Baba, I just dey watch you as you dey speak all this English since ...Ieave the woman alone to get Physical diagnosis and repair of her car


Madam Op, don't let anyone remotely diagnose anything for You....Google mechanics full dis forum...Take Tpound's advice and run with it...it's your best bet....If possible, go to the Ojuelegba first without the car, ask questions who fixes your car type, contact the person and see for sure that he isn't a Jack of all trade but specializes in Americana vehicles before you submit your vehicle...Or more simply, there are many notable members of this forum who you can contact and ask for definite referrals for such mechs....One of them is even a woman like yourself

Also try not to go alone to wherever you are getting the car fixed..Get a man or even men
to accompany you to avoid any "I thy no" situations

Bye

OP if one does not usually talk in discussions or have a discussion page of his own does not make someone incompetent. I know myself and what I'm capable of, and I'm ready to defend it. So pls other OP it's your choice to choose whoever you want to work on your car. Thanks

Pls can you be more specific with what you said is wrong with it, direct connections, what kind of direct connection, I'm sure your car will be equipped with an immobiliser, that won't make your car start without the key near the key cylinder. So I need in depth details, or better still, we can make an appointment to diagnose your car.

Blackbishop:
Why sir?
Hope I never match line sir?

I was a Computer Science Graduate

Nooo, not at all, I just wan throw twaile for you ni. Nothing else

halima83:
sheikh you said a good auto electrician does not need to specialise on a particular brand

Madam, I don't know if your car is a push to start system or mechanical key, I only need those information so as to know where to start from, each car brand has a way in which there ignition system is designed, though they have they have the same working principles. I have fixed BMW, BENZ, Japanese vehicles and Fords i can tell you they have a completely different systems, but the same working principles. I just need those infos to know where and how to start diagnosing your vehicle.

Blackbishop:
Calculate with this
1 gallon is equivalent to 3.7 or approximately 4 litres
1 mile is equivalent to 1.609 kilometer

Pls, if I may ask, what was your course of study in higher institution??

halima83:
the car cannot start with key. mechanic did some direct connection to start it.

Can I get the full details of the car, brand, model and year

Bro, you can go with any car just avoid the ones that will draw attention to you. It all depends on your auto tech. I'm also a student like you, and I fix cars, which ever option you make, I can handle any kinda repair or fix back to manufacturer specs at very affordable rates because I got what it takes.

halima83:
Please where can i get or you refer me to a very good American car electrician in Lagos to fix electical problem on my GMC.

Please i need it urgently.

Thanks,

Secondly it's not really about someone good with a particular product or brand.
If you can get someone that understands automotive electronics you are good to go. If you need one you can hit me up.
What's the problem with it share and let's help

Macmilla:
Good day boss.
I have this 2006 Honda accord v6 (discussion continues). It has a couple of problems and I need help with it.

1. Car seems to loose power. It drives like a weak old 4cyl engine. Some times the throttle will need to be pressed all the way down before the gearbox kicks down. No, the gearbox doesn't slip, it changes smoothly. No check engine light. Air filter has been cleaned.

2. When started in the morning, it sounds like it had a leak in the exhaust, but sound normalises as the car warms up. You barely notice the bad sound when fully hot (not completely gone). Car had a bad exhaust gasket, which was fixed. All attempt to find another leak proved abortive. One of the three catalysts is missing in the pot, though pot remains intact (don't ask me how), but the remaining 2 are in very good shape. I don't think the missing catalytic converter is the cause cos catalytic converter is only responsible for emissions, but I might be wrong.

3. The car fails to crank sometimes when the ignition is turned. I just get a click from the engine. I have to return key to 0 and then try again. Sometimes it cranks on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. I was told it was the ignition switch on the steering column because it makes some tiny sparking sound if the key is turned slowly to start. I've replaced the ignition switch, sparking sound is gone, but sometimes it still doesn't start. Could it be the starter packing up?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Go for a scan

psalmz:
whats pcm

Brain box

psalmz:
but it looks fresh though

Go for a scan the PCM might have something for us.

buygala:
Transmission coolant?


