Then why are you always harping on Gabon? I don't miss Nigeria, not at all.

sdkalu:
You are right sir, i charge my battery every 3 days. But my mechanic recommended i buy new battery and new alternator which i did last week, my engine is better now but he said i need to change my bulbs, he said 1k for 2.

Now i want to know will repairing my car ac have a negative effects on my car engine and also the best bulbs i can use.

Though i don't know if florescent bulbs will run down my battery. What do you recommend?

I appreciate your support sir.

No, it won't.
For the bulbs, follow your mechanic.

erico2k2:
Guy you too small 4 me to talk parables with,you be learner 4 where I dey, you would be at least 14 years my junior judging from your 2006 WAEC.
We know empty drums sound louder,much louder.In all good luck with the cheap food and stable Electricity in GABON,you sure need it.

Are you jealous? You can't even write good English. Age is just a number.

erico2k2:
I have watched the videos even b4 you put them on here,I responded by saying only the 1st guy was a pro the rest are back garden Autoist. U can tell from where they are working. U Aving SSCE at 2006 puts it in perspective. I now know your frame of mind however you got a long way to go.When people don't agree with what you say do NOT result to insults,u never know whom U might meet,I have seen U argue and insult a US trained Mechanic who came bck to Nigeria to set up.Now this guy is a master in what he does. Im nt going to name him but it was not nice. At 2006 I already had a 2nd degree in mechanical engineering. .so wen I make refrence it would be from an Engineer's point of view not a mechanic so I might not be specific. Now you are talking about Cameras that's %50 of what I use at work.I'm doing research on the ANPR cameras also the Night Vision googles. I have learnt this is useful in Nigeria. etc.There are bunch of people on here who are highly skilled. Some in Nigeria some abroad ie GAZZUZ. seina etc just to mention a few. But name callings and insults won't get you far young man.

our Lord Jesus said, you must remove the rafter in your eye before trying to extract the straw in your fellow's eye, remove the rafter so that you will be able to see clearly when extracting the straw in your fellow man's eye. When you are doing to somebody a waka sign with your open palms, the back of your fist is telling you waka also. Think about it.

please give us a list of aftermarket accessories you installed in the car

Op the fuse you threw away, did it show any sign of heat, or did the plastic cover melt or appear like something that was thrown into fire? Please reply

GAZZUZZ:
check more, that will distort charging, not blow a fuse.

100% right

erico2k2:
Realy. So you are a technician in Gabon. Ahaha and you are boasting about it eight? How about technicians in the USA wot did U want them to say

the videos I asked you to watch, do the makers live on mars?
BTW what has it to do with country? the same cars everywhere,
Here, if I need anything I other for it directly from Dubai or Sharja, I am planning to buy a thermal camera which is a good tool for automotive technicians, I saw one American technician using it on YouTube.
Paul Danner is my mentor and he is an
American, I bought and studied his book, I ask him questions and he replies via email.
So what exactly is your problem with my location? I left that God forsaken country called Niggar area in 2006 in frustration after SSCE and I never regretted it,
Quel est donc votre souci avec ma domicile?

erico2k2:
Guy no vex it's like that Gabon sun don hammer you .it was not me who said spiritual problems check again

ohhh is it there you are going? here things are cool, constant electricity and pipe borne water, cheap food and safety. Okay you are not mechanic, I am an automotive technician, I have nothing to to prove to you.

GAZZUZZ:
very easy, replace the engine.

hahahaha

GAZZUZZ:
very easy, replace the engine.

hahahaha

erico2k2:
The thing tire me.I don't even sell parts.I dnt know how I was going to get rich by op buying parts.

then proffer solutions not telling him his car needs an exorcist or spiritual healing, is it not where it all started? And I am waiting for you, and your swaptronics

Siena:
[color=Blue]You haven't made yourself clear.

You could at least describe the sound, where it seems to be coming from, if it occurs in all gears etc. No one here is a Sangoma or Genie with a crystal ball.[/color]

Oga mi good to hear from you again ooo

c767314922:
There is a bad sound when my customers accelerate my customers KIA Rio 1300 Engine?

is it like a squeal? or something like quueeeeeeee sound? if yes then there is a belt that has gone bad

kingreign:
I may not be serious, but I've spoken the truth about who you truly are. And anyone who has eyes/ears would easily spot your inadequacies.

PS: At every slight opportunity I get, I'd keep giving you hard knocks

hahahahahahahahahahaha you are very funny. Proffer solutions to the op
not take it to MrA or B
I pity u fools

mayor2013:
Change your ipdm (intelligence power distribution module) aka fuse box if you need a peace of mind. The excess touching it has received made it slacked. Let a much more experienced person get the job done. Seems from your explanation the contacts are not made well reason for the difficult start

come on Mr know all this is a Toyota not a Nissan, BTW it is intelligent not intelligence

Op Fuses that are continually blowing is not the fault of the fuses, there is a short to ground some where along that particular circuit, your rewire if capable should trace that Short circuit, if not, go yo another person, this is where the ECT2000 comes in to play but its an expensive tool.

mayor2013:
I still would say you lack simple understanding of English, how? I have not requested for a youtube video. My man you are truly from Gabon

that link is not for 1di0ts like you

mayor2013:
I still would love to know how a scan tool can be used to detect a vacuum leak. You still have made any valid point on this. All I see is fuel trim which makes your comprehension of English language a suicidal one

I said I use the live data check if the computer is reacting to a vacuum leak, if yes, then I trace the source of the leak using various methods, ie smoke machine, water, propane, brake cleaner etc, if no i move to something else, Fuel Trim data is part and parcel of live data. If the fuel trim is high (more than 10%) then step on the gas pedal and see an improvment of the fuel trim then trust me its a vacuum leak, if it gets worse then it is another thing ie bad MAF or fuel supply related, it take less than 10 secs to know if the computer is reacting to a vacuum leak, so it does not eat your diagnostic time, it does not demand any much work from you, am i clear now? I recommend it because it works and it is very easy. You don't need to sacrifice a cow. It is not by force, you don't spend a common dime it.

