Please I need a professional help.
My Honda City 2004 model when cool will delay while engine is running for about 10mins when the gear is shifted to D (Drive). But engages immediately when put in R (Reverse).
Please what could be the possible cause?

Boss prepare to change tranny

Boss run a scan, but from your narration that is either your valve or your tranny is gone

Is this foul smell from the AC vent applicable in the camry 2013 & 2014?

Nope. It was corrected after that.

Car Overheating Issue
I have a 2006 Toyota Camry with an overheating issue that the owner can’t solve. It started overheating 3 days ago, He drove it home and he started hearing a weird noise under the hood and almost like the car was revving on its own. That day was the 1st day it overheated. Smoke coming from radiator reservoir and somewhere in the engine near the middle of the serpentine belt area. The next morning he turned it on, it turns on rough as hell and has a check engine light that reads P0300 and P0117. First thing he did was to replace that ECT sensor but not sure if it did anything because he followed an online forum process without understanding the intricacies of a car cooling system. That doesn’t solve his problem, still overheats. Next he drained the coolant and refilled it with new coolant but when he open the reservoir for the 1st time he notice that the cap has white wet sludge on it and the tank is covered with it too, he still went ahead and put on new coolant. Continues the overheating. He replaced the thermostat, bled it and topped it off with more coolant. This time around the car is leaking coolant from underneath. Starts to sound normal but when he goes for a drive it it still continues the overheat with smoke still coming from the reservoir. He has no clue what it is. Not sure if the fans are working. But thought it’s a bad water pump? But could it also could be a blown head gasket maybe?

SOLUTION

I was called to run a comprehensive diagnosis on the said car and those codes pop up, P0300 & P0117, with further investigation and from narration of the owner.

P0300 – Toyota Camry – Random Cylinder Misfire

P0117 – Toyota Camry – Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input

There are couple of other things that was checked and I move to start correcting each issue individually to eliminate issues of overheating. First off was the Multiple Cylinder misfire, checking the plugs and Coils was kind of faulty in the sense of the coil melting with the plugs partially. Then went ahead to check the nozzle which was ok but I perform a normal servicing.

The plugs and coils was replaced. Also the ECT sensor was replaced also and the radiator was just condemned due to multiple point of leakage. And it was replaced with a new one. From this point the car cooling system was bled and still went on to overheat it was at this point I concluded changing the Gasket to help both the owner and I from back and forth issues.

After the change of gasket the Oil Control valve too was replaced to eliminate the P0300 code. The car came up smoothly and the overheating issue was resolved totally

Run a scan and get back to me with the codes

You asked for opinion and I gave it sir.

Hello Nairaland,

Please help choose a car for a first timer if you have good information and experience on cars.

I am not a good authority on cars, so I FOUND it difficult to pick for the person.

He wants either Toyota Highlander 2008
Ford Edge 2010
Or Toyota Camry 2012.

But here are some of his conditions :

He wants a vehicle with ground clearance, a bit of class and at the same time with a good performance rating, less fuel consuming and an easy to maintain one.

His budget is maximum of 4M for (Tokunbo/Non accidental/clean title.).

He is also a new driver, meaning he has not driven before.

Thanks

The government should NOT sweep this case under the carpet! Aisha Yesufu and the other evil celebrities, whose actions led to the destruction of lives and property, must be brought to book. Nigerians are not happy. Allowing them to go scot-free might trigger a massive protest!

The blood of the innocent Nigerians killed during the EndSars insurrection cries for justice!
The blood of the innocent policemen gruesomely beheaded and cannibalized during the EndSars insurrection cries out to be avenged!
The widows of the patriotic policemen burnt alive during the EndSars insurrection cry for justice!
For peace to reign, their deaths must be avenged!...

Aisha Yesufu and her cohorts must pay dearly for all they've done!

Let's heal Nigeria.
Let justice prevail!

Where were you when SARS was killing innocent citizens?
Where were you when the police shot people because of 50 naira?
Where were you when police brutalized innocent hustlers?
Where were you during the APO killing?
And many I can't get to now, stop picking up phone to type rubbish.
Apart from common sense we all would agree you lack, what other sense are you lacking?

johnonuh:
My Camry doesn't fire normal in the morning I have to allow it to warm for a long while before I can fire it and even while firing it it still misfire, and sounds as if its shooting. I have change all the plugs still yet, i have also checked the airflow its ok. Please help a brother

There is something called OCV, check it or prolly run a scan which is likely to pop up multiple cylinder misfire code

davit:
Guys, which is the best way to handle steering while driving? Gazzuzz, radautoworks, Blackbishop, izzou your input will be helpful.

No 6 is my favourite and most comfortable position.

But 3 and 9 is the best position in case of emergency to take control.

Transmission

The tranny issues are quite time consuming and stressful until you have gotten to the root.

I have to work on a CRV tranny of recent and while diagnosing it came up with just one issue, it doesn't engage in reverse and on the scanner there was a shift malfunction error code.

The tranny was brought down and dismantle to change the fibre and the switches on the tranny and finally the reverse was working perfectly after the rewire went as far to check some wiring issues.

The easiest way with a tranny issues are with the Valve body for toyota and honda is quite complex with the valve on it.

The shift Malfunction deals with the two Solenoid or switches placed on the tranny *Image below*.

IkpuMmadu:
I also experienced it. I was told it is crank sensor ....

God bless you.

The crankshaft Position sensor is your problem change it and you will thank me

radautoworks:
I have been awol for a while and catching up. It amuses me when you guys consider the cost of an engine when purchasing cars. No one worries about that here because it's not often an engine gets changed. It's only in Nigeria I've seen engine become part of routinely changed part.

PROPER MAINTENANCE WITH RIGHT FLUIDS AND YOU SHOULD REALLY GET 250-400K MILES OUT OF YOUR ENGINE DEPENDING ON THE BRAND. Even with conventional oil. We don't all put synthetic in cars overseas. Nigerians are always changing engine because of penny wise pound foolish mentality.

There only things to consider when buying a car for me are purpose of use, reliability, gas consumption, and comfort for purpose of use. I guarantee if you buy a car, let me do the initial inspection and routine maintenance, you will get 300k or more out of your engine and transmission no shaking. In about 30 years I have only had to change an engine once and that was because of bad oil. Also in 30 years the only major repair I have had is changing an ac compressor once and two oxygen sensor once. I have never changed anything else on a car except for brake pads. I tire for Nigerians.

Now you are right, the mentality or the unfortunate circumstances in Nigeria here is that, the multitude of car owner are bunch of professor by mouth, idiot by nature.

Imagine analysing the purpose of a thermostat to a man that claim to be ajala travel and the big guy was telling me, it is only useful outside the country a big man as claimed for that matter. Or telling a senior banker that the tyre pressure sticker on the door of his camry was meant to be followed and can you guess his reply? That will be too low let the tyre Technician gas 50PSI. I was perplexed and flabbergasted.
A medical doctor once had a bad engine and he called me to check after all was done, I asked this man to buy OCV and the car will be ok? This dude went and give it to another mech who went as far as bringing down the engine based on say the mech toast am say na to resurface the face of the cylinder, at the end mama na another engine solve d matter oooo

So madam some time the mentality a mech don give dem when Beetle was still reigning was the same mentality they are stuck with.

So how do you think they won't buy engine and the driving pattern of some big sissy claiming Jame Bond is another issue of how long you want your engine to last

See that guy with honda problem see how much resources nd time he had spent before you gave him the solution, so imagine if he did not know about nairaland existence it mite have taken him 1year or him selling the car off. So now imagine if it was one hybrid
