Morning Cold Start
I had a Pontiac Vibe 2005 with a complain of delay cranking early in the morning and consumes so much fuel. I had it brought down to the workshop and run some diagnosis, which fails to point to anything within the car.

From experience and more dialogue with the owner who after thorough investigation on his part decided to change the fuel Regulator and fuel filter which the picture will be added at the end of this write up.

SOLUTION

I remove the Cold Start Switch which is known as Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor ECT for onboard testing and then proceed to remove the Fuel Pump casing which after removal was discovered that the filter was filled with dirt and the fuel regulator too was removed and replaced with a new part.

Even though we have to wait till the next day for a result. Which came back positive at the end. As at now the car comes to live at the first crank

TFeminist:
please, does padded mean 'new'?

No ma, but refurbished

opeoyek:
Not really, the brake and ABS goes on and off, when it is on, the speedometer stops working and the ac starts emitting hot air

Try run a scan and post the code. Cuz when you instrument cluster start to Malfunction then your ABS module is getting faulty.

Multiple Fuel Related Issues

I got a Camry 2007 with a complain of starting in a sluggish manner, consume more gas, multiple cylinder misfire and jerks when moving.

I scanned and came up with some codes;

P0172 – System Too Rich Bank 1

P0101 - Mass or Volume Air Flow A Circiut Range/Performance

P0113 – Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit High

P0352, P0353, P0354 – Ignition Coil B,C,D all Circuit issues and P0302 – Cylinder 2 Misfire.

After the Diagnosis we move to corrective measures

SOLUTIONS

First thing I did was to check the Coils and Plugs, after I moved down to the Injector and remove all the noozle which are bad and not spraying sequentially.

After that I remove the MAF sensor and Intake Air Temperature Sensor which are together in this case, apply MAF cleaner and was put back.

Then for the system too rich I have to change the Oxygen Sensor Upstream.

After all was done the car is back to normal.

Rhazybee:
I have a Toyota Camry 2007, my remove isn't locking or unlocking it and this makes it not to start. it brings the light on in the dashboard but it won't even roll not to talk of starting. I've changed the battery like three times but the problem still the same. please help me. I live in ibadan. 07033501980

One possible solution is to get a programmer your car security disable the car

Can you list up the codes generated? Please

Joy83:
@Blackbishop, please what does this sign mean and how do I get rid of it on my car. The car is corolla.

Thank you!

Sorry for getting back late, I have been busy with work stuff.

How to Pick your car Oil
I had the uphill task on educating most car users on the variance and thoughtfulness they need to put into the oil they feed the cars, they drive for optimal performance. The task of picking the right engine oil for a vehicle becomes quite challenging given the huge number of options available in the market. To make the task all the more difficult there is a ton of information available all around. However, the easiest and very first step is to check the owner’s manual. Every vehicle comes with an owner manual that contains all the necessary specifications for choosing the right engine oil. Besides, it specifies the suitable oil weight like 10W-30 or other variations. Here the number describes oil viscosity that is appropriate for the vehicle.

Then in some cars they don’t come with manuals, like used cars or some sorts, the oil specific are labelled on the dio stick or oil cover.

Boss in the house, I need to understand the myth behind this. I decided no to drive cos of traffic today, I entered korope bus from Agege to Ojodu Berger, sat directly behind the driver, I heard a conversation from a guy behind me asking a mechanic/someone who has knowledge on auto, that his tokunbo car just arrive that he took it to a mechanic for servicing change of engine and transmission oil, brake pads and the likes that the mechanic advised him to remove thermostat and run fan direct and the person the guy was calling said yes, I was shaking my head in a pity but what do I know. I want to know the myth that surround this cos I no gree my mechanic to comot the thermostart in the tokunbo engine I bought as na wetin I see here I follow but why do mechanics advise that?

In short form as possible, the engine has a certain temperature its suppose to run which is controlled or aided by the thermostat and ECT functioning optimally when they are rendered useless by your mechanic the brain box senses that and send info to the the engine to pump more fuel for it to attain the maximum temperature and it goes on and on when the engine is working at 200% to attain the temp. Which at a long run damage the engine.

Pls brothers, what is d cost of Hyundai county 2009 engine

Actually have no idea.

champol:
Please help me with solution to my Hyundai sonata 2004 car. I gave my car to a mechanic to do service and maintenance but my car doesn't start again. Before I gave him, If the car doesn't start, I used to touch the fuse box because if I enter pot holes, it will make the fuse to lose contact. If this is done, the car will start normal. I discussed this with the mechanic. The mechanic said the fuel pump components including the fuel filter is bad and he changed it. He also said that he changed all the plugs. He has been battling with my car for about 2 weeks now. Please assist. Thanks

When it comes to fuse box I will ask you to get a rewire a trusted one for that to check the wires going into the fuse box, prolly one is making partial contact. I hope and pray it has not affected the brain box

pharod:
I'm having this reoccurring problem with my civic. Anytime I put on the AC, after a few minutes, the car will stop while in motion. If I switch off the AC, the car will continue moving without stopping. The alternator won't be charging the battery like it should. I've changed 3 alternators in the past 5months. I bought a new battery around June last year, I'm about to buy a new one again. I've changed the fuel pump. I've done basically everything the mechanic said I should do, but the problem still persists...

1. If I put on the AC, the car will stop after like 20 - 30mins
2. Something is killing the alternator and the subsequently, the battery.

Cc, GAZZUZZ, Radautoworks, blackbishop, dru23

Boss from this narration, I will explain some stuff, when you put on the AC your engine works harder to produce more power. Pulley system that is your compressor and alternator works harder.