OP watch these videos please

kingreign:
Keep ranting like a typical ewu Gambia/Liberia I know you are. I still repeat you know nothing about car diagnosis and repairs. Keep exposing your half baked knowledge for all to see.

I still repeat, anyone adhering to your advice does this at his/her own peril.

You are not serious

mayor2013:
Myopic thinking up there. God help your type of human

ouch I hit you were it hurts, you want to fleece him of his hard earned money, it's not gonna work.

I never said the the knock sensor does not go bad, but in this case you should prioritize, and do it in a step by step way, so please tell me what is arrogant about this, I hate parts changers, honestly.
If they see an 02 code all they say is bla bla bla you new a new oxygen sensor, you end spending money needlessly in this hard times, I hope you understand my argument.

princemillla:
Thank you all for your advice appreciate

Your car had multiple codes, and that 1diot said your car needs spiritual healing or something, then I said no, I believe the problems is a vacuum leak, then both he and his 1diotic friends went berserk, don't listen to them, what I understand is the these may be parts dealers, and they want you to buy parts from them, even without testing if it's really the part that is bad or another thing that the ECU it reacting to so throwing codes, that sometimes may throw you off if you are not careful, then I said if it were me who is diagnosing your car I will check for vacuum leaks first, using to scan tool, the computer is programmed in a way that it reacts in a certain way in a given situation, so if you know what you are doing or how it works you can easily know what is going wrong, or what the computer is reacting to, it takes just a few seconds , if you find nothing there you move to another thing, then they just hanged their throaght on knock sensor, forgetting that you said you car was consumming too much fuel,
You see, I would ask, why is this car guzzling fuel like this? okay here is a list of things that can cause it.
Vacuum leak (for me easiest to check)
leaky injectors
bad MAF
Then check these three, if nothing then I am missing something, and what can that be? Then I go into research
but they want you to go and buy and make. them rich, and I am an obstacle to it then they turn on me.

erico2k2:
AHA I remember you,The internet mechanic from Gabon,Internet Mechanic, well done,I forgot you are full of insults, this is how you embarrassed yourself arguing with GAZZUZ,arguing about speed sensor
You calling me quack when I am not even a Mechanic,
You nor dey tire

ohhh
so I was pouring water on stone, sorry ohhh I know my onions

erico2k2:
Why are yoy twisting stuff
U claimed yoy can find a vacum leak with a scanner. I said you can never do that. FACT.
Non of the two last clips posted are pro they are just Autoist no garage will employ those crude methods they will use a smoke machine in the first instance to trace all the lines.
The first video was establishing that there is a vacum leak bit his method can never detect where it was.
So YOUR POINT IS??

get away you, 1diotic quack,
do you even know who these guys are?
You are not even fit to tie their shoe laces.
back yard shade tree mechanic like you.

erico2k2:
In most cases with sensors. They are usually not the fault same as fuses. .They are there primarily to give readings. I get that however I am tuning to the frequency where and how a vac leak will troger a knock sensor code.
But you changed the wires to the knock sensor right? Is that not one of the reason it will throw a code??

The OP said that his car consumes too much fuel, then Scanned it and got some codes, so for you the best thing is to change the knock sensor, for me I first of all find out why it is consuming such amount of fuel, which is done using the live data the scan tool provides, I will first test for the vacuum leak, if it is not a vacuum leak then I will test to see if the injectors are leaky and cannot hold pressure, and some other things, the knock sensor case is later, I do it step by step read and let it sink into your stone brain.

mayor2013:
Can you emphasise more on how a scanner is used to detect a vacuum leak. I am opened to learning

watch those videos I provided.

Rubbish
Buy an Autel maxidas ds708
or Autel maxisys,
or snap on versus
or OTC encore
launch diagun is also good
these are dealer level scan tools that can sac and diagnose almost any car in the market, almost all the systems in the car can also be diagnosed, ie ABS, Power train, SRS, and almost all the modules in the car. If you buy the autel maxidas ds70 you should also add an oscilloscope, while snap on versus come with an oscilloscope built in.

MPVGoddess:
Now that you mention Knock sensor, not all knock sensor codes come from a faulty knock sensor.

I thought I had a faulty knock sensor, and so got a new one, still the codes would come back so I traced the wiring to the ECU and discovered that they were shot, so I can new wires to the knock sensor and the one I had in the car still worked, so I didn't have to use the new, point is, I recall that his vehicle was recently worked on, and several wiring gremlins appeared, so please rule out faulty wiring before getting a new knock sensor

thank you my brother, the bottom line is don't rush to buy the part simply because is has a code, you know when a person who doesn't want to learn is arguing with you sometimes you forget what you want to say, because of the marveling at their ignorance

kingreign:
true that, but the way this cocoduckfowl cocoduck guy is going, he may actually pour large gulps of water inside the line. Thats why i gave a warning.

did you watch the video?

I still dey wait ohhh
