at this point, I assuming this will be a quick, in my mind, wash tank, go to ojuelegba, buy parts install and vehicle should be out same day, But alas my village people had other plans.


To avoid traffic/where to park took an uber straight to ojuelgba.

Shop 1 I showed them pics is they had the sender and fuel pump........ Unavailable

Shop 2..... Unavailable

Shop 3, 4,5,6......unavailable.

Ok I resorted to baranda moves, called one of them, he quoted 45k for sender and 50k for pump (new parts I said no problem, go bring am, I de here

30mins later baranda called and said, Oga, I get the one wey go work am I said no worry just come back

So I concluded new and used fuel pump and sender were unavailable in ojuelegba.

Day 1 gone.


next day went shopping online, found all the parts, placed an order, all parts plus shipping were over 700dollars.

Called owner for approval, he gave consent in his words, "let's go for it"

in the mean time, vehicle is required for some small trips and parts will not arrive till end of the month, so I had to improvise on the existing structure on the fuel lines.

So I in-cooperated an internal screen filter from an old but clean pump assy, and replaced the fuel pump (toks)

Dusted off my old fuel pressure Gauge and connected it to the pipe work when the engine was running.

Readings looked good, 55-60psi engine was running fine. Took it for a test drive.

Cleared all codes, and only P0113 left (I'll find you later)

Hit the road and 10km later, vehicle started loosing power, re-scanned and p1280 was back.

Drove back slowly.

spent the night reading and watching YouTube videos, and then I saw a guy complain about the walls of the tank waring out and clogging the screen filter

Placed order for fuel tank, over 1000dolars without shipping. Work stopped first

All the traits required of tomorrow's automotive technician demonstrated in the above post....kudos

Toyota is simple crowd...Toyota is not complex to repair crowd

As at 2016, Toyota had already set in motions plans to turn the common Corolla into a complex machine

Yet more sensors are going to be installed on the Toyota Corolla.

Purpose of those sensors? To enable automatic braking systems.

More sensors? More points of failure in the event of a collision.

More sensors? More stuff to repair or replace as well as conduct pre- and post- scans during the collision repair.

One more marque that the uneducated auto technician had better not try to repair

Our Automotive Course of instruction contains nine (9) courses:

Thanks for your response Sir . I need something not too expensive to start with being the first I’ll ever buy so I can be able to scan cars from 2006 - 2015 models

Ensure it is CANBUS compliant

nams77:
Not everyone wants to be an auto electrician. There are just every day average blokes who will need a functional, modest scanner to scan their cars on a personal level to avoid the car been kazeemized.
So for such kind of person, you may not really recommend the very high end scanners (my thoughts though). I'm also interested in a modest scanner but the gurus are not forthcoming with suggestions
Let me call kingreign first weda e go answer

That's why I asked him what car does he want to scan.

So I could help him better, his answer seemed to suggest he wants to do it professionally

Hence my response about professional scanner

I have recommended a non professional scanner before on this forum
