Okay Sir.
But how can this be resolved?

I think it would be best to identify the Original fault and CHANGE any component that needs a replacement instead of a bypass.

What could be the cause of the failure for the car to start from inside but worked when he attached a wire to the starter and battery terminal?

kingreign:

Herein lies your answer



I don’t know what caused the fault, as I have no access to the car to diagnose it.

WycliffeSMB:


Okay.
Would a vehicle scan detect the issues?

I bought this Es350 July this year and after few weeks the ac automatically stop cooling by it self and it gets back up by itself after some time or I’ll turn the ac off and on it back for it to work, after some time I noticed some ac vents weren’t cooling and after some time everything crashed , I went to my ac guy and he advised me to Change the compressor and condenser and I said okay maybe some other time, I asked him if there’s anything he can do to make it work and he filled the ac with gas then put oil too and it was working perfectly again, I started driving home and like 10minutes into my journey driving home the ac stopped working again, please have anyone experienced this and have an advise for me , I honestly don’t know what to do. Thank you

Happy motoring!!

Hello Kingreign

I got these two errors after scanning my car (Toyota corolla 2009)

P0037
P2238

What do I need to change?

Also, wherever I'm driving, I sometimes smell exhaust fume while the AC is on.

What could be the cause?

kingreign:


For the codes above, replace the A/F sensor you should be fine.

As for the smell of the chaise fumes, check if the boot closes properly and the weather strip rubber seals properly.

alaricsaltzman:

Okay. Thanks

The A/F sensor is the same as oxygen sensor right?

kingreign:


They are different. They may look alike but if you pay close attention you should spot some differences.

kingreign:

A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine.

O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times.

alaricsaltzman:

Can I replace the O2 sensor with A/F sensor? Like it doesn't matter

Please i hve an Honda civic 2001
the automatic transmission has issues since I bought the vehicle. it has being getting bad often and I repair. Now I am tired of these repairing often coz I don't have 180k to buy a direct Belgium gearbox. Now I am considering changing to manual gear because I was told to buy the manual transmission is cheaper about 50k and I can drive manual cars.

But my question is; what could be the implications of changing my automatic transmission to manual transmission?

What suggestion can I get to go about this situation?

Do you have an estimate of what it could cost me to change my automatic transmission to manual transmission?

kingreign:


The last time I checked, an 8th gen accord transmission cost about 140-150k, so I don’t think your transmission cost that much. I may be wrong though. Where is your location? This matters a lot, and can influence the price of the part that is bad.
I am not a huge fan of modifying or converting stuffs but if it’s your choice, who am I to tell you otherwise?

Hello house

My head gasket was replaced recently, and in less than 3 days, I found water in my engine oil during a routine check.

I want to replace the gasket, but I'm not too sure why the new one allowed water into the oil. I also don't know what material to buy for the gasket, either the asbestos one or the metal one.

My car is a Toyota matrix.

kingreign:


Did the mechanic flush the radiator after replacing the head gasket?
Did he drain the oil and refill with fresh oil to ‘cleanse’ the engine of the water found inside the oil channels, then change the oil after a few hours running the engine?

MFME7:


Since the water was found in the oil, i haven't touched the car nor allowed him to. But before the gasket was changed initially, there was no water in the oil.

I'm guessing I'll do these things you mentioned when I want to replace the gasket again.

kingreign:


Your case is different, na village people dey do the motor.
