Boss, i crank my car twice every morning b4 it start.

In the afternoon if i park for too long, i will have to crank twice b4 it start.

They say its cold start, i dont know what that means. I have clean the throttle body, filter etc., still the same.

I scan it, cleared the check engine light and re-scan after two day, its only PO0174,the only code have had on the car for over a year.

You advice i ignore the code after you help change the gear oil then. Car drive fine, except i have to crank twice every morning.

If i park for few mins and i try to start, it will start once, so far the car is still warm/hot. But if it is cold, na twice.

Its 06 corolla. Pls advice

hello sir, I have honda accord EOD.
kindly see attached image.
lately I noticed the power steering fluid was getting low. always on the low mark. so I have been topping up the fluid till I have time to locate a competent mechanic in this town. If I top up before leaving for work by next morning I will find the fluid level on the low mark... just by the following morning.... so today I topped up the fluid and started the engine just to observe wetin dey shęlę gan gan with the fluid, so while engine was running I opened the fluid reservoir cover and I saw that the fluid was foaming pink foam. the foam started goshing out cos my broda started steering left & right. the goshing out stopped the moment he stopped steering but the foaming persisted ... pls what & where can we check, our mechanics around may first ask us to change fuel pump ontop this issue. pls airpus

GAZZUZZ:


Air is being introduced to a closed system. You have a leak, could be from anywhere within the system.

Pipes and pressure lines
Powersteering pump
Power steering rack
Joint/s on power steering pump

Good morning oga Gazzuzz. I changed spark plugs of my Honda civic 07 yesterday. I was going home and the car suddenly stopped accelerating. I had to restart the engine to move the car. The accelerating keeps going off intermittently all through my journey home yesterday. I scanned and got a P0606 code (ECM/PCM fault). Any advise on the solution would be appreciated.

MrWalban:
Good day Boss,

I got a camry 2012 se from the US unfortunately the catalyst from the manifold to the silencer was removed and cut off at the port. I have replaced with “supposedly follow come” catalyst for the manifold and silencer. But I’m still having these codes

P2238
P2195

Kindly advise on what to do cos I don’t want the check engine light on at all.

Hello Gazzuzz,

I need your advice on my Toyota Corolla Bank type,
1. each time i use the AC, the temp rises rapidly so i am always having to put if off immediately
2. asides the temp rise, when i put on the ac, the engine sounds like its been overstressed
3. my brake catches, but if i hold it down it slips off so i have to be tapping the brake often (ABS LIGHT IS ON)
4. pls recommend a good auto shop in lagos for me


Thanks

You have some wires bridging . Go back to the ignition coils and check the sockets, there might be insulation issues .

Good evening boss. Thanks for your earlier response.

We inspected the wiring and no issues were noticed so we replaced the old plugs and went for a test drive, car drove fine all through. We later adjusted the gap on the new plugs and it moved well all the way home.

However there is another error code P2649 "‘A’ Rocker Arm Actuator Control Circuit High Bank 1". My mechanic seems confused and doesn’t know what to do. Any suggestions on what the solutions could be.

lexini:
Good afternoon Gazzuzz

Please, my ac is blowing hot through the driver's side and cold on the passenger's side.

I read online that it's the blender door actuator arm that's responsible for this; also read that a DIY fix is possible.

Please advise.

Car is 2008 Toyota Highlander.

Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


Is it blowing actual hot air, or room temp?

lexini:
More like room temperature from the driver's side; while the passenger vents cools.

It however picks after like 30 minutes or so.

when the car landed last month as tokunbo, ac wasn't cooling at all so i filled the gas.

it worked well for like 2 weeks before this began

thanks

Just ask, and I'll give you my candid unbiased advice here on autos.

MrWalban:
Sir, my rewire checked the sensor and says it brings on the correct voltage. But he is advising if at all I don't want the check engine light on from his experience I'll have to change the brain box. That its a diode no functioning well causing the check engine light to come up. The brainbox (used) is value 28k for the short the one for Camry 2012 SE v4 engine. The car is toks and not even registered yet. Is it reasonable to change the brainbox, can there be an excessive damage if changed? Kindly advise.
