Chai.. hahahaha for dis naija ehn, we go gather dey whyn eachoda

Billiebaba:
Is there a way of checking it without a scope and without removing the valve cover

To check without removing valve cover you need a scope sir.
Best way to confirm timing is via a scope.

Billiebaba:
Good evening boss, I was working on a car today Corolla 2009 with a 2zr engine. Before accident, the car was starting fine without problems. During the course of repairs engine had to be removed. After the repairs engine was replaced everything was put back in place except for the airbags they were yet to be replaced because of funds. Here is the problem, I have spark, fuel, compression, at times it will do as if it wanna start but it won't start after a very long crank. No fault codes present In the Powertrain ECU. I'm just stuck as I don't know what to do, though the engine sat outside the car for about a week.

Confirm timing is correct...
Presence of air, fuel and spark at wrong time, d engine will never run.
Let us start with confirming ignition timing is correct.
If timing is correct , then lets check the sensors responsible for letting the computer know when to fire the ignition and injectors... These are the Cam and Crank sensors... Confirm they work as they should

Hello Car gurus,

My corolla 2010 is showing VSC on the dash board and the check engine light came up.
The car suddenly is consuming too much fuel.
What can I do ? I need help

First thing is to scan... Afterwards provide the codes here so we can help with further diagnosis.
Also i do not think the vsc has anything to do with your fuel consumption except if it has to do with a faulty EVAP system. Because usually a fault in any of the emission system triggers the VSC light on with the CEL.
There might be something else causing it which might also be revealed in the scan result...

Rocice:
I meant that I've fixed the ECU
Its a new one now
I scanned it today and the error codes are mass airflow and TPS error codes

Ok. Now i get it.
My advice is this, somtyms a dirty or faulty MAF sensor makes the ECU think the throttle is faulty. In some other cases it is the other wat round.
So kindly diagnose wc of these components is faulty.... But my mind dey tell me say na dt MAF dey cause dis whole wahala.
B4 anything sha... Try clean your throttle body first. Dt shldnt cost u anything. Do dt n let's see what happens.

Rocice:
P0120 and P1410
Throttle position sensor and mass air flow
This was fixed before I changed the ECU

Ok. So now that the ECU is bad
What codes are stored?

Rocice:
Will do.so
Thanks

Pls do let us know what codes are stored

Rocice:
Hello bosses,
My Toyota Camry 2003 has been having stalling issues recently(whenever i am driving the car always stalls/powers off and sometimes the throttle loses power and i will have to park and restart the engine again before it can work).
I changed the ECU and the car worked perfectly for 1+ week and yesterday the problem started all over again
Pls what can i do
i am fed up

Is the check engine light on? If yes pls kindly carry out a scan as a first step in this diagnosis.

Also kindly provide any detail you believe would be relevant to this diagnosis. Thanks

Xtianvic:
Please my Lexus es300 sometimes finds it difficult to speed up once it slows down.
Sometimes no matter how much you trottle down it may still be running at about 20km/hr, and would gradually pick up after sometime.

I suspect the gear is not returning well.

Please what could be wrong?
Cc Automotech et al

alot could be wrong.
low fuel pressure
weak ignition spark
faulty MAF etc..
kindly run a scan and also diagnose the problem sir...

Waxxxy:
Thank you. I will snap it for you to see

ok...pls do.

Waxxxy:
Sorry for replying late. Please can I use soft cloth with petrol to clean it? And how will I do the relearn
Thank you

yes you can. kindly do it gently please so as not to damage anything. however this is only necessary if the throttle body is dirty.

It's an Honda city 2007 comes with 7speed mode. Only at this particular gear, when it get to 60 - 80 km/h
P0700 is the other code but I hear is just telling us it's a transmission issue

There is a switch called the torque converter clutch switch. The PCM uses it to monitor the transmission.
If the switch, wiring is faulty it can cause this problems. Find a competent tech who can test/diagnose the switch and also d wiring

temi4fash:
Hello,

Please i scanned my car and it came back with error code p1887.

I noticed a hard shifting when it is around 70 - 80km/h.

The tech cleaned ,checked and tested the sensors and he said it was still good.

But the hard shifting is still there. Says i need to buy a new gear...

Can you help

Kindly provide more details of this said vehicle
The above bolded..Is this the only code on the vehicle?
Do you experience hard shifting at every gear or just a particular gear?

TheNewAgeFarmer:
problem solved. Throttle body was replaced.

wow beautiful... congratulations

Hello,my honda accord jerks when gear changes especially if the car has been idle and there's a slow response while throttling at a higher RPM.

Model year of vehicle pls.

AutoMoTech:

nutripotherbals:
Nigerian used of that car is 800,000- you can get plenty of them very clean too in Abuja and Lagos.


Do not pay more than N900K for 08 CIVIC used in Nigeria.

Don't do it!

Ofemmanu1:
Boss, I want to change my Honda Accord 2007 gear oil cos it's brownish and it's drying up (not up to gauge)
I got to a shop and I found out there are two types.
the fake N3,500 and original N18,000 respectively.
The cheaper is cool for me considering the economy but I'm afraid it may damage my gear.

Please write back sir.

wrong thread. you can reach him via his repair thread

Waxxxy:

Imagine this is a 2012 model going for 1.6m+ and i believe its still negotiable.
So why would U buy dt 2008 for 1.3m?

As stated time and time again by ppl here, that civic is too expensive for that price.
Though its a lovely car. Much finer interior compared to the corolla/yaris. Very Excellent fuel economy too. However Personally i wouldn't spend more than 800k on that vehicle.
Once U buy it, u loose alot of value. Put it back on d market and see how ppl will price it. If u have 1 million sir pls do try n get a clean corolla. Dey hold more value better than that civic. Except if u dey fear thief sha o.
Bt even at 1 million, that vehicle is too expensive.
Same model was advertised recently in auto section for abt 700k or so. Brown color very clean interior. Sold fast tho. Not sure d thread lasted more than 2 days dt it was sold.
Happy decision making

Oya share pictures

Good evening fam... Still here to help...

Monkeyprick:
Please take Ford & Mazda out of those cars if you don't want to loose your sanity. They're beauty to behold with eye catching interiors but when their electrical problems start, you'll hate yourself.

i strongly disagree with this. Electrical problems are not the issue. Every single car has electrical problems. However i must admit some vehicles show less problems compared to others.
I believe Finding a technician that understands how these systems work, correctly diagnosing the issue and fixing it correclty is the problem.
Although i must still confess some cars are sent from hell but still i dont subscribe to the believe that certain brands make bad products while others dont. Thats false.

Santa2:
I have a 2014 hyundai sonata, and it doesn't runs smoothly,it jerks intermittenly .it runs like one of the nozzle is not working with periodic jerks, The scan does not return any error. Am at wit ends on what to do about it.

What you need to do is simple sir. You need that issue diagnosed right away. So pls find a competent technician to help you accurately diagnose the problem.

Got any issue we can help with? Drop your concerns...
