My car is displaying check engine light on dashboard. just scanned it and I got 3 errors out of which 2 were wiped out but the P0340 refused to go and the check engine light is still on. The automec guy told me the remaining one will need to be access thoroughly and is not computer work. Anyone with idea? I need solution asap.
which car?

P0340 refused to go and the check engine light is still on
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
check you CAMSHAFT sesnor. ensure its working perfectly as it should
next check the wiring and connector from sensor to PCM. correct any faults with the wiring

Thanks..

I would have the vehicle scanned and revert.
no problem.. pls note by diagnosis i do not mean just scanning. scanning is only one of the many steps to be taken during diagnosis. It also involves carrying out tests and some other stuffs to confirm whats really wrong with the system.

Hello Everyone,

I notice my gear would take time before it shift sometimes I rev up to 4 rpm and stay for a while about 3 mins before it shifts although not everytime.
when last did you service your transmission? if you did was it with the recommended oil or otherwise?

I also notice the engine sometimes vibrates when I use the brakes in traffic and stops momentarily before it begins to move again.
could be as a result of misfire, bad spark plugs, clogged injectors, bad engine mounts or some other things. needs to be diagnosed.

Lastly, When am accelerating the car would sometimes jerk a lil before it begins to move..
bad engine mounts, tranmission failure, misfire, weak ignition spark ect

Please what could be wrong??
alot could be wrong and just one thing could be wrong. find a competent tech to help you with diagnosing your vehicle.

The car is a Honda City 2007.

Good evening house, my corrola 02 suddenly jerks and stops when I'm in a hold up or slowing down. I've changed the injector. Another mechanic says that I need to get another injectors. Please help. 08165471453.
First of all kindly provide more info.
Does this vehicle switch off only when you're in hold up?
If you despress the throttle a little bit while in traffic does it still die?
Why did the Mechanic suggest another injector? Did he diagnose it himself?


Your answer will help us give more accurate advice of how to go about he diagnosis.
Dirty throttle body (most likely), dirty or clogged injectors could also show these symptoms.

The competent mechanic is my issue o. The Kazeem i used last time was terrible. I need a good one that can either come fix the car at my place or pick and drop when finished. I am rarely available except on sundays. I'm open to suggestions if you know anyone that can offer such services.

Please can car alternator be repaired?
My car just went off in traffic and rewire checked the alternator after the car drained 2 batteries.
He said its bad.
So here comes my question, how reliable is it to repair (recoil) or should i just go ahead and get another one. My pocket no too deep, na why i dey ask.
Can be repaired however it "might" not last as long. Eventually U might spend more wen it fails again. My recommendation is you get another one. Tokunbo... Not coupled o.

it is a 4cylinder
Formally it was only in two cylinders I noticed the fouled plugs but today I notice it in all plugs
Car do not experience any misfire whatsoever fire normal and very rich
Ok good. So no misfire just a very rich misture.
This issue needs to be diagnosed sir. Its abnormal for the engine to run rich as commanded by the PCM. there is most likely a faulty or false input somewhere causing the PCM to make the engine run rich.
Absence of thermostat, faulty Them. sensor, failed 02 sensors etc. So pls kindly find a competent tech to help with checking these things

The problem is not with your spark plugs... But the combustion process within both cylinders.
Usually black soot is as a result of a rich condition/incomplete combustion process... That means excess fuel within those cylinders. So pay close attention to that. However some others things could cause it so keep an open mind.
U can try swap injectors btw cylinders. Drive long distance and then see what happens.

Billiebaba:
Forgive my memory, I just got it clearly now. I'm being confused with duty cycle of electric motors as their speed is controlled by the percentage duty cycle and forgetting that injectors duty cycle varies the amount of time it will open, thinking it only controls rotary related components. I agree injectors are pulse width modulated.

Don't mind the people laughing at you here most of them don't know nothing outside d internet.
Look around your local area and dealers.
You will be surprised at cars you can get.
The country is very Hard right now people are selling their cars at give away prices just to feed.
This is actually the best time to buy Nigeria used vehicles at a very low price.
U make alot of sense brother.
@OP do not be discouraged. A guy in my office just got a clean Mitsubishi Lancer for 250k.
Engine and gear in perfect condition. Interior too was clean. Rug don stain bt dash board was perfect. Body don chop dents tho... Dts d only thing he will be working on. So dont be discouraged. If dts wat U have, God can direct you to a place U will get a good vehicle....
