TRYGO:
I have never heard of those ECU (brain box) terminologies before.

Y don't you just get the original Brainbox, and program it to the car? Saves you a lot!

Car came to the shop without a fried ECU. So, how cone now, a brain box was fried, and has to be replaced? Sounds .....

Exactly my thoughts. I'm suspecting the 'rewire' bridged some wires to test current flow when the engine was stalling, either to test the injectors, coil or fuel pump. That is the crude and reckless move that often fries ECUs.

I go with the advice to install a security system. The nuisance of the horn blaring when the car is vibrated will deter them.

This is either just a stunt or the passengers are morons for consenting to this.

solosolo111, sorry your mechanic/rewire has made you spend way more than necessary to repair your car. I don't have any experience with replacing mazda brainbox so I don't know the difference between sensor and open brain boxes.

However, whatever replacement brainbox the new mechanic is getting, make sure it is plug and play. No work-work or cutting and joining of wires anywhere should be tolerated.

It is always better as much as possible to stick with factory configurations if you want your car to work optimally and reliably.

Hello. Are you saying this product makes the glass unbreakable?

Please reread the article and edit your comment accordingly. Thanks

You don't understand the article at all. Take a deep breath & read it all over again

I misunderstood the article. Thanks.

Bros, you can't even hail the person that called you? Na wa o.

It looks like an N80,000 car, doesn't it?

His effort is commended but the whole contraption looks hideous.

[s]This is plain silly. The weight of the logo is inconsequential to the horses in the monstrous engine. I think the company is hiding the real reason for the recall, perhaps its too embarrassing or disappointing[/s]

Modified: This is a step in the right direction. Labels should supply users the right information.

I was way off in my previous line of thought. Maybe the OP edited the post.

Help me out to stop fuel consumption of my honda halla. The car move well but can't cope with the rate of consumption. Rewire can't locate the fault.

Carburetor or Injector?

And the video

I didn't notice a video was posted. My previous comment was inaccurate.

solosolo111:
From the VIN check it actually shows 2012 version to my amazement. Its only one of the plugs that is always soaked and the mechanic says its oil seal that is leaking and I left the car with him for the office. By the time I came back he showed me a little thick round rubber that he had changed from the distributor cap assembly. He said he traced the "unusual noise" to the timing belt and got it resolved, he never told me what he did. Am going to get another mechanic to do a thorough check of the oil seal and timing belt.

Thanks alot for digging deep.

You are welcome.

Please keep us posted on the repair process.

solosolo111:
Yes they say its oil seal, but he changed a seal in the plug wire "distribution box". I don't know if he replaced the right seal.
Can the oil seal be located at the "distribution box"? Or has he replaced the valve seal instead of oil seal?

Please don't mind my lame terms.

Its a 2012 Mazda 626.

From the picture you uploaded, your car can't be a 2012 model. I'm thinking 1994 - 1996.

There is a seal on the distributor cap assembly but I don't think that can cause the spark plugs to get wet. From your initial complaint, I think your mechanic has replaced your valve stem seals but he has somehow messed with the ignition timing assuming all vacuum lines and wires have been thoroughly checked.

What exactly did the mechanic do to the "unusual noise" he detected?

I believe the valve stem seal was replaced due to the plug being soaked. OP, come and clarify.

That said, is there an OBD port on a car of that year? I'm not sure the OP can enjoy the benefit of a scan.

Engine ignition timing has been messed up. Have a qualified mechanic check & reset it.

More persons have been invited for interview. Seems they didn't get the required number from those who were earlier shortlisted for interview. May God help us.

Wow

dafeyankee:
Thank God Jehovah.

Thank God say it no affect the most important part of a man, the PE.Nis.

All other injuries can be managed.

Yeah... By all means save the manhood but neglect a properly functioning body system.

It's not likely the car will be able to cope in chaotic places such as oshodi but it will work in other areas that are well organized.
