Hi fam howdy? I drive a venza V6 011, recently i noticed that it's having a hard time to start but recently it doesn't start at all and if it does it doesn't run for more than 3 seconds and it goes off. I had diagnosed and was told the fault has to do with the timing change. I also noticed black smoke coming from the exhaust pipe, it was diagnosed to have a bad airflow meter which was changed but the smoke didn't stop and it also consumes alot of fuel 🤦 |

henryspendy: Alot of factors can cause hard or no start. Ensure the glowing conditions are met 1. Correct timing, 2. Air enters the engine, air filter and MAF is okay, 3. Fuel gets to the engine from the fuel pump and injectors, 4. Sparkplug produces sparks. If any of these is missing, your engine won't start. Check your ECU and immobilizer too, they can inhibit spark or fuel delivery for whatever reason if there's a fault or if they notice the key used to start is not the right key. For the 3 sec start and die, black smoke and co, I feel it's an ECM issue. You need a very competent technician to patiently and carefully diagnose this issue. 1 Like |

Babatundehy: Hello Babatundehy I got a car, before putting it to real long time driving, I noticed that, the engine oil light comes on as well as the check engine light, and the car wouldn't start. Then after a while, it started, Now the day I drove this car from Ikeja GRA to Chevron Drive, on climbing the ikoyi exit inwards ikoyi just by the bend, the engine oil light comes on and the car stops, I put it off and start it again, immediately it started, thought it was fuel, so I headed to the nearest fuel station at Falomo, bought fuel and headed to Chevron. Drove the car until Night, before the same issue reoccurred. And while driving, I noticed the car was smoking , this is a car that was just serviced. Now the following day, once I drive for few distances or for about 1 hour, the same engine oil light comes on and car stops atimes while in motion, but after cooling for about 30 to 40 minutes,it starts again. Then I noticed there wasn't engine oil in the car, bought 1 liter to top up, yet the problem still persist for a recently serviced car. Please could you proffer a solution, could it be the fuse box as you stated above? Thanks in anticipation for your response. |

Hello Babatundehy, I own a Subaru Forester 1999 AWD and this car has been a reliable partner in different terrain and providing me with essential mobility. Recently, I experience a little delay in acceleration which my mechanic checked and reported that one of the spark plugs is being soaked in engine oil and exhibiting engine wear. I have had to change the spark plugs, installed an adaptor on the weak spark plug and change the engine electrical coil. This helps the car operate normally but it is still far from its pristine condition. The alternative advised by my mechanic is a replacement of the car engine and this procedure is 50/50 as other faults might develop from the installed engine. I should add that I regularly service the car and replace the oil and filters every 2months. I kindly request for your technical assistance on a complete rectification on this as the car has a great sentimental value for me. Thank you. 1 Like |

Hi guys , I love what you guys are doing and I send greetings to everyone of you . I’m here because I recently got a 2007 Camry for 2.2 cos of bad engine . I fixed it and I started nothing another issue , which included AC was passed through relay . I fixed that too . But my current issue now is that when I’m driving and I get to 30 the car jerks forward but it’s a smooth drive afterwards. What couldn’t be issue with that ? My mechanic said its probably because of the car had been sitting for too long before we purchased it . I would like a second opinion and also everything else works just the jerking . Thanks in advance |

My people, I still need help on my 06 Sienna issues(P0012 and P2716). I need a good mechanic around Isolo/Okota axis. I need this camshaft and gear solenoid issue sorted out. The car moves sluggishly especially when AC is on. Difficult to climb small slope. Please come to my aid my Ogas |

jceesquare:Good day sir. I dropped my car at the panel beater's place for panel beating work and when i went to carry it,i found out that the brakes have suddenly become hard even when the engine is on,very hard and the brakes are no longer effective like before. And the engine doesn't steam well as it used to. I checked all the hoses and they are all connected to their various positions. When i press the brakes when engine is on i normally hear hissing sound from the leg room coming from the driver's side. Please any suggestions for me? It's a 2007 Nissan versa. |
