Hello house, Please I need help.

My RX350 horn stopped working unless the sterling is turned. So I contacted my electrician, he said is the horn turn, so when I Voight a new horn turn and it was changed, the "AFS off" light ostarts showing on my dashboard and the automatic head light icon blibking too. It was not there before. He said we have to change the angle sensor. But I don't believe him, since he moved the car without the sensor wen I went to buy the horn turn. Now everything is working perfectly please how do I make this "AFS off" light go off without buying a new angle sensor .

How do I order from you for my engine oil?

Hello and thank you for sharing your concern regarding your 2005 Lexus ES330. We’ve carefully reviewed the trouble codes you posted, as well as the symptom of the slight jerk you noticed. Here’s a structured analysis and professional guidance:

⸻

Technical Breakdown (Diagnostic Insight)

1️⃣ P0303 – Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
• Likely Causes: Faulty spark plug, ignition coil, or fuel injector specific to cylinder 3. Possible compression or internal engine issues if the components are healthy.
• Symptoms: Engine jerk, rough idling, slight loss of power, uneven acceleration.
• Professional Fix Steps: Inspect and, if required, replace spark plug and ignition coil for cylinder 3. Test the fuel injector for proper spray pattern and operation. Conduct a compression test if misfire persists.

2️⃣ P0420 & P0430 – Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Banks 1 & 2)
• Likely Causes: Aging or partially clogged catalytic converters. Often secondary to persistent cylinder misfires causing unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust.
• Symptoms: Check engine light, reduced fuel efficiency, possible unusual exhaust odor.
• Professional Fix Steps: Inspect catalytic converters and test downstream O2 sensors. Replace converters only if efficiency is below threshold after upstream engine issues are resolved.

3️⃣ P2238 & P2241 – O2 Sensor Positive Current Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 & 2, Sensor 1)
• Likely Causes: Faulty upstream O2 sensors, wiring harness damage, or ECM signal issues.
• Symptoms: Poor fuel mixture, jerking, emission errors, reduced engine efficiency.
• Professional Fix Steps: Test upstream O2 sensors’ voltage and current output. Inspect wiring for corrosion or damage. Replace faulty sensors as required.

⚙️ Ryan Automotive Workshop Professional Take

In our experience with ES330 models (2003–2006), a single cylinder misfire, such as the P0303 you are seeing, frequently triggers multiple O2 sensor and catalytic efficiency codes. Attempting catalytic converter replacement or O2 sensor repair before addressing the root misfire often leads to unnecessary costs.

Our recommended approach:
1. Diagnose and resolve the cylinder 3 misfire first.
2. Retest O2 sensors and catalytic efficiency.
3. Proceed with component replacements only if diagnostics confirm failure.

This sequential method ensures precision, reduces unnecessary expenses, and restores smooth engine performance.

To ensure your ES330 runs safely and efficiently, we strongly advise bringing your vehicle to Ryan Automotive Limited. Our technicians will provide:
• Accurate diagnosis of the misfire and sensor issues

I need help house, what’s wrong with my car?

emmatony:
Thank you very much. The property is located in Keffi, Nasarawa State. I built the twin two-bedroom flat apartment at a total cost of ₦22 million, including the land, which I originally bought for ₦750,000. Currently, land in that area is valued at around ₦5 million. The annual rental value is between ₦600,000 and ₦600,000 for both flats combined. The house is still brand new—no one has moved in yet. My proposed selling price for the property is ₦30 million.

If the cost of building the property is 22 million and proposed selling price is 30 million that is about 40% Instant profilt yield let me say within 2 years that it took you to complete the house. Say no more, sell the house, acquire more land and try and flip it like you just did in the house, then inevstlike 15 million in Mutual fund then the other 15 million in acquire additional 3 lands do proper documentation and sell then off within the next 2 years. Your focus should be the returns and security of any investment whether is house or mutual funds.

You might have routed your evap lines wrongly. Find another 2010 rx and look at the evap line routing, especially the lines around the intake. Before changing your purge valve, test it so you don't spend unnecessarily.
BTW, I hope by reserve, you don't mean when the fuel refill amber light comes on, cause if so, keep money aside to be replacing fuel pump. .....Oops, you have already replaced one, many many more to go if you continue like this

Once your tank passes one line below half tank, it is due for a refill, I have never purchased fuel pump after I learnt the truth about driving near empty tank. No gains, only pains, cause you will still fill up the tank

Yes after the E where the fuel yellow light comes on. I don know anything about the evap line routing. If you can please explain better for me so i can show the technician that would help me fix it.

Please, suggest me the best country to travel to for a 2 weeks vacation to relax with my wife and <2 years old daughter between March and April. Budget 4,000 USD

kingreign:
Was your fuel pump removed or worked on? You should also check the fuel filler cap and replace that.

