Car TalkRe: The Might Of Fuel Economy I Don't Understand by EngRichie: 6:50am On Aug 12, 2019
Your observation could be correct. If your intake and exhaust were previously out of tune, the new leak might just have contributed positively to the tune especially if you have a restrictive catalytic converter in there.
There are a lot that I could explain here but time would not permit me.

Car TalkRe: How Do I Solve This 2009 Corolla Issue? by EngRichie: 6:23pm On Aug 07, 2019
Your technician tried to isolate coils by disconnecting in turns, that's why you have those open cct codes. Clear all codes, run car, rescan and post results here.

If you are certain that every other suspension parts are okay, adjust camber through the three bolts on top of the shock absorber, in the engine bay.

Telecommunications engineering.
I am an electronics hobbyist too with interest in Robotics. I have keen interest in digital signal processing, am already having masters classes on that though I have studied it before.
Also, if you check my profile, I am an automobile maintenance person. I will love the application of all these in Automobiles (AI, Computer vision, Bus systems and so on).

Car TalkRe: Mazda5 2006 Stalls When Slowing Down by EngRichie:
If the engine just goes off and car doesn't stall, check throttle body (cleaning and maybe scanning), crankshaft sensor (scanning and testing with known good sensor), camshaft sensor (scanning and testing with known good sensor) before proceeding to other possible causes.

If the car stalls (stops completely), check transmission, especially torque converter lockup circuit.


Regards.
Car TalkRe: My Car Needs Help Please by EngRichie:
Was top gasket burnt and replaced? If it was, maybe it wasn't done properly. If it was not touched, it's an item of suspicion.

Get to the root of the problem, resolve it and explore solution in the link below to clean up the cooling system.


Plan well, if fixing the current engine will cost much, patiently get a tokumbo engine.

Regards.

Car TalkRe: My Fuel Tank Vomits Fuel While Filling by EngRichie: 8:41am On May 31, 2019
It's blockage. No vent for the tank anymore. Check the valve in between the tank and charcoal canister. Just maybe, some vent hose in the tank have been tampered with I.e wrongly connected.
Car TalkRe: How To Clean Cooling System That Is Contaminated With Oil by EngRichie(op): 7:46am On May 29, 2019
Agreed actually. A fix cannot cover every possible situation. It is a DIY tip that works and in some extreme situations, the engine, Radiator, hoses, seals, transmission could be affected already.

I like your inputs and Infact I will update the blog that in some situations, other systems could be affected already.

Thanks Lexusgs430 and Nurey.

nurey:
It's true

case study Nissan Pathfinder 05 to 08 model year without radiator bypass. Once deed is done

1. radiator is replaced with upgraded radiator design.

2. Depending on extent of damage, transmission would take a severe beating and changing or rebuilding components.

3. fir the engine low compression due to foreign fluid (not always true). Open engine do a thorough wash, replace gasket and external seals of the cooling system couple back.

Hahaha... Funny man! Not true though.

The moment river Niger don enter river Benue, just buy a better replacement engine............
Car TalkHow To Clean Cooling System That Is Contaminated With Oil by EngRichie(op):
The cooling system can be contaminated with oil as a result of engine oil or transmission oil mixing with the coolant. Getting rid of oil from the cooling system is not a easy task and it requires a lot of patience.

The causes are:
- faulty engine oil cooler
- faulty transmission oil cooler
- Bad head gasket
- Cracked cylinder head
- Human error.

What if one's blog content is all about tips? I feels tips are mostly bullet points and not as long as explanations and don't need images many times.

What's the update on this car?

donlucabrazi:
Chai, Bros.....Mine field ke? ���

It was just a clean engine swap.

Your technical summary makes it sound like a death sentence, Lol. People convert engines all the time, and they work just fine. I understand your scepticism all the same being that you did not physically inspect the vehicle. but trust me, it's not as complicated as you make it sound.

In any case, I appreciate your concern and contribution. I'm still waiting for the connect you promised....Help a brother pls!

Car TalkRe: Honda Wohala by EngRichie: 10:13am On May 14, 2019
Nice DIY. I doubt that you will get your desired result anyway. It's a good attempt.

Originonikeh:
I had scanned it at 3 diff places
The scan read evap..red
02 sensor..red
Low coolant engine.
Catalyst failed..red
So its basically the 02 sensor bros
I have checked everywhr.since scaner said catalyat threshold 1 i knew it was the 02 sensor. I will unplug the sensor and soak inaide fuel for 6hrs. Wud run the scan tmrw to check if thw threshold 1 has been corrected and faint check engine light off.
Car TalkRe: Honda Wohala by EngRichie: 4:34am On May 14, 2019
You need a computer diagnosis. The tech needs to study fuel trim and O2 sensor and some other sensors data to pin the problem.
