Good Day guys, I wanted to change my oil so I asked the mechanic to open the bottom plate and clean it, so I found this pieces of metal or brass about 3 in the oil pump screen, pls where do you think it may come from and how dangerous do u think it could be? How can I prevent it from happening?

Car engine is Toyota 2AZ

Abuse has started, the pickup screen has been perforated possibly due to low oil pressure.

You might not have a lot of life left in that engine

I have the 2009 V6 3.3l Hyundai sonata and it has been making a rattling sound for about 3 seconds at first start up only, some say it's the timing chain/tensioner, last week it would drive smooth and cut out and sometimes refuse to restart until a few minutes have passed, took it to get checked and it had code for crankshaft position sensor, had that replaced with a new one (not a Hyundai made as the Hyundai office in Lagos said they didn't have it, a friend bought it for me at ladipo) replaced but the problem still persisted.
Took it back again and it had code for camshaft position sensor, had those replaced ( also new) and the random engine cutouts stopped but the car started shaking if on Drive and not moving, and it also didn't respond quickly when the accelerator pedal was depressed, it'd increase rpm but not increase speed accordingly/respond fast enough, the running was rough and this was new.
Took it back again and it was showing P0335, the mech said it has probably jumped timing( at this point the mechanic was already getting frustrated), drove it back home and parked it, and it won't restart, cranks but will not start, do you think it's the timing chain? If it is, can you recommend a good brand and where to buy? I need to fix the car and I don't know what mechanic or electrician to trust anymore, these sensors and other things I bought which appeared to be guesses from technicians I visited already cost me over 120k, I've been to three mechanics/rewire, the first mechanic Even had me buy a new fuel pump.
I need your advice on what to do and maybe a recommendation about a good mechanic/rewire based in Akure, Ondo state.

Have experience that , when ever the security is affected and it didn't start it's usually thr brainbox , see what u do meet with the seller and tell him if the car didnt start , u wont pay him , if it starts u pay him ,

That's what I did they changed the ECU it starts , some times brainbox may not be the issue but that's how my Rx300 happened, although the electrician checked 90% of all possible reasons before concluding it's the brainbox . Any way after that I sold the car

This thread is dedicated to solving car related problems, it will cover all issues feel free to post problems here, Car gurus your posts are welcome and highly appreciated.


What is the reason of delay shift in gear , especially when u want to shift from 40mph to 60mph,(within a short period of time ) immediately its about reach 60mph the car jerks sometimes it will continue to jerk .

Most at times I will remove my leg from throttle and accelerate slowly , with that method I can go up 80-100mph
....

But I know it's not proper I don't have to apply throttle gently always especially when I reach a stop or try to over take another car , I may not succeed because if I accelerate (heavy apply on throttle) it will jerk while shifting from one gear to another . And it's usually dangerous while trying to over take on high way .

went on a long trip and I notice my car (Honda City 2007) would disengage itself from the gear. It would stop selecting gears but it would move.

But as soon as I park and allow it to cool for a while it moves and selects gears normally. After a like maybe 5 mins drive its disengages from the gear again but once i wait and it cools it moves normally.

Whike it was moving once it disengaged itself, I entered a pot hole it connected back and moved a bit before it disengaged again.

There is oil in the gear...

What could be wrong?

Your engine output is low, fuel system usually the culprit

You shouldn't be talking about fuel economy and 3 seater suvs.

If youre talking about fuel economy and luxury suvs it means you shouldn't actually be interested in these class of vehicles.

Hello house. Please i need help. OP and anybody that can help. I carried my car give mechanic for ringing because one port is killing spark plugs so after he has adjusted the cramshaft to O2 and assembled the engine back but the engine refused to start. He called rewire and everything, the coil plug began to show ignition but now, immediately the car starts, it will turn off by itself. What could be the problem?? Pls help me maybe i can tell the mechanic to check it out. And also he is waiting for a person to come and run a car scanner on it.

Ps: before ringing, the car was working, i even drive it to his workshop.
