

Problems:
1. It was unable to climb hills and runs very heavily(drags).
2. Guzzles fuel.
3. Jerks when accelerating
4. Consume engine oil (I top the engine oil every 3 days with 1litre)
5. Engine is always hot.
6. Coils fail to spark (Sometimes more than one Coil fails to spark)
7. Kills plugs anyhow

NOW:
1. I have changed the gear oil.
2. Done servicing as directed by the mechanics.
3. Changed plugs (Many times), Nozzles, fuel pump/Filter, changed plugs coils, Coal Start (3times), Throttle mouth, and Throttle Pedal sensor.

OBSERVATIONS
*The vehicle works well as soon as mechanics are done fixing it, but next same very issues reoccur after a week or so and keep getting worse.
* I have scanned the car countless times.

1. Code - P0504
Description - Break Switch "A"/"B" Correlation

2. Codes - P2111
Description - Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Open

3. Codes - P2716
Description - Pressure Control Solenoid D Electrical

I was told it's the Brainbox. I went to change the brainbox but the issue persisted.

I went to one mechanic that was introduced to me and he said I'll need to replace the engine of the car...

A strong man is getting tired

Please someone should help.

Please how strong is a GAC GS3 SUV. Like how durable or fragile is the car.

And what maintenance tips does one need to make the car last longer on Nigerian Roads.

Thanks

You do not need remote assistance.
The car has been abused a lot.
