There are ways to bench test oxygen sensors before installation. If you've been testing with bad or incompatible sensors, you don't expect the code to go.

How did your friend find for leaks? - Spraying Carb cleaner on the hoses and he used a smoker too, we also did physical inspection. we [b]DIY ourself.[/b]

How did you check the sensors before replacing them? - You know how difficult it is to get an O2 sensor that fits,so we were just trying all the sensors he had, since he is the only person that has the sensor in that APO mechanic. i am beginning to think that is the issue sef.
About benchtesting it, I saw some resources online on how to test it with a multi-meter.

Are you in Abuja??

Good morning.
Abeg can a Kia Rio 09 manual tranny go from Lagos to Abuja safely without getting issues or overheating
It uses water in its radiator.
The highest trip I've gone Is Lagos to Osun State

kingreign:


As long as there's no issues with the car, it can travel from Lagos to Maiduguri

jceesquare:
No I'm not

remi4ever:



Update, issue has been resolved. Thanks to @kingreign for linking me up with his sensor seller, the first sensor didn't work threw a p1157 code And then I went back to try another and that worked.. Thanks @jceesquare for your time.

These Electrical guys almost made me buy a new ECU.

God bless you all.

I'm not sure I will ever understand why they're always quick to condemn ECU's.
Good to know you have your car fixed.

My Corolla 09

Car driving gud though Abs and brake light on, have been driving like that for months with no issue until I decided to change hub bearing and shaft which were all making noise, after changes I test run the car and all went fine until the next day,

I drove from Gbagada to Ikorodu all went smooth and on coming back to Gbagada I observe car transmission shifting at gear 3 and 4, I managed to drive it to base at Gbagada.

Called my mechanic, we scanned the car and it brings out ... Code P0751, shift Solenoid A performance/stuck off, called in a gear master and he said I have to service the valve body and possibly check all the solenoids.

After gear master servicing, installing bigger switch and change of oil to original ATF WS ... We tested the car and still doing same thing. Scanned the car again but all transmission code gone only left with ABS code C0215 and C0221.

Please I need solution to this problem of my Car

Good evening great minds,
Pls I drive a 2005 lexus es330, I recently changed the water pump and since then I observed that
1.There is a water flowing sound (like water running through holes from the dashboard) that the car makes whenever I start the car, very strange sounds o.
2. Each time I brake at a bump or speed breaker, it sluggishly picks up and jacks as well before driving smoothly.
Kindly advise me on what to do pls.

Hi guys. Please I need some assistance. My 08 Accord kind of want to swerve off road if I brake @120km or above, if I try to slow down with brake it forcefully turn my steering making the car moving like it wants to leave the road. So if I’m @120 speed or above I will have to release the throttle then when the speeds drops to 100 I will then apply brake very slowly

I experienced this the very first time I traveled interstate with the car. And that was the only time I have traveled interstate with the car since I bought it

The only notable things I did to the car when I bought it are
1, change driver side shaft
2, change both ball joint
3, change tire from 225/50 R17 to 225/55 R17 for front and 235/55 R17 for back
4, raised the car with one black rubber

The mechanic said he will use one black rubber that will be added to the shock absorbers to raise it a little , after raising with that rubber a friend warned me that I won’t be able to travel with it because that rubber always have a bad effect when you are on high speed but he said I won’t notice anything if I’m driving around town. Now I don’t know if it’s the rubber or something else

The way it swerve is really scary especially when I am beside a trailer and I want to quickly slow down to let it go

GreekDon:


Let the experts weigh in on this.
But my suspicion will be on Nos 3 & 4 highlighted above. You have significantly altered the driving dynamics of the car. It's good to maintain same tire size all round.
And you should NEVER raise the car. Get an SUV if your terrain is so bad.

Hello guys, any idea on genuity of Masuma parts being sold in Nigeria?

I have changed my brake discs to tokunbo and then to a brand new one but I'm still getting steering judder when braking on highway speeds (100-140KMh).

I'm thinking on buying an 'oem' or at least legitimate quality as I've changed almost everything (discs, pads, calipers, tierod ends, ball joints, control arm and stabilizer bar bushings, wheel bearings, shaft, tokunbo tires, shock absorbers, even rotated tires) on my front end except the hub itself but I keep, getting the ridiculous vibrations when I dare brake.

Or is there anything I should be looking at? What's the possibility of a tokunbo and brand new brake discs being out of round?
