It’s a 22year old car, the Evap system has served its purpose, get a good working Evap system with the hoses and valve then have your technician install it and call it a day.

I doubt you’re going to get a brand new unit except you import one yourself.

Remove battery terminal connection first,
Check the harness that plugs into the transmission for short circuit, breakage or breach. Check the pins on the socket if rusty, clean the harness socket with appropriate electrical cleaner, allow to dry, then connect the harness back securely, clear code. If it works you’re good, if it doesn’t work, you may be looking at another transmission control module or gearbox.

Good morning kingreign, please I don come again.
See the codes I got P1733 and P0780.
Symptoms: gear slips while in drive (likely going into 2nd gear)
Also, there is an oil leak from the gear system.

Car is already with the mechanic.

Hi, Good morning
Happy new year
I have an issue with my Lexus RX 350 2011
It’s makes loud noise while I’m driving
And also it jerks to the front every minute while driving
Also it makes an unusually sound whenever I press my brake in a go slow area.

I spoke to my mechanic about the issue for a while now but he still hasn’t seen a solution
He said something in the gear has issues that’s why it jerks to the front while in motion
Also about the loud noise he said the vehicle doesn’t have catalyst.

Finally the sound I hear whenever I press the brake comes from the right hand side front tire, he told me it’s the shock absorber
I gave him money to purchase a new one
But the problem still persists.

I just want to ask for help in this forum to recommend a solution or to refer me to a good Lexus mechanic in Lagos or Abeokuta
I’d be glad to hear from you guys
Thanks.

The problem you’re facing requires physical painstaking diagnosis, remote diagnosis is unavailable. Recommendation on who to meet for such diagnosis is unavailable.

Dear Gurus,

What could make gear not to pump oil even after replacing the pump and converter to another tokunbo.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by NameError(m): 8:51pm On Jan 11, 2023
Hello guys, I'd start by appreciating the contributors on this thread. This is my first car (Hyundai Accent 2005) and the posts here have been greatly helpful.

Before now, the aforementioned vehicle was used for UBER and endured a couple of accidents (mostly front) by the handler. Fast track to now; today my AC guy noticed the compressor wiring had been removed and he fixed this with tape, the AC is now working (as it last month it only blows air - hot air), but I noticed the car overheats on a 10 mins drive with the AC indicator at 3 after this fix. (issue #1)

I replaced the battery (75AH before and now) so it should be enough to carry the compressor but I do not understand what's wrong. I only use the car to my gym place and back home, and my area is pretty much a slope, so I've had to pushed the accelerator all the way back to climb up. (issue #2) - I do not have to push that hard on a Highlander 2020 I occasionally drive, in the same area.

I would appreciate solutions/guides for both issues. I am still trying to get a trusted mechanic but I need to get useful tips on here before going for repairs tomorrow. Thank you.

Location: Allen, Ikeja, Lagos.
Car model: Hyundai Accent 2005.
Years in operation (car): 10-15 years (bought as new).

Issue 2. Your powertrain may be showing signs of tiredness, old age and weakness in outputs hence the throttle to the metal when plying that slope. My response here is just me trying to understand and paint a mental scenario of what’s happening. That said, pls have the car checked by a competent mechanic.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by CruzJoe(m): 9:17pm On Jan 12, 2023
pls experts, what's the cause of this in a tier?
what will the mechanic work on, to correct it from chopping another new tier when changed.

Note: the other side of the car tier is still very okey, no single chopping. Only this driver side is chopped.

One or more of your arms or bushing is bad. If your car has adjustable camber settings, you may have to correct the camber angle. Please what car is this?

Check if sump has been knocked upwards, also check if transmission filter is dirty or low. Drain and fill with recommended ATF. If symptoms persists, pls, change gearbox.

Greetings!!

Please my Toyota Camry 1997/1998 is giving me headache. If I park the car in an open space where there's direct sunlight or if I drive it for let's say close to an hour, the mileage digits will clear off, disappear and the gear will no longer select until I drive to where there's shade and park for an hour before the mileage digits comes up again. If not, i will just be firing gear one all along.

What's the solution please?

At the end of the day, after a year of headache on this issue, I ended up replacing the entire clock and meter cluster @18k.
I can now drive my car to anywhere with no fear even in a hot sun of 1000 degree Celsius �
