Car Talk / Re: NGK Plugs by AutoMoTech(m): 4:59pm On Mar 26, 2023 |
7bucklife:Higher fuel consumption is a factor of so many things. Although fake spark plugs producing weak sparks can affect engine performance. The brainbox will adjust and spray more fuel in order to produce more power and this is to compensate for the weak spark. However, the way you sound, for you to have noticed the higher fuel consumption it feels like there is something else causing this higher fuel consumption other than the plugs Can you provide more details on what job was done the day you replaced the plugs? Also how much fuel did you use for certain distance covered compared to after you replaced the plugs? You need a competent tech to help you diagnose. Let him check your MAF/MAP sensor signals, O2 sensor signals, fuel trims etc. That should help guide in the repair process. |
Car Talk / Re: I Was Stop At Police Road Block By Policeman Today. by AutoMoTech(m): 4:45pm On Mar 26, 2023 |
AutoManual:Wow just wow. You have been opening new threads for everything happening in your life. What exactly is the point of these thread exactly? How does it help anyone? Why not go to Twitter and post your life stories there? Should we expect another thread of the goat that impregnated a dog on your street? It's quite annoying how these useless threads of yours keep popping up everywhere using up valuable time and space that other people who genuinely need help can use and get help in return. Baba can you grow up already? First you made like a million threads about different cars you had interested in but you never bought. Next you finally got one and created another thread again. Next you are here creating another thread that a policeman stopped you. You dont realise what makes cartalk interesting is also the fact that you could have created a single thread, take people along in your journey to owning a vehicle, tell a beautiful/ugly stories of inspections, the ride you finally bought etc. It is the story/journey you document that is the fun. Why create many threads and just cause noise all over the place? You really need to grow up man. Lik wtf.... 2 Likes |

Psalmy2cute:@bolded baba everything no be fuse always. Sometimes you can be lucky its just a fuse. Other times its more than that. The comand system of the Mercedes na bery werey something. We have fixed some that was just fuse, some others na the comand don spoil. Other times rat fit don chop wire somewhere. My advice? Find a competent Merc technician to help you check it. If you wanna do it yourself then search for COMAND fuse and your model. You should be able to get something online. Youtube can also help too. 1 Like |

Piyke:you are very correct on this. most mechanics don't replace it as a serviceable part. they dont even know the function. and yes it is a very high cause for sludge formation. most pcv systems are non-functional causing by-pass gases to remain in the crankcase instead of it being recycled into the combustion chamber. 1 Like |

chris81964: true... because the more hot and cool cycle the oil goes through also adds to the possible formation of sludge. 1 Like |

sooperrescue:I'm sorry but this doesn't add up to me. If the oils exceeded what was recommended by Toyota as you mentioned, then it is only expected that the oil should perform better. considering the fact the oils have good detergent and additives to prevent the formation of sludge due to oxidation. Also consider the fact that the oil change interval was religiously kept at 5,000 miles. My thought. 2 Likes |

Itsrm: Hmmmm this is very interesting. So wait... Engines came in looking clean no issues. But gets to Nigeria being used for e-hailing and boom the engine don crase again. Shey na out weather ni abi wetin dey occur gan gan? because I want to believe the oils used were imported Mobil 1 and they should have been good quality oils. Would he interesting if we're able to narrow down the specific cause of this sludge build up. |

Piyke: haha... Does the diesel trick work? used it once on my former Nissan Altima... wasn't sure if it worked tho. Also I still wonder why the 1ZZ and ZR engines are notorious for building up sludge so much. Seen so much of it, it feels crazy. I personally believe there is only how far this sludge removers can work. e get the kind sludge wey dem no fit comot. those ones that are thick like icing... |
