Smithsonian12: Alright Yes, it runs well for about 20 minutes then begins to show the signs explained earlier. I'd get a mechanic to check this out tomorrow, thanks a mill. ok good |

Smithsonian12: Would do. But do you think this can cause it to throw a P0021? I occasionally get Evap Gross Leak (P0455), this doesn't come all the time First check your exhaust. Lets be sure your engine can breathe properly. You said in your earlier post it runs great the. After abt 20mins it begins to run poorly. A cloghed exhaust could also show such symptoms. So check it so we can know if your engine is breathing properly. |

Smithsonian12: Hello, thanks for the input.
Everything works except the acceleration. No hard start, no rough idling, it just doesn't rev above 2000 rpm and as a result, it doesn't move swiftly enough, also seems to get stuck on second gear.
Any ideas please? Check your exhaust system. It might be clogged. |

radautoworks: how far have you driven since? It takes about 30 miles before the light comes back if the problem is still there? If it's more than that, what AutoMoTech said. Also, why 6 spark plugs? Can you post a picture of your spark plugs and do NOT put in Tokunbo ones. |

sookoo: Thank you AutoMoTech. Thank you radautoworks. It was taken for a scan and a code said ADF-PO301. Cylinder 1 Misfire detected. The Rewire said I'll change six plugs.The guy that did the scanning cleared the error though and the light is no longer on the dashboard.
I'm entirely new at this and don't know what to do. The ABS light did not come on. i think what you had was just a misfire for a short while. that was what triggered the check engine light and the VSC. thank God its fixed now. |

Smithsonian12: Hi, I'm new here, happened upon this forum searching for solutions online.
I need your help badly. I've got an 03 Pathfinder, runs great and does the heavy lifting for my work, to be honest it's almost the perfect ride/work horse I need.
I've been having the P0021 error code on my pathfinder for a while now, starting the car from cold, it runs fine and revs well for the first 20-30 minutes and seems to go into fail safe mode once the engine heats up. I've checked my oil levels, recently replaced all Cam and Crankshaft sensors, I've also removed and checked both IVTC solenoids for any debris or blockage, did the battery test and the screens are moving quite well I think but still no luck. Live data on both solenoids read about the same ⁰CA and percent.
Its driving me crazy and gets very frustrating when this happens, perhaps it's a false positive or I'm looking in the wrong places, I'd appreciate if anyone can share his/her experience with or opinion.
Gracias mucho kindly give more details on the fail safe mode. what happens? what works? what doesn't work? there is a possibility this is an electrical problem. check all your fuses, wiring and relays too. then we can move from there |

proclinician: Lexus es 300 2003 pulled up these. Car was gotten toks in Feb. Gas milage is poor other than that it runs great. Any thoughts? The description for the First error code P0300 is wrong. It shouldn't be knock sensor code. It should be for random cylinder misfire. The next 2 codes point to either your catalyst being bad or absent or your 02 sensors being faulty and causing a false catalyst fault code. The last 3 codes point to your Evap system. There is a leak in the system and a wiring problem to your vent solenoid. Check the above. I will also advice you rescan with a more highend scanner to clarify that first code. |

drmuchin: what are the implications of radiator fan constantly on? All things being equal the cooling system is as it should be i.e. coolant temp sensor good, hoses good, thermostat present, radiator not clogged inside etc only issue will be the fan being overworked since it is constantly working. So just ensure every other thing is good. |

Dayolistic4u: After the Cam sensor is changed, the engine still misfire and I told him am not ready for the brain box now, but to my surprise the following day when I drive the car to take my kids to clinic, the misfire stop the blinking stop too but the engine check light remain on the dashboard, so I will be going to rescan the car to be sure everything is fine and check all the thing you mention here. Thank you Ok good. I will.advuce you also clear the codes. Drive the car around and lets see what codes come back. Hopefully none does sha. Probably the misfire was just a temporary issue due to bad fuel or whatever... Just monitor the performance.... Enjoy |

ocdeut: Please, I called a technician to do a scan on my Avalon car just as you recommended and after the scan, the error code was P0455. The tech said it is an Evap(evaporative) emission system leak detected(large leak). The Tech suggested it might be a gas cap issue but after proper covering of the gas cap, the issue remain unsolved. Please, what must be the possible cause and how can it be fix? Most times when the ECU records a large leak it is usually as a result of the gas cap not tight enough or being faulty. Ensure the gas cap is still in good working condition. Enough to hold the pressure within the fuel tank. Next you will need to diagnose the EVAP system as a whole. The hoses, solenoids, the pressure sensor, the fuel tank etc... |

Dayolistic4u: Am in Warri, Delta State Very sorry i responding late. I had actually typed the reply. Just checking the thread and i discovered I didnt post it. Regardless. Keep am open mind. Your Mechanic might be right or wrong. Diagnosis is what will help point you in the right direction. However i have some questions. After changing the cam sensor, were you still having the misfires? Also did you confirm the circuit integrity of the wiring from the ECU to the camshaft sensor? I believe the ECU is probably limiting engine power to 3000 RPM due to the misfire it is recording. Kindly do the following; Scan again to ensure there are no other codes causing the misfire. Try confirm the wiring to the Camshaft sensor. Confirm the sensor itself is good. Then check the ECU for any abnormailities. If all is good then the cause of the misfire might just be mechanical.... |

adeoge86: hello , my 2007 honda accord jerks forward while changing from gear 1 to gear 2 but smothly changes on other gears......however, if i remove leg from pedal when its just about to change from gear 1 to 2, it changes smoothly, what can i do to rectify this? or is it a manual gear 1? lol Lol... Chief... Nothing like manual gear one.  First start with the basics. Did you perform any repairs on the gear recently? When last did you service the trans system? Check the gear oil. Is it properly guaged? When you drive does any of the gear lights on the dash blink? Next scan the transmission. Lets see if there are any codes stored that can point us in the right direction. I suspect there is a faulty solenoid in the valve body that might need to be replaced. However lets start with the basics. |
