read and comprehend, I use live data to get a direction, not to trace, i mean what da fvck is wrong with you, your son cannot run to you saying daddy I lost it, daddy I lost it, then you start to run around the house looking for it. You must ask him first, what is it you lost? It shows that you believe scan tools are for pulling codes only, only quacks do that.

Well I'm not suprised you use live data to get direction, Now just to explain more to you how do you use live data to get direction on a car which won't start or are we going to use water too?

cocoduck:
yes, but you know what is called the stoichiometric ratio of car engines, and what is called the fuel trim, if you understand these two, then you are a real professional, look there are times when there is a leak but it is not enough to set a code, but clearly the engine is running rough, because the fuel trim has not gotten to the threshold where it will set a code, so what did yo do in such situations? Allow a rival to do the job? because you don't know what hell is going on, by no means, The ability to read and interpret live data is what sets a professional from a quack.
But bear in mind that vacuum leaks DON'T always set a DTC, sometimes it gives you an o2 sensor fault code, because the excess air make it read lean all the time. Sometimes it may be running rich, infact you should Google fuel trim to know better.
To detect a leak is easy when you have the right tools, ie a smoke machine, even water can be used in some instances.

I have read all you have said, I think you are learning as we go which is good,you have realized you cant detect a vacuum leak via a scanner that was what mayor2013 was trying to correct you on, and also you can never use WATER to detect a vacuum leak NEVER(How would you fill the vacuum line that goes into your throttle body with water?) if you insist where are you going to put the water? don't forget vacuum means no air.
From all the codes up there, all he has to start with is inspect teh Knock sensor, if found bad change it then he takes it from there,
Just as a point to note, your live DATA does not give you repairs suggestion rather a flow chat of how things are working.The only thing that suggest a fault is your OBD11 fault code stored i n your ECU interpreted via ur scanner.

cocoduck:
I am not saying that it is definitely a vacuum leak, knock sensor fault can happen, but the car consumes too much fuel, so, with my experience, I will first of all check if it's a vacuum leak, using the scan tool, it takes 10 seconds, if it's not a vacuum leak, I will get a definite direction, in chasing the problem instead of chasing my tail round and round.

Bro for real?scan to trace a vacuum leak
There are only two ways to trace a vacuum e leak.
1 fru physical inspection
2 the smoke test
Feel free to add more
Unless you do not know what your vacuum lines are and confusing it with something else.

cocoduck:
You don't know how trickish, this vacuum leak is, sometimes, it will be clear that the engine has a problem, but no codes, do you know why? For a clue, do you know what generic means?

Yes I do as a matter of fact I have been dealing with codes long enough. I am one of the early persons to have a scanner on NL.vacuum leak codes are the easiest to pick up
Reason the vacuum is presurised. It's quite easy to detect however to find where the leak is well that's another story

EgunMogaji:
Note to self, never give rides to coworkers in Nigeria.

Yes ooh.infact anybody. Just imagine good turn to bad. Y would the police put them in cell for what? ?

cocoduck:
Nope, I believe it's only a vacuum leak. This powertrain obd (engine management system) is generic. So one condition can set so many codes.

Vacum leak has a specific code. From the long list non says vacuum leak

mayor2013:
What has a knock sensor fault error got to do with a vacuum leak?

Yeh I think he should start with the knock sensor

mayor2013:
This car needs spiritual healing

I dey tell U.but at least I am glad for him his wires and brain box are working

kingreign:
What type of car is this? I mean the manufacturer name, model, year of manufacture, engine and drive type.

Also where is your location?

From some specific codes I see there it belongs to the Ford family. Op did say mecury

Sijo01:
A tanker fully loaded with diesel fell and spill it's content inside the drainage in Benin City. The incident occurred around 10am today, 6th May 2016 along Mission Road by Dawson Junction caused traffic gridlock as motorist were made to use one lane of the Road.

Residents of the area, passerby, and motorist rushed to the scene with their kegs, threw caution to the wind and take turn to enter the drainage to scoop diesel.

Photos after the cut

If E happen now dem go blame Jonathan.

Burger01:
You see! If I say Jonathan bastardized our economy via corruption some Nairaland dolts will call for my head. Fact is, Jonathan enabled and encouraged corruption in every government sector you can think of.

Just look at it! Dasuki gate is so massive and you wonder why Nigeria is still on her feet.

Here, we give kudos to the good people of Nigeria who voted out Jonathan and his thieving cronies.. Those found guilty of tthis Dasuki mess should be hanged. Gawd

Jonathan...NEVER AGAIN!

How do we nkw belive Dansuki realy admitted all those when they the FG refused to bring the said Dansuki to court so he can say dame so we all can hear instead of EFCC being his mouth piece

I like this.This is very proactive. Zero tolerance. No room for mistakes or story that touch.

Topiipii:
Tyres expire in 6 years from the date of manufacture, although I have read on several sites that it's 4 years in Nigeria. Whichever the case may be, you can calculate the expiry date based on the date of manufacture of the tyre.

The link below sheds more light on tyre expiry dates
http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/tires-expire-in-six-years/

ehehe, Nothing last for ever, however I do not see how you can use one tyre for up to 4 years without changing them.There is a thread gauge line in every tyre, when you go below that then you need change. depends on usage that can be just one year.

