flootintin:
But my idea concerning compression test is the engine may require a rebuild if any cylinder fails. Or am I wrong?
That is the essence of the test.

Hello, have white smoke from exhaust when climbing a hill but disappears immediately the car is on flat surface. Every tech spoken to had concluded top cylinder but I have not oil in water or water in oil. Coolant is not drained nor oil short. What else can trigger white smoke. Noticed it happens when am a lower gears.
White smoke that occurs at any Engine speed is indication engine oil seeping into combustion chamber , go for further diagnosis (leak down or compression test) to get nail the root of the issue .

It either your pressure control solenoid is shot ,wiring or ecu issue ,don't go and throw parts to the problem but thorough low level diagnosis will reveal the root cause of the issue .

Car TalkRe: Help On P0456 by autologic:
Evap leak tracing is hard nut to crack especially if it is a small leak and to perform this troubleshooting you need the following tools
1.Evap routing diagram of the car in question:This will give u direction of what to trace.
2 Bidirectional scanner : To actuate the VSV ( vacuum switching valve and achieve a close loop within the evap route
3.Professional smoke machine with considering psi :To trace out the leak
4. handheld vacuum pump : to troubleshoot the individual VSV cos it might just be a stuck open vsv .
Armed with all these ,you are already a winner . cool cool
Let me search tru archive of autologic case studies to demonstrate how you successfully troubleshoot evap leak . Stay tuned cool

kenedy175:
Thanks alot Sir. But The problem isn't getting an ecu but making sure it works. The last one i orderd from the states ended up "partly functional". My programmer had to place another order by himself via a friend of his in The states. It came, worked fine but having transmission issues and dash board functions are not functional. As it is now, I don't think my programmer knows where the problem lies. He suggested I buy another ECU which will make it the 3rd ECU I'll be buying. I then told him about the TCM. Which he said I might have to buy to. So I'm really confused now. No be say person dey pluck money from tree
I really feel your fustration ,let chat on my number(check my signature ) and ensure to send me as much data as much as possible ,I can help with permanent fix for the issue .

As in rubbish. How does solving the above equation amount to ability to fix a mechanical problem developed in an engine? They will never set questions that will test students' ability to handle technical issues. I will do everything possible to ensure my kids get scholarship abroad or pay up myself if God bless me to go learn how to solve real time problem than solving equations upon equations without any positive outcome.
This is a university and not a technical school or polytechnic .
Technical school products repair what products of university churns out .
Foundation of every gadget is science and mathematics which is the sole reason for university
Car TalkRe: Toyota Corolla Low RPM by autologic:
Idle air controlled system is blocked with dirts restricting needed air to flow into the engine however for your type of car ,the idle system is incorporated with the throttle body . Just go ahead to service your throttle valve motor.

My Nissan primera 2005 has been misfiring. The rpm wouldn't go beyond 4000. Took it for diagnosis and it revealed "throttle sensor actuator" prob. Told I've to change it but don't know where it's sold in PH.
Outsource the job totally to your mechanic and stop bothering yourself .
Procuring parts is the responsibility of your mechanic not yours ,just allow him to throw the parts at his own risk . grin

For sometime now, my car had been giving me some trouble and wicked codes. So I decided to pay autologic a visit. My people, I didn't regret my decision.
This man turned my car to a new baby at a very good and competitive price.

If you are in lagos and getting a qualified auto mechanic is your problem, just check his signature, give him a call to schedule a visit, I am sure you won't regret it.

within a short period of time he sorted my car AC headache, stubborn evaporation emission codes and some other hidden issues that hardly throw codes

This is not a paid advert but a voluntary eye opener to some of us here.

I say a very big thank you to autologic and bye to all forms of Kazeem trial and error on my car
Thanks sir ,for the wonderfully review .Hoping to serve you even better in your next appointment .

Car TalkRe: My KIA RIO Is Giving My Sleepless Night by autologic:
NextGovernor:
I am having a serious overheating issue in my 2014 Kia Rio. My mechanic said it was top casket, he changed it and still giving me same issue. Now the car isn't even starting. It just start once and won't come on again.

He is now saying my AC compressor is overpowering my engine. But outside that it still overheat in a little distance of about 30minutes without the AC but will overheat in less than 10mins when AC is ON.

Please help a brother. I just tire.
Your car just became a victim of wrong diagnosis ,even if it rightly proven that your headgasket got broken due to overheating ,there is still a root cause responsible that broke the gasket( gasket will never break for any reason ) which has not been identified and removed and even after gasket has been replaced , thr overheating will still be waiting for you .
However ,the painfully part with the gasket change is that the engine cannot be the same again cos compression ratio has been altered due to the gasket change ,and what about if there is nothing wrong with the headgasket initially ,then the engine has been wrongly opened up for literally no reason and unnecessary altered due to ignorance on part of kazeem and owner inability to patronize professionals. It quite unfortunate that in our country ,most mechanics hands are faster than their brain ,they don't give time to perform thorough root cause analyse session before repair ,cos no reason for engine to be opened up unless the mechanic is 100% sure ,this is the reason I always empathize on 100% diagnosis cos engine opened up can never be stock again .
I will not only advice you to change mechanic also to learn from experience to only patronize recommended professional mechanics cos it will be cheaper in the long run and give u rest of mind .
Average Nigeria car owner dont take diagnosis serious but will only call for it when the car issue has gone overboard and at that level ," things might have fallen apart " grin
In my workshop ,any car owner that is not interested in our intensive diagnosis session before fix can never be our customer .
On my last shot ,even if the op change engine eventually and doesn't remove the root cause of the overheating ,the car will unfortunately overheat again . Reasons? Overheating is not a problem itself but just a symptoms of existing problem.

Car TalkRe: I Bought A Toyato Camry Big Daddy Which Turned To Be A Problematic by autologic: 7:17am On Jul 31, 2019
jubrilar:
A friend of mine informed me about his colleagues car which he want me to buy because the car is very good . I went there with a mechanic. Though the mechanic complained about fuel pump and little things which he believes it will be resolved with little money. I was not convotable but my friend confused me that the car was good that he always drove the car and he know when he bought the car. I agreed base on my friend word which i transferred to his colleague. I asked my friend to brought the car home from Gbagada to mushin. On his arrival, I noticed the car was doing overheating.... I wanted to reject the car but my friend still insist that the issue is minor. I have spend 40k so far to service and change something and the issue is yet to be resolved. Please advise me on what to do.

Should i contact the owner to return my money if it will be possible or request for money to sort out the issue as the mechanic told us that we need to replace the catalyst of the car and other things which I didn't plan to spend. The car is Toyota big dadday 2003 and he sold it 800k for me.
Try to see if you can return the car to the seller unless you dont mind coughing out 200k to do standard repair cos this car has been heavily kazeemised .

Car TalkRe: Is 80k For Not Too Much For Overhauling Big Daddy Camry by autologic: 9:14am On Jul 30, 2019
blesseddiddy10:
Good morning fellow nairalanders,

I owned and drive a Toyota Camry 2003 A.K.A Big daddy.

I am currently on a field work and my wife complained about our vehicle for school run was generating a knocking sound. So I called my longtime trusted mechanic and he is demanding a flat rate of N80k to overhaul mthe car.

To me I think this is too much of a cost. Please advise

The funny part is he has refusing to list out the parts he will use for the job and instead kept telling me he wants to do a good job for me.
Any mechanic that want to work on your car however how trusted he might be owe you the detail comprehensive list of budget what he wants to use your money for even down to the workmanship .
It is important he give u full breakdown on how he want to use the 80k for .
This will ensure accountability , transparency and record keeping for future repair that will be done on your car .
