Put your own sensor on the toks hub. Ensure the wiring for the abs sensor is intact.

What oil do you use and how long do you use it?
For that code, you need to replace the VTC sensor by the right side of the engine, close to the engine side mount.

However, I suggest you clean that part to ensure no dirt or foreign matter is blocking the screen, then use a fresh clean oil after installing that part.

Hi boss, just removed it and sprayed with carb cleaner, re-insert and thing and code clear, thanks again chief.

I use Camry 2010 4cylinder. Whenever I buy some good quantity of fuel, the car takes time to start and steam normal. This has continued for over a year now. What is the possible cause of this?

A lot of things can cause this delayed start. Have the car scanned and if no codes pops up, have it inspected by a competent technician.

I think fuel is going into his EVAP or purge valve.

What do you think?

I’m thinking towards that but I need him to scan and post codes so I’d be sure and then he can get recommendations on what to do.

Drop valve body, get the exact faulty shift solenoid replaced, reinstall everything back, change trans filter, pour in fresh ATF, test drive. If it works you’re good to go, if not, I’d suggest you replace transmission.
This isn’t a DIY operation.

By the way, where is your car located?

Please I can't find the auxiliary port in my MDX 2008. I checked the central console armrest. This is what I saw. (Attached picture).

Though there are some ports facing the back seat below the rear ac vents. Not working with the auxiliary.

If your vehicle has the DVD system, you don’t have the aux port. If it doesn’t have the DVD option, then you have the aux port in your center console with a cover that is lifted from the bottom side.

Hello nairalanders,
have an issue with my 2003 Highlander . I noticed recently that when I engaged the
the reverse gear the vehicle jerks when trying to remove my leg from the break pedal.
I don’t experience that kick when I shift to Drive, it only occurs when Reverse is engaged.
I talked to a mechanic, he initially said it was bad break lining but when he removed the rear breaks system they were still in good condition. He now said it may be ABS brake system that is bad
Do anyone have similar experience or have an of what could be the cause?

Please I use a 2009 Honda Civic. The car is too low and very obvious when it meets undulating roads, it keeps hitting the ground anyhow. I'm in Abuja... please help recommend a good place around to go lift it, alongside an idea of the price? Thanks

A civic is low to the ground as designed from the manufacturer. If you can’t drive it like that, please sell it off and get a CRV or pilot or element or any taller vehicle.

Both are good. Ultimately, it’s for you to decide which fits into your bills and expectations more.

poshemmanuel:

you help me decide because I have little experience for now when it comes to auto mobile (cars), like I said before one will be use for taxi
and car drop while the other will be use for errands (driving to
village sometimes, driving to other states sometimes, driving
to market to get food stuffs etc), student use and personal
use. Very Very important things to consider for these two cars
are fuel-efficient, cheap and easy to maintain, good on Nigeria
roads and available cheap parts. I am really confused, please
what's your advice? please help me decide on the two cars for that purpose above to buy from abroad

Corolla