Your Evap purge valve is in the engine bay, you should replace it.

Yes my mechanic removed my fuel pump. Please what should I do again?

Please I have this codes in my RX350 2010, please what do I need to do, as it triggers the check engine light once my fuel is on reserve.

My RX350 check engine light comes on whenever the fuel is on reserve. And when I scan I get this code P0441. When I clear the code, it wouldn't come on again until the fuel is on reserve again.

Please what should I do?

nurez305:
Are you laughing out loud 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ath is almost here 😂😂

I am laughing oh, but not yet loud. Nearly cannot kill a bird. I need ATH, and hoping it comes soon

oluwaseunla:
Likely a bad alternator then.

Thank you. So what's best? Change the alternator to a used or fix the alternative by technicians. This is the options I am giving.

oluwaseunla:
Your technician could be right. Is the battery light on when the car is running? They can run a test on the charging system to pin point what the issue may be.

Yes the battery light is on when the car is running.

Please house I need help, After washing my car in a car wash today, RX350 2010.
it refuse to start. I have to change the battery and it started, then I put my own battery, then after driving for some while the battery sign and electric steering sign came up and the car went off, I have to put it another battery and drove for like 1 minute but the battery sign remains on. After some while, the battery sign and steering sign came up again and the car went off. Now the technician is saying that is the alternator is bad, that is not charring the battery very well. That I have to replace the alternator. Please what could be the problem?

nurez305:
Haaa, now I understand 😂😂😂. You just want to break even and move 🤣🤣🤣

Relax, it will come very soon

Thank you for the hope

First open a bank account for them. Some banks have account for minors.

I will suggest you use two investment windows
Money Market and stocks.

Open a money market account and pick reinvest interest option.

Also Open a stock account and buy fundamentally sound and regular dividend paying stocks also reinvest the dividend back to the stock, with this you are sure of value while they grow.

To open MMF for minor, you will need the form method.

To open stock account click the 3rd link on my signature and pick kiddies as investment type and stockbroking as the product.

You can reach out to me if you need further guidance

Thank you, I will reach out to you with the number on your profile

nickae:
Banks have kid's account to serve this purpose.
You can check firstbank's kidsfirst.

Alright, I will check with firstbank for this.

Neurotika:
I’ll suggest investing in USD-based mutual funds to at least reduce currency risk over that long period, especially if maximizing returns isn't the main goal. Establish a target savings amount, and calculate how much you'll need to contribute on a quarterly or annual basis. When the children reach the appropriate age, you can liquidate the investments. Some funds provide probate services to handle any unforeseen issues if you're no longer around by that time…you may want to consider their offerings in that regard too.

Alright, do you suggest any company I should check with. Is stanbic asset management good for this purpose?

Harddiskng:
How old are they now. Money market is not bad but If their 18 years of age is far away (10 years from now), I would advise you do 100% stocks on their behalf. Or you split between MM and Stocks based on your risk appetite.

Just got one that is 1 year now, others are still on their way by Gods grace. How do I invest in stocks for them?

Please ,I know this is unrelated to this thread but I have seen that people here have good financial knowledge, I want an account I can open in trust for my children, where it could accumulate just like mutual fund and their can access the money when their are 18. Please any suggestion?

Preator:
Share the interesting rate nw...

21% but I am trying to see if anyone have invested with them before I do.

Just saw the Access Bank Mutual fund option on my app and the rate is interesting, please doesn't any one know about this Access bank Mutual fund. I want to invest.

Odunharry:
Name on Utility bill shouldnt be an issue. If the address on utility bill and the address you gave them is same , then you should be fine.

Alternatively, if your bank statement carries your current address, kindly present it.

Some companies even accept a valid means of id/Rental receipt that carries your address as proof of residence/address.

I sent my rent reciept and my account have been regularized and redemption successful. Thanks everyone for their effort.

t33why:
You can always get your updated statement from your bank app (even signed and stamped from the app for gtbank) but with address different, you might need some other means. How about your NIN slip?

My NIN slip was done many years ago, with different address. I recently opened the Mutual fund account with my current address. Even my Stanbic IBTC account have a different address since is old.

t33why:
Use your bank statement, signed and stamped

My bank statement is old, is my old address that is there. So Cantley change the address to the new one?

Odunharry:
You can contact them on redemption of your funds .

I contacted them, and they are saying the name on the Nepa bill I used as proof of address is not mine. And is a rented apartment.

ogeodi:
Please, how many days does it take to redeem funds? It's my first time, and I filled out the redemption form and submitted it on Monday afternoon.

Omo is the same with me oh. I filled our form since Monday morning for redemption but until now nothing.

Please, how do I contact Stanbic MMF customer service. Is urgent, anyone with there email or phone number should help me.
