Good evening house. Please the Slip indicator and check engine light came on and stayed on the dashboard after the car was driven for like three hours. This has not happened before when the car travels shorter distances. The car is a Toyota Corolla 2011.What do I do please? Thank you.

AutoMoTech:


If the tokunbo is original and still in a very good condition. You can go for it.
My problem with brand new is most times their quality is very questionable...

Hi,
I'm new here, happened upon this forum searching for solutions online.

I need your help badly. I've got an 03 Pathfinder, runs great and does the heavy lifting for my work, to be honest it's almost the perfect ride/work horse I need.

I've been having the P0021 error code on my pathfinder for a while now, starting the car from cold, it runs fine and revs well for the first 20-30 minutes and seems to go into fail safe mode once the engine heats up. I've checked my oil levels, recently replaced all Cam and Crankshaft sensors, I've also removed and checked both IVTC solenoids for any debris or blockage, did the battery test and the screens are moving quite well I think but still no luck. Live data on both solenoids read about the same ⁰CA and percent.

Its driving me crazy and gets very frustrating when this happens, perhaps it's a false positive or I'm looking in the wrong places, I'd appreciate if anyone can share his/her experience with or opinion.

Gracias mucho

Thank you AutoMoTech. Thank you radautoworks. It was taken for a scan and a code said ADF-PO301. Cylinder 1 Misfire detected.
The Rewire said I'll change six plugs.The guy that did the scanning cleared the error though and the light is no longer on the dashboard.

I'm entirely new at this and don't know what to do.
The ABS light did not come on.

radautoworks:
how far have you driven since? It takes about 30 miles before the light comes back if the problem is still there? If it's more than that, what AutoMoTech said. Also, why 6 spark plugs? Can you post a picture of your spark plugs and do NOT put in Tokunbo ones.

Some of the car symptoms can be frustrating.....no thanks to 9ja bad roads cos most of this symptoms never came with the Toks cars......my formal car frustrated me to the estent when my friends won see me, dem need not go far or call, all dey need do na find me go my mechanic ......thank God I don buy new one and don't have plan to go mechanic for 4yrs

AutoMoTech:


kindly give more details on the fail safe mode. what happens? what works? what doesn't work?
there is a possibility this is an electrical problem. check all your fuses, wiring and relays too. then we can move from there

Hello, thanks for the input.

Everything works except the acceleration. No hard start, no rough idling, it just doesn't rev above 2000 rpm and as a result, it doesn't move swiftly enough, also seems to get stuck on second gear.

Any ideas please?

AutoMoTech:

Check your exhaust system. It might be clogged.

Smithsonian12:


Would do.
But do you think this can cause it to throw a P0021?
I occasionally get Evap Gross Leak (P0455), this doesn't come all the time

AutoMoTech:

First check your exhaust. Lets be sure your engine can breathe properly.
You said in your earlier post it runs great the. After abt 20mins it begins to run poorly. A cloghed exhaust could also show such symptoms.
So check it so we can know if your engine is breathing properly.

Smithsonian12:

Alright
Yes, it runs well for about 20 minutes then begins to show the signs explained earlier.
I'd get a mechanic to check this out tomorrow, thanks a mill.

My Toyota Highlander , 2002 model was parked for a while, like a month. When I started it , the power steering oil was leaking. Took it to mechanic who replaced some tubes. Since then the steering has become very strong. It is okay sometimes but soon it seizes and becomes very difficult to drive. Pls, help. The Power steering is no longer leaking.

Good evening AutoMechMo
I scanned my vehicle and it brought up a P1659 ECTS malfunction off and several attempts made to clear the code by the electrician proved abortive as the code keeps coming up. currently no major symptoms aside the fact acceleration is not superb as expected. how do I go about this error code. it's a Honda civic

AutoMoTech:

ok good

Hi there,
Finally got the exhaust cleared (was blocked), drove a few minutes and performance dropped again.
Did a scan and got the following errors this time around
P0102 - MAF SEN/CIRCUIT
P0113 - IAT SEN/CIRCUIT
P0021 - INT/V TIM CONT-B2

Attached screenshot
Please help ��

ControlModule:

My main moniker was blocked again...

P0021. There is a problem on the control side of the wiring to the intake valve timing solenoid.
Do a continuity test btw the solenoid socket and the pin out on the ECU.

P0102 - MAF SEN/CIRCUIT : there is a circuit/wiring problem on your MAF. Check the sensor & the wiring from the MAF to the ECU

P0113 - IAT SEN/CIRCUIT : I suspect the same problem affecting the MAF is also affecting the IAT. So check the sensor and wiring too..

Get them resolved.
