Pls stop driving that car on public roads unless a competent technician checks and correct such malfunction.

If you are in abuja, contact me for a thorough diagnosis.

Please I drive a corrola 2005/2006, but it has been giving issue. It usually goes off when I am accelerating and might not start again after sometime. First of all, it will not accelerate and then it will just stop.

Note:
I have changed plugs, serviced noozle and also changed fuel pump.

This problem still remains. All the mechanic I have met do not have solutions to it, and even car electricians too are also confused.

Please help me so that I can use the car without this frustration.

Re-check ALL engine and transmission mounts. Also, ensure you use genuine brand new or correct tokunbo mounts.

Clear codes, drive for some days and accumulate over 50km distance, then rescan and post codes you got.

if it were the fuel rail pressure sensor, it would had popped up a code related to that sensor.

In all, I’m glad your car has been fixed and it’s back on the road.

Yes it did my brother but the technician said it's not the problem since its starting and offing.
Ha but thank God am good nw.

I used a different fuel pressure sensor from the one i removed but it still work.
Please o hope its wont cause me another problem.
D first picture is the one i removed for the car.
While the second in the one the car is using correctly.

Prior to the shredding of your previous belt, was your car experiencing battery drain and startability issue?
If yes, you need to probe further to find the fault, if no, have the alternator voltage checked when car is running on idle with:
1. Battery voltage before starting of vehicle,
2. one terminal disconnected,
3. both battery terminal connected,
4. battery terminals connected and all electrical loads turned on
5. Battery voltage after engine is turned off and terminals disconnected for 1 hr.

Use a digital multimeter with its dial at 20V and test then revert back with the voltage readings at the above tests.

Sorry I haven't reported back on this. I was able to do this with a colleagues multimeter yesterday. We set the dial at 20V. I did three out of all you listed here.

We tested the battery first of all with multimeter while the car was off. I got a reading of 12.70V.

Then I switched on the car and the multimeter gave a reading of 14.16V.

Then I switched on everything in the car. Headlamps, airconditioner, radio and the reading was 14.07V.

Your car running voltage normally should read between 13.2-14.8V so this rules out alternator. Have you checked your ELD (electronic load distribution) relay?

Also, whenever you can start your car, pls drive it for over 50km distance and scan.

Hope your car fuse or ecm has not been tampered with?

Nothing has been changed in my car fuse region. I hav not even had any issues that will warrant anyone touching my fuses. And I am always present when my carvis worked on.

I will do as you asked and revert. I mentioned it to my my mechanic and the rewire there said it might be my kick. That I should monitor it further. I have not had a kick starter problem before and hence don't know the symptoms.

It’s not out of place to check your starter motor also.

have you done diagnosis? a failing crankshaft or camshaft position sensor may be causing this. when you replaced fuel pump, was it the complete pump that was replaced or just the pump motor
.
corollas are too simple in design for to be having a hard time hard time troubleshooting.

Good day car gurus. Thanks for all the assistance here.

My Honda Accord 07 doesn't revv beyond 3000rpm. Again if I step on the clutch pedal forcefully for fast acceleration, the car will be jerking and when I release my foot, car drives fine if I press pedal gently.

Cars idles fine. No jerking while idle only jerks when I forcefully step hard on the pedal. What could likely be the challenge?

scan first. fuel rail pressure could be low which the fuel pump could be responsible

Hi Bosses,

When I put on my Ac and I'm driving my car feels heavy when I accelerate what could be the cause.

Secondly, when the Ac is on and working cold it just blows hot and later it gets cold again.

don't understand your message

do you notice if this happens when you hit a bump or pothole while driving. car shutting off with no check light can be a sign of failing ECM(brainbox)

My 2007 Toyota corolla, indicate bake on dashboard, but the brake is working properly, also the Noise from the Silencer is wider, ie louder, but i think this is due to the unavailable of the catalyst, but what could be the possible solution to make the Silencer more cool. Because the speedometer guage isn't up to zero, before acceleration and if I increase the slow, the Noice from the Silencer will increase higher again.

Have a panelbeater weld fix that broken exhaust.
As for your ‘brake’ warning light, check if your Brake fluid is up to level, check parking brake switch and check foot brake sensor.

Scan and post codes so we know what to advise.

Did you recently work on the steering or did you recently swim?
