Good morning, Please I need help with my Honda civic 92. It doesn't start in the morning, we have to push it everyday, and after driving for a while it may start and sometimes it may not. It gives me a long cranking like there's no fuel in the car. The return from fuel pump is strong so i ruled it out. I changed fuel pressure regulator but still the problem persist. Please I need suggestions on what to do.
Thanks.
confirm do you have ignition spark, fuel supply and good air supply to engine during cranking?

I need help on my car very urgently..

I own a camry muscle 2007/2008 but i noticed that if i choose not to use AC when driving the car, I can drive it from lagos to Ibadan without issue.

But any time I switch on the AC and keep driving, the car suddenly trip off on the road. sometimes it will start immediately when restarted with AC off.
And sometimes i will wait for about 5-10 mins before it can start.

Kindly help out with possible solutions..
Is your AC system still factory circuitry or it has been kazeemized?
I suppose there is a high chance your AC system has been kazeemized. And it has become the cause of this sudden engine trip off.
Find a competent tech to help you diagnose the cause of this problem and fix this issue.
Where are you located?

My car, 02 Toyota Avalon vibrates when on idle. I will start the car, after 3 attempts before it starts and it will start vibrating and not fire well, sometimes it will stop on its own. I'm suspecting my spark plugs cus I haven't changed them for awhile now. Please is there anything else that could be bad asides the spark plugs?
Stop throwing parts.
Spark plugs are made to last a long time. Doesn't require changing and changing every time.
Back to the issue: when the vehicle vibrates, does your check engine light flash or does it stay solid? Trying to identify if its a misfire issue.
Kindly reach a competent tech to check your ignition system, fuel injection and air supply.
Why? Corroded spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors among other things could cause this vibration.
A dirty throttle body could also cause such vibration.
Diagnose the issue pls don't throw parts.
A vacuum leak could also cause this...

Good Evening.
I use a Lexus 350 07/08.
Recently, the is a noise like the power steering oil leaked and the pump making noise. At the same time the Ac stopped cooling.
I had met one or two technicians on ac.
One told me it is the condemnation that leaked the oil and gas.
Recently, I met a man that claimed to be a Japanese vehicle Mechanic.
He had the sound and told me it is the Ac compressor that has gone bad, hence the noise I am hearing.
Please, advice me on what to do.
A part of me say I should go to do diagnosis before giving it for repair.
This shouldn't be a problem sir. Just trace the noise.
For power steering, is it hard? When you turn your steering end to end does it make that noise?
For the compressor, there is a possibility it is the cause of the non cooling. What you need to do is get a competent AC tech to check your AC system, diagnose it and fix as required.

Jobminister:
My Toyota camry 2007 has this vibration when ever am moving on an uneven road. tie rod and down link have been checked and confirmed ok, all four shocks also confirmed ok.

The vibration is around the back side in between the two back tyre area.

Someone is suggesting I should check bushing and cacam bar ( dont know the spelling).

Please what do you think might be the issue with the car.
When it comes to suspension problems sir. Some faults cannot be identified by just looking. You need to dismantle all the components and check them.
For you to solve this sir, i will suggest you dismantle the area you feel the noise is coming from and check each and every component. Change faulty components.

Stop throwing parts. You are only wasting money. The first problem you must solve is to find a competent technician to help you scan and diagnose your vehicle problem.

House please I just noticed somethings in my car, while ac on the radio switches off and on, the fuel gauge drops, the odometer indicator too go off, rpm drops almost to zero and car vibrates much... What could be the cause... Urgently
Possible the Compressor circuit was connected/ "tapped" from the instrument cluster circuit... And this is causing a high current draw on tha circuit....

Check where the AC compressor is connected to

What's your thoughts on these codes-'01 Volvo V40
Sorry i am personally biased against some of these cheap scanners. Tested one a long tym ago, was always throwing wrong codes until i used a more capable scanner. And codes were different.

However, store these initial codes somewhere. Clear the codes. Test drive the vehicle and lets see what codes come back.
U can also try to locate the o2 sensor fuses, replaced if damaged. If d fuse is good then check the o2 sensor wiring. From the sensor to the ECU if there is good continuity then you should change the sensors for a good one.

For the crank Position Sensor inspect the sensor and circuit. Confirm where the problem is before you change the part.

The the fan check the circuit from fuse to wiring to fan.

For TPS check the ref. voltage supply, signal and ground
1. At the ecu.
2. At the sensor. (While sensor is disconnected)
3. From the sensor (while sensor is connected)

[Aquote author=AutoMoTech post=83848492]
Kindly scan the vehicle pls. And post error codes here so we can help guide you
First is to check your Crank Position Sensor and it's wiring. Dont be quick to throw parts. Bt u might be lucky tho.
Just ensure u test the sensor/wiring confirm they r bad before changing parts.
Also inspect d tone wheels.

Hello.. Am using Volkswagen jetta 2007 1.6, I recently noticed that the AC only cool in the morning and when it's working[b], it doesn't circulate it cover only front not working at the back.[/b] What could have happend? . [b]Moreso, the radiator fans working when I ON the AC. [/b]Thanks
Afternoon sir.
Your AC not circulating to d back. I would like to ask.
1. Are there AC vents at the back? Or it's only on d dash bt doesn't circulate to the back?
2. If your AC only cools in the morning, you might have low gas, faulty/weak compressor, dirty condenser etc...

It is normal for your radiator fans to come on when you turn on your AC

nonhuman:
there is no coolant in the coolant container in my hyunadai Tucson 2008 but my engine does not over heat. Do I need to poor coolant?

2. My tires are making wururu sound when on the road I have changed two front bearings in less than a week it continues, what should I do

3. After 30min of driving the acceleration becomes lazy, needs to be pressed down before it will pick up properly
1. how are you sure your engine is not overheating?
pls kindly top up your coolant reservoir and then monitor again. there is a possibility what you are experiencing is a very small slow coolant leak. you need to pressure test that cooling system before we can confidently agree that its not overheating.

2. since you changed bearing twice and its still making noise, there are 2 possibilities,
i. the replacement part was bad.
ii. what was changed was not the faulty parts.

3. you need to scan and do a deep diagnosis while the vehicle is being driven. watch the parameters that change and falls out of place.

best regards.

Save and buy car outright.

Why pay over 70% more than market price in the name of hire purchase?

Normal price is 1.5m

Hire purchase 2.5

Extra 1m spent... You just want to throway 1million..

That 1m can buy you another car making 2 cars even land sef

Please have patience, save and buy another car straight... No worries about paying anybody every month
some how i think the OP is deliberately not seeing the places y'all are telling him the car is too expensive at that price.
@DARLINGTON869 that 2.5 milla hols sir can buy you 2 of that ride.
with 1.5 you'll get a very clean one plus 1 mill in your pocket. pls why are you now seeing all this warning?

U0124 Lost Communication With Lateral Acceleration Sensor (LAS) Module
U0123 Lost Communication With Yaw Rate Sensor (YRS) Module


Check your Yaw Rate Sensor and Lateral Acceleration sensor module.
if they look ok. check the wiring. there is a possibility they have been disconnected.
also check your fuse box. it is possible the fuse responsible for powering this component has been damaged or removed.
