Hi I own an Honda accord 2008 Car started revving high on it’s own and jerk when I engage the gear, Got the injector washed and it stopped for about 3 days only to do the same thing again. The a mechanic said it’s injector mouth and I have replaced it, called a Rewire to scan check cuz its not starting anymore, now a Rewire said the ecu is not communicating with the scanner, he can’t read any error. Any advice please

I found out that the 4 sensors are missing. Will have to buy then. Thanks
Abbeyismo:

One or two or three or four of the TPMS sensore is bad or missing you have to scan it with a TPMS scanner or a more bigger scanner that read tpms to know wish one is bad sir. You can reach more diagnosis.

If the rewire could not get the DLC to work, then you need to look for another rewire ASAP

Please I need help with my car.
Car model: Rav4 2003.
I started hearing this kind of tapping noise from the top engine.
Mechanic said it's the Camshaft.
Camshaft changed but the noise continues.
The noise comes out when the engine gets hot. No noise when the engine is cold.
After driving for about 30 - 45mins, the engine oil light starts blinking.
Mechanic suggests we change the oil and oil filter.
But I don't know whether that will solve the problems.
Abeg, advice please?

Get another competent mechanic, let him drop that engine, disassemble it and find it's culprit.

I'm afraid the oil pump, metals and bearings and camshafts are on their way out and you'd have to rebuild that engine or replace it.

Get the car to start communicating before anything.

I'm very sure your car electrical circuit has been messed up and bastardized.

Good day, I recently bought a Honda Accord 2005 and after 3 weeks it started making noise from the engine. I was planning to take it to mechanic the following day but while driving this Sunday, it stopped on a highway. I tried to start it but the battery couldn't. So I borrowed a battery to start it. After starting it, the noise this time became worse and I managed it to a mechanic workshop. On reaching there, he said the sound is from the engine and he had to wait for it to get cold before opening it. The following day he opened it, long story short he discovered the connecting rod is broken, and the crankshaft affected too. He is advising me to get a new engine which will cost 450k and I'm flat broke right now. What can I do?

PS: It's my first car and I'm new to car stuff.

Park that car at home, buy another engine or rebuild that engine when you raise funds.

Good day. My corolla 2011 TPMS light came up after I changed all the tires, it blinks after start up for like 30 seconds and stays on. I've checked the tire pressure and all are same, I've done alignment and wheel balancing. Same issues. What do I do? I scanned and had a code p0037= heated O2 sensor heater circuit low voltage bank 1 sensor 2. Kindly advise. Thanks

Your vulcanizer has broken the sensors.
Get a Tokunbo sensor and reprogramme them to the car. This time let another competent tyre shop handle it
As for the p0037, replace the downstream O2 sensor, it's under the car.

Thank you, i Will surely do that, Does the missing o2 downstream sensor affect fuel consumption or just emissions

Oil and oil filter changed.
Tested it today on the high way. It was a long drive to and flo.
The oil light didn't come up again.
Noise is still there though not as loud as before.
Could it be that the Camshaft the mechanic bought was not a good one?

It's NOT the best decision. You were misled. They do NOT know better than the scientists and engineers who made your specific model an AWD.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Nomerci: 12:06pm On Aug 12
The most important part of a car is the engine. If engine is in top shape,u will drive the car taya. Top shape. Engine oil consumption ..low....
Gear oil consumption low.
Most mechanics are quacks. B4 u fall into dia trap. Always guage your oil b4 u start engine and drive out of your place. If the oil is between 1st and 2nd pin. Its okay. If its at one pin. Take a bike and buy 1 liter and pour into crankcase....
The main culprits are sticky rings. Most mechanic will say buy toks engine..the the toks engine you are buying.....u have no history,if the engine had over heated or the engine shorts oil.u will believe the engine is OK cos nigeria ia a dumping ground.even flooded engines are shipped to nigeria as toks..after they acid water wash it.it will be shinning.they will now go and buy aluminium spray paint and paint it,all the stickers,logo,everything will be shinning. Not knowing the engine na lemon.. but if its serious damage like rods,valves,camshaft, forget.u need a new engine and pray the new tokunbo engine go sound after 50days

Good day bosses. My corolla 2010, after a long distance drive, I noticed the temp gauge goes up.. it goes back to normal then goes up while accelerating. it happens most time while on traffic too.. when i got to my destination, allow the car to calm down.. I open the radiator gap to top with coolant but the level is still intact showing no sign of dryness.. what could be the problem?

There's nothing I can advise you to do since you've executed the repairs and you're satisfied with it
It's medicine after death to advise further.

Check your thermostat, fan, radiator may be dirty too. Your ECT sensor may be defective too.

Hello.
Early this morning I discovered a mixture of oil and water in my radiator. Also, same mixture on the gear dipstick. Camry 2007

Please, what's the cause of these, and possible solutions?

Thanks.

DO NOT DRIVE THAT CAR. DON'T EVEN START IT!

REPLACE THAT RADIATOR ASAP!

And REPLACE BOTH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OILS IMMEDIATELY.


While your engine can condone some water in oil before grenading, your transmission will grenade much faster if the damage hasn't been done already. For that transmission oil, do a drain and fill 2-3 times to get any lodged water of it.

Good morning great people. I am based in Lagos. Please I have a Mazda 3 hatchback 2007 module. When driving and revving it the tachometer shows high (at times getting to the red zone) but it doesn't accelerate and jerks too. Please does Mazda have a service centre in Lagos? I would be grateful if you shared the address with me. If not, is there a Mazda technician who can check the body control module of the car and solve the problem?

Your swift response will be greatly appreciated.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Nomerci: 2:38pm On Aug 20
Getting to red on the temperature guage,do u use AC.cos AC is the nos 1 cause,secondly are the hoses leaking hose going to injector mouth and radiator...check...then the rpm revving high,ah your engine is aluminium oh.u will break rod and all at such practice..check the slow,or idle mechanic has tampered with the idle control . Check youtube first,if not. Mechanic go chop u at least 70k....for a fault of 1k or a DIY fix sef..

How can it be brainbox when the brainbox did not smoke or burn and u saw smoke.mechanic wan hammer like this and would scatter your car. Car not speeding,might be low engine oil,low gear oil,bad and expired spark plugs,bad ignition coils,bad knock speed sensor,how can it be brainbox. Our mechanics need to be shot...next thing,the car will catch fire after rewire does his nonsense.check all what i listed first.
