Hello Sir
My toyota corolla 2010 automatic started popping out of transmission during motion. Work was done on it before and it stopped but it has started again. The technicians refused to tell me exactly what he did.

But I noticed the acceleration was not smooth like before after it changes from gear 1 to 2. The gear 2 viberates during motion as if you are using a lower gear.

Presently I can only use it when driving slowly on the street but can't speed up with it.
Any attempt to speed up will disengage the gear though it is on Drive. It will be firing without moving.
Good for street but bad for expressway.

What could be the problem?

Thanks Gazzuzz for your response. Please do you have an idea of the current price of a 2007 Toyota Camry SE 2.4L engine, 13-pin automatic transmission?

₦250,000 with I beg and their mechanic must install for you if you want 1min warranty.

Transmission is grinding to a halt. Last time they washed the strainer filter and it worked for a while. Replace the gear as the filter cannot cope with the amount of contamination it is getting .

The technician told me that he changed the gear brain box during that time. And I spent much for nothing.
Any idea of the cost of replacement?

E replace valve body or trans filter. Transmission is going bad, replace it.

Cost of replacement transmission depends on location of your vehicle.

Hi Gazzuzz. My camry 2009 keeps making a whistling noise when I use the brakes. Mechanic keeps saying there's no issue but I am sceptical.
Also when I enter bumps, dashboard shows hood open. Later it disappears. Please advise.

Dear Gazzuzz, trust you're good.
Please for car models suitable for Uber/Bolt, which brands and model will you recommend, aside Corolla. 3 most important considerations: cost, fuel economy, and ruggedness of the car.
Corolla seem so expensive, if I wait to get one, I might never start the business.
Thank you

Actually, your mech is right. Some 4 chop u for dat small issue.
Check if your brake rotors/disks are ok. If they are, replace the brake pads with quality ones .... you won't hear pim when you match brake.

As for the bonnet .... e be like the switch don dey go. Get them to check the hood switch.

Hello Gazzuzz!

I got my 2005 Rx 330 last year...I have had several issues that has been tackled but the before I give a timeline, here's the current issue, a check engine light and VSC, last I scanned it showed a code I can't remember but the right was something like Knock Sensor Circuit High Input on bank 1 and another code that says Knock Sensor Circuit High Input on bank 2.

My electrician had previously changed the knock sensor the previous day (i didn't bother checking the code then) so when the check engine light returned, I went back and these were the error. He took off the sensors and said one of the new ones he fixed is bad so he brought another one, read it and fixed both again but the check engine light returned after a few miles. What could be the issue?

Now here's a timeline of my fix:

When I got the car, after sometime, I realised the car was struggling to accelerate or delays in changing gears due to this. Also, the car heats up alot and I was told it was cos the catalyst was blocked...ran a scan and it was catalyst issue, I took off both catalyst giving issues (the one under and the middle one) then I added spacers to all the oxygen sensors.

My car felt good again and check engine left, but after sometime, it returned back, and before I could get to my mechanic, my car stopped on the road and I realised it overheated..how come? I was shocked..started it again and managed to drive to a safe place, it turned off again and I waited for it to cool, a mechanic came and assisted in putting water the right way after over 30mins. The fan was good, I top up water like 2-3 days ago so I was shocked.

When I got to my electrician, it says no coolant, we topped up coolant and error was cleared....after some time, the light returned again and i realised car was beginning to delay a bit before accelerating. In between all these, I also noticed my AC would stop cooling and after turning it off for sometime, it begins to cool again. (This has also happened before removing catalyst).

I went to scan again and this time was when the knock sensor errors came up. So we've changed knock sensors and the check engine is back again.

Another thing I noticed again was before I removed catalyst, I had noticed my engine oil dropped low beyond both guages on the dip stick (this lasted for about 3000miles) so I felt that was fare and serviced the car with Mobil 1 in around 2nd-3rd week of Jan..(previously oil used was normal oil by ignorant Mechanics). Now less than a month later, I checked my dip stick today and the oil is just by the second gauge as if half of my oil had dried up.

I am wondering if all these are connected and what could be the problem?

NB: I checked under the car and around the engine and filter, there's no leakage. I also turned my car on, left it steaming for around 30mins and fired it, little too no smoke came off the exhaust that looked colourless (not sure about that but its as if no smoke came out the exhaust.

Please read carefully and help me understand whats wrong and what could be the fix. Thanks!

I have an issue with my honda civic 2007 lx model. The car drives well, then after a while, the car stops accelerating. Doesnt go past 30mph speed. The check engine light comes on and the error code is P0606. If I disconnect the positive battery terminal for 20 seconds, the error code disappears and the car would drive fine until it happens again.

What can I do and how do i fix the problem?

The car is telling you there is a problem, but is not specific to what the issue is.

I device causing a power surge is the most likely culprit , or an outrightly defective engine ecu.

If I was to diagnose this vehicle I would disconnect or non essential components that derive a lot of power from the engine ecu.

Starting with the 02sensors.

Have them disconnected and drive to see if the problem pops up again . If it does not, check the connectors / connections and the devices

Your O2 sensor is the cause of that code.

Happy Sunday all.

These codes keep reappearing on my Honda Civic 07

P0137- o2 sensor circuit low voltage Bank 1 Sensor 2
P2422- Evaporative Emission System Vent Valve stuck closed
P1129- Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor value more than expected

What do I need to fix to get them permanently cleared?

Please, I still need help with this.

Also, I drove the car out of lagos for the first time on Sunday and noticed my steering shakes at 100km/h and the car stalls when shifting gear, like its shifting with force.