So here is how it works your AC, if it is manual which is likely uses a magnetic process so when the process is sticky or lock up, your engine works harder and the serpentine belt that was suppose to run your vehicle works the other way round.

Solution - Get a rewire to run diagnosis on your car alternator when the AC is working, the voltage should be between 12 to 13 volts. Start from there.
Since you have change all other components I can also point to.
But you will likely change the compressor and some other stuff relating to it.

Going after innocent, armless herdsmen because of politics...

Imagine...

You demonize the whole of herdsmen and chase them from their business places they they've been staying for years!!

Using thugs to threaten and sometimes murder their members all because of power tussle!!

We all know that we have criminals among fulanis... But what is actually happening right now in the west is a political game.

That's why I didn't rush to comment on this issue for days now...

Anyway... Our eyes are wide open!!

Let them enjoy their moment for now!!

Simple but short. You are Fool

GAZZUZZ:
Zero car info and you conclude?


It might possibly be more when inspected

Like I said he should go for 2nd opinion, even though he gave his car detail will I diagnose remotely.

FuckEveryday:
See me wahala o, so my car started blowing dry air this morning as I dey go buy something,(it blew it's usual mortuary standard last night) I just branched my mechanic, he called the AC man in his work center, AC man do him check, said I'll change evaporator, change condenser, change hose and some other gilbrish, back me 135k bill.

Tho this is my first car and I don't know so much about cars, I feel it's outrageous and those things he mentioned are not all bad. Abeg who has a reliable and trustworthy AC guy lemme go there

PS: The heat part of the AC is still working perfectly, don't know if that counts sha

Baba don't mind the guy, na just to get a second opinion matters

P0010: “A” Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
The air intake valve and exhaust valve must be opened and closed at precisely the right times. The variable valve timing system is responsible for managing these two valves. When they’re opened and closed properly, it will enhance the engine performance and fuel economy of the vehicle.

The powertrain control module uses variable valve timing control valves to adjust the camshaft. When the powertrain control module tries to adjust the timing of Bank 1 Intake Camshaft, and an electrical problem is detected in the valve or the circuit leading to the valve, then trouble code P0010 is activated.

The symptoms of trouble code P0010 will include a

reduced fuel economy,

rough engine idling,

engine knocking sound,

Check Engine warning light coming on,

increased RPM,

and weak engine performance.

All these symptoms have a moderate level of severity, so you should take them seriously. After all, do you really want to drive around with poor fuel economy and weak engine power?

Some of the causes of trouble code P0010 may include

damaged wiring,

bad camshaft position sensor,

bad crankshaft position sensor,

engine oil sludge,

bad variable valve timing control solenoid valves,

and engine timing operations are off.

You won’t know the exact cause of the problem until you have a professional mechanic inspect your vehicle personally.

A lot of amateur mechanics make the mistake of misdiagnosing the problem by thinking they need to replace the actuator. Sometimes it helps to clean debris off the actuator first because that may solve the problem immediately. If it does not, then inspect the electrical circuit to see if that’s the problem.

You can get away with driving your vehicle while trouble code P0010 remains present. Just expect to stop at the gas station more frequently because your engine will consume more fuel and produce less power. You may also have increased emissions, which means you won’t pass an emissions test.

Therefore, why tolerate all these problems when you can simply have a mechanic replace whichever component is causing them. It will be cheaper in the long run if you resolve the problem sooner rather than later.

Comprehensive maintenance is cheaper and far better than a corrective measures

harmyd007:
The ect sensor (cold start) was replaced, turns out it wasn’t the issue, i would try the crankshaft position sensor too, thank you soo much
Someone said it could be the fuel pump

Scan too let me have the code

harmyd007:
Hello ! Please i need help,
I have a 2005, toyota corolla
In the morning when i attempt to start the car, it doesn’t start up, it kicks then goes off
But when i attempt the second time, the car comes up

I have changed the plug
Serviced the injector and nozzle
Serviced the fuel pump and filter too
Yet it’s the same

The car only comes up on the second kick
And this happens in the morning only

2 things are involved, 1. Crankshaft Position Sensor.
2. ECT Sensor

somehow:
You mean the smell is in every Camry 2012?

I can't give you a definite answer cuz not all customer will complain not nor all will come back with the defect

Car Stuttering


Car stuttering/Juddering is an acceleration problem and is usually the result of insufficient fuel, air, or spark during the combustion process.

An example is a Toyota Corolla I was called to diagnose, matching the gas pedal to the floor will not get the RPM more than 2000RPM. After running scan the Ignition Coil A was the code that came up, i replace the coil and plugs the car still won’t accelerate.

At this point I have to remove the nozzle and Throttle body to perform servicing also the fuel pump, in the process I discover some coil cables were loose and causing a spark that was so tiny to notice, that was when i went into action to correct most of the wiring issues and service the parts that were removed earlier and after fixing the car came back to live and was even better now when driving.

Worn-out spark plugs or the electrical cables attached to them are one of the most common causes of cars stuttering. A deficient spark plug causes the engine to misfire, making your car jerk when you accelerate.

Also the plugs and coil are one major player in car Stuttering. Always check and replace if you see any issue.

The engine may also be much noisier than it normally is, sounding more like an aeroplane taking off than a car.

Another Reason

A clogged catalytic converter is another reason why a car jerks while accelerating, as a blockage can disrupt the exhaust system’s airflow.

When you press down on the accelerator pedal, you may notice a delay in your car’s response, followed by a sudden jerk or lurch forward. There may also be a rotten egg smell.
