Happy New Year fellas!!!

Need help please. My car hardstarts in the mornings. I changed the kickstarter, then it got worse: it began to hardstart everytime you start the car.

Then i changed the cold start switch. It didn't get any better: it would hardstart at random and behave normal at random.

Then i changed the fuel pump and filter, then it went back to the origin problem: hardstating only in the mornings.

Car has been scanned. No faults relating to this. Something else i know already: gear mount.

Please i need help

The car?
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DoctorG: 7:28pm On Sep 21, 2020
Gazzuzz, Radautos and all the auto doctors, I greet you all.

I complained earlier about constant jerking of my car when accelerating and shifting gears, and a recent rough idling which has gotten really worse. Its not only when idling now, when driving, the engine can be felt vibrating like it's having a seizure. Then it calms down again.

I had to go scan it this morning. Here are the findings, please advise. Thanks.

Car TalkRe: Car Talk Chat Room by DoctorG: 10:17am On Sep 21, 2020
I have been managing the car since then cos I was tired of earning money and spending it on the car.

However, this morning I took it for a scan. Here are the results.

So I asked the scan man if he knew any good mechanic. He now called one Kazeem, who checked the car and the scan findings and said the worn-out engine seat is the reason for all the malfunctions.

I find that hard to believe. Please, advise.



lyort:
you shift your gear to neutral and the car begins to go backward, kazeem's work is now beginning to manifest. most times it tells that the transmission gearbox has been replaced at some point with with a gearbox that its gear range is different from the actual gearbox of the car, or the selector cable was not set to a degree of accuracy when it was bolted to range sensor.



if it is the former and you have a gear position display on your dash, this shouldnt happen. but if it does then the best thing to do is to manage the situation by carefully shifting your gear stick each time you shift gears and observe changes in engine sound and revs per minute(rpm). if you engage neutral, engine revs higher and if you shift to drive or reverse, revs drops immediately.

but if its the latter, very simple, just get a mechanic and let them adjust the range sensor. its the sensor that has your gear selector cable bolted to it. they'll unscrew two 10 or 12mm bolts fastening it to the gearbox, put the car to neutral and rotate the range sensor either forward or backward until gear responds normal when stick is being shifted across all gears.

Thanks for this.

A new one just happened. My car moved in neutral! What's the problem here, please!! I placed it in neutral when I got to my work gate, only for the car to be reversing on its own...

Secondly, about the rough idling thing, does it have any connection with a leaky exhaust? I know my exhaust has a bad port, I've been managing that for now.

lyort:
mind you, brainbox is the last thing to get damaged in any toyota, the simplicity of their electricals don't give room for such. most times mechanics dont trace wires from individual sockets up to the brainbox before they conclude that it is the brainbox that is bad. if you experience rough idle, check if you have blue smoke from the exhaust at higher rpm. if you notice a jerk (otherwise called limp) when your transmission shifts to a higher gear, its a gearbox problem and this usually happens when shifting from gear 1 to 2. if you experience poor acceleration, then your fuel supply into the engine ain't good enough...it means the injector is delivering fuel only enough for idling at a constant speed

oluwaseunla:
It's better you request for the scan result whenever your vehicle is scanned. Can you retrieve the codes from the person that scanned the car?
Thanks for your response.

I guess that was my mistake. I was tired of it all and felt what will the scan device show that has not been changed already. And when he said the brain box is not sending signals to the solenoids, I said may be that's true.

I didn't get the codes. I will try to see how I can retrieve them.

The brain box was changed on Friday...

Hello Gazzuzz and other auto chiefs in the house. PLEASE, HELP ME OUTTA THIS SITUATION.

I bought a fairly-used Toyota Corolla 2006 model in June. Had no issues whatsoever until mid-July, I noticed my car jerks when accelerating. After a few days, I noticed it jerked when shifting gears. My mechanic has changed ATF, serviced the transmission, changed fuel pump, services fuel injectors, nozzles, cleaned everything cleanable...No change.

I decided to leave it be and ignore the jerks until a new one started - rough idling. The engine vibrates for a few seconds when idle and sometimes when accelerating. I went back to him and told him the jerks were also still there. A scan was placed there, the scanning guy said the brain box wasn't in order, he requested I change the brain box. Did that on Friday at Ladipo, drove down to my house at Agbado, engine still trembles while idle but jerks seemed to stop.

Just drove my car this evening and all the jerks have started again...

Please help!!! I've spent so much and tired of these mechanics.