Never knew Hondas have transmission coolants separate from the engine coolant

Apologies for not being specific, I was referring to the transmission oil. It serves as the lubricant, power transmission within the gearbox, and as coolant.

Normally, engine from ladipo is only God. The best thing to do is let him remove the engine and return it to seller for rectification or collect another one, if he tempers it, and something else happens to the engine, omo igbo no go collect am again ooo

psalmz:
was thinking it’s a brushing issue

Hmmm, what's brushing.
Check your transmission coolant level and conditions too
And what I meant by cooling issueis, your gearbox might be overheating.

I feel it's a cooling issue, use a scan tool to check live data for the transmission box temperature.

Blackbishop:
The likely cause is a damaged Cylinder head

I would like a logical explanation to your thoughts. He said the plug on that cylinder is not working, I'm bending towards the circuit of that coil on that cylinder, power, ground and signal to that coil.

kellystech:
just change the engine, had similar problems with my Honda accord ended up changing d engine

Oga how can you just change engine when the engine did not knock, or crack.
OP pls look for some one that can work with live data, to fix your car, it might actually be a wiring problem, power, ground, or signal line to the sensor might be open or short. If you need one you can hit me up,

Oga, you and your mechanic did not diagnose before you start swapping out parts, have you checked for fuel, have you checked for spark have you checked for compression, have you checked if the nozzles are been actuated. Alot of things can disable your ignition system. Go and scan your vehicle and perform basic diagnostics before you start throwing parts, you problem might even be a blown out fuse sef.

I have been eyeing 325i I’m not sure of the model . Please Engliten me is bmw not so problematic , can I get 325 at that budget, tokunbo preferably. I need to know please , I am also have an eye on Lexus IS 250. I can’t buy Corolla a their price, I believe they are overpriced. Suggestions please .

BMW is a great machine, but as a first timer I'd advise you go for the Lexus. Coming from auto technician.

cyntobless:
Infact I can't say now ,once I put it in drive it ignition goes off

What's wrong with your car

Adetayomi:
why going this cheap?

OP if you wanna buy just but, don't ask unnecessary questions

If you are want to learn, I'd advise you go to YouTube and you should have money to buy the expensive equipment and tools, in a month to months you will be ready to start accepting jobs.

yomifowe:
Op, do you know you can be sued for this topic you chose for your thread. I was in that service he never said anything like that; never mentioned any country or location talk less of mentioning Lagos and Abuja. Furthermore in your write-up, you never mentioned any of such. Why do people like you enjoy spreading lies?

Pls warned, cos actions like this have grave consequences.

Shay you no get data to watch the video ni.

Aboguede:
Boy you don buy market

One chance purchase loading

Why must you always let people know your background, if you can't handle such you can always keep it to yourself not reflecting it on people. It's annoying.

OP, I know it's your money, but i they beg you don't let attractive looks of the car to you woo you. It's completely a bad idea to swap out the air suspension. It gives serious and acute migraine later on.

GAZZUZZ:
I have a new dream....

But boss GAZZUZZ it'll be nice if we actually still have a race track that we can drift with our bimmers not with go karts. Unless you intend to design and build go karts, which I'd be much interested in.

EgunMogaji2:
I have same dream but mine is for shifter karts not full size vehicles.

Do you intend to build the karts or buy them, if you gonna build it what kinda engine do you intend to use, that will give the feeling of sport??

nonhuman:
My location is umuahia

Wow, I'm in lagos, see other thread on car talk, you can get help there.

nonhuman:
I already scanned the car a nothing was found I saw the fan wire connected direct to the battery

Your car needs needs physical diagnosis, by a technician that understands and can work with live data. Where's your location.

tensazangetsu20:
Count your losses and move on except you want to fix the car yourself. If you want to do this, get an autel maxisys, all data repair manual, some tools and scanner danner engine performance diagnostics. Make sure both your electrician and mechanic are totally present while you guide them on what to do.

Or better still change your mechanic and rewire, they are chopping hot hot, or just count am and cut it away
