migration be a scam

Gilbertase:

OK!
So, i'll just assume there is all just a big mistake and you didnt just label me a scam for no apparent reason. Diagnosis is as easy as ABC, so i needn't explain that, the role of diagnosis in predictive maintenance is equally as straightforward. Pabambari e, the products i sell are available for hand delivery in lagos and Ibadan, and everywhere else through konga. I think we should refrain from throwing caution to the wind, and be more careful. I would personally be absolutely sure and have facts before i libel another.

Gaz.zuzz is it not better to first know if the ECM is giving a rich command that makes additional raw fuel get into the CAT, just changing the CAT might not be the best fix.

I’m having same issue for P0420 and P0430 and I’ve changed CAT and DTC’s persist. I can tell from my LTFT that it is taking fuel from the negative readings or am I wrong. I have seen a video on YouTube and the fix was the previous mechanic that installed the downstream oxygen sensors misplaced their positions. In my case I personally had all my sensors identified by tape with positions they were suppose to be boldly written on them, but my mechanic with his “you can’t teach me my job” mentality just mixed everything together and said all the plugs are not the same and no way you can make a mistake on this installation.

After seeing the YouTube video, I realised my mechanic was half right because the upstream oxygen sensors connectors are not the same but the downstream sensors are, so I am working on checking if the sensors are sitting in their right positions.

STFT Bank 2 at idle hovering between 2.34 to 7.81
STFT Bank 1 at idle hovering between 2.34 to 7.81 (I thought they should be close to zero as much as possible)

What are you trying to solve?

You bought a used CAT if I remember correctly, which is not the best thing to do, everything considered. Are you chasing after P0420 and P0430? Or something else?

olaboy1:


My LTFT are always in the negatives around minus 8% which leads me to believe I have an underlying issue destroying my CAT.
Will a bad CAT cause my LTFT’s to be like that. I just don’t want to change to a new CAT that would be destroyed again. Two things I’m yet to troubleshoot are vacuum leaks and injectors.
Any idea how to go about this?
See upstream and downstream sensors behavior, maybe you can use those and the LTFT’s to point me in the right direction. I thought the upstream sensors should be switching rapidly, but they both seem to stay longer on the high voltage.
Also I’m confused because my freeze frame data on fuel trims when I get CAT DTC’s are always within spec at the time the DTC set, but when I park and check my fuel trims, the LTFT’s are always wack.

I took the car to the biggest Toyota dealership here before and they couldn’t identify the problem after all computer and scan tests.
I went to two other well equipped workshops and same thing.....(sir there is nothing wrong with your car).

But from my driving experience and the performance of my other car, It’s so easy to spot that the car is performing like a bone stuck in the throat of a gluttonous child.

My only confusion right now is that Evap monitor shows complete while CAT monitor shows incomplete. Although I’m yet to fulfil the drive cycle for CAT monitor test and the pending CAT DTC’s were already there before all I’ve just done on the car.

So the only way to tell if this is a fix is to complete CAT cycle monitor test, and drive for another 2-3 weeks to see if the pending CAT DTC’s would come up, as they usually do around 2-3weeks. Below is a screenshot of all the MONITORS done by the scantool.

I am open to further expert advice on why my Evap VSV is showing “OFF”.

interesting, and I tot I read someone saying diagnosis IS as easy as ABC..... maybe not this thread

hello
pls i have the following code on my car
Toyota camry 2001
I4 engine
P0128
P0420
P0440
P0441
P0446

please what is the way out

GAZZUZZ:


p0128. No thermostat installed in theremostat housing, and fans connected to work with ignition.

P0420, bad or absent catalyst bank1.

P0440-446 evaporative emmision issues.

Return theremostat return connections back to normal and replace radiator.

Replace catalyst (if you can find a good one) evacuate catalyst and ignore catalyst code if you cannot find a replacement.

For evaporative emmission codes, start by ensurin fuel pump assembly seals are seating properl, ensure no vacuum leaks from fuel tank. If you can ensure this and problem still exists, contact your car doctor for further treatment.

depair:


the thermostat is there, the fans are not direct they come on when the enhine is warm

will check the fuel lines but i hope i can trace it very well

any effect on the vehicle in the absence of the catalyst

GAZZUZZ:


are you sure? Do not confuse thermostat and thermistor. operation of fans is determined by thermistor in this case.

If thermostat is present, it could be a case of it being stuck open.

depair:


how can i know a good thermostat in the market.

HenryWilliams:
Evening..
Please how can I return my radiator fans back to factory specs.
Recently bought a car with fans wired directly.. And I'm not too comfortable with such. .thanks

ayogabriel:
Good day people i use honda accord 06 model. The stereo use to work fine, until it suddenly makes a pop sound and goes of.

Presently it only comes on but no sound. The kazeem i invited to check it, said i have to change the stereo.

Having check online, i found out its a general problem with honda accord. Please can angbody help me out if there is another way,before i spend money that i could save for something else? Thanks all

AutoElectNG:


I can help with that

HenryWilliams:


In which way pls.
I'm not really a "fan" of such practices.

AutoElectNG:


By reverting the connections to factory in a less than a day.

HenryWilliams:


I'll love to see you do that.. How can I get hold of you?

in the market not possible. Take it home, throw it into a pot of water, watch it open when water starts to boil, and close when temp drops below 82deg Celsius.