After scanning my mercury this evening I got the following codes and I wish I could get a better definition to them.

P0325
P0180
P0141
P1336
P0155
P0161
P0325

THAT'S WHAT I GOT SCANNING THE VEHICLE.
My Ogas in the house pls kindly help out pls. The car is over consuming my fuel

PO325 Knock Sensor Circuit Malfunction
P0180 - Fuel Temperature Sensor 'A' Circuit Malfunction
P0141 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 1 Sensor 2

P1336 - Crankshaft Position Or Camshaft Position Sensor Input Signal Error
P0155 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 1
P0161 - HO2S Heater Performance Bank 2 Sensor 2(- Faulty Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2
- Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 harness is open or shorted
- Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 2 circuit poor electrical connection
- Inappropriate fuel pressure
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Intake air leaks
- Exhaust gas leaks

The P0325 code means that the Knock Sensor is not working properly. Problems with the knock sensor will not cause an engine performance problems. Replacing the knock sensor usually takes care of the problem.

P0180 Description
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.

P1336 FORD - Crankshaft Position Or Camshaft Position Sensor Input Signal Error.The input signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor or the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is erratic.

Waoooow.... I have read various funny comments... Lolsssssss especially those judging the car with its picture. I read where someone say the car seems to have been parked for long... Very funny.. Lolsssssss

Anyway this is Internet and if not for the unavailability of the cars i would have forwarded the pics of both vehicles long time ago... Both vehicles are under use daily that's the reason.. Owner is a busy and corporate person. I have received good offers anyway... Seeing they say is believing how i wish you can come drive the vehicles yourself.

All these analysis for Internet no be am sef... I don tire... Lolsssssss

The vehicle goes to the lucky buyer anyway.... We are not Desperate to sell as in there are plenty items we are selling like i said owner is moving to AMERICA PERMANENTLY...... SO WE ARE NOT DESPERATE......

I know you was talking about me when you said teh car was parked yes if that pic you uploaded was of a car that moves daily then there are serious issues with the whole tittle of sales, unless you took that pic for a diff car or the car was parked for some time or day to accumulate these rust.
NB: One of the tell tell signs of an abandoned vehicle is its brake disc situation and valve positions, I am not hating ohh, I'm just stating facts, which very well might not apply in your case.

Nusaf:
There is nothing like trapping himself. It simply shows that he has nothing to hide

we will be here next year to check this your statement.
Kia opposition sweet chaaah

NLorubebe:
he didn't mention GEJ in anyway but trust 9ja news na

whats is the meaning of this statement
I Budgeted N200 Billion For Roads Unlike Jonathan’s Paltry N18 Billion – Buhari

Oga president election has ended stop campaign, hit the ground running plz.you are now not the opposition get used to it.

SleekAboki:
It shows they even lack confidence in the budget implementation. They are in for a shocker cos patriotic Nigerians would hold them accountable for 100% implementation.

Guy I Don dey wait for like 3 hours now make dem tell me what is needed for %100 implimentation of the budget no answer yet.I still dey wait

olokfor:
A Niger Delta Militant Group, the “Nigeria Delta Avengers” has issued a statement threatening to “take it to” Lagos and Abuja after bombing Chevron platforms in Warri, Delta state.

In a statement signed by one Col. Madoch Agninibo, the group threatened to carry out other attacks on oil installations outside the Niger Delta in Abuja and Lagos.

“At about 10:40pm on Wednesday the Niger Delta Avengers blew up the Chevron valve platform. This platform is the most significant platform for chevron because it’s the main connecting point where all other platforms link up and it’s a fulcrum to chevron BOP and the Chevron Tank farm. With the valve platform blown all chevron activities are now halted.

“This is what we promised the Nigeria Government that since they refuse to listen to us we are going to zero the economy of the country.

“As for zeroing the Nigeria economy we the Niger delta avengers is done with delta state major oil installations. Now we are taking the fight out of the creeks of the Niger Delta. We are taking it to Abuja and Lagos now.

“We want to pass this message to the all international oil companies operating in the Niger Delta that the Nigeria Military cant protect your facilities. They should talk to the federal government to meet our demands else more mishaps will befall their installations.

The group want President Buhari to hold a Sovereign National Conference for Nigerians to choose whether they still want to stay together.

The first budget in 16years with clear vision, goal and deliberation. Very purposeful and ambitious budget. Buhari has proven to be a true leader of vision and goal with the way he handled the budget. He left no stone unturn despite all d pressure and impatient among d people, he kept his cool. What a dogged focus leader!!!

What a meticulous leader? God bless PMB. God bless Nigeria.

What's in the Budget? Have you seen it yet? Plz let is know make we know how it take affect us.

Burger01:
Bruhs, sharp up na. Try understand the content before you comment. Haba wailers

Let me ask you something just incase lol.what do they need to impliment the budget %100?

SleekAboki:
Backdoor escape route just incase.....

They will soon deny they said this as well.budget less than a day dem dey deny already just in case.

yemmight:
This government is just telling you the truth. The budget that is meant for 12 months will just be implemented for 7 months and you expect full implementation? Haba. Check am now.

We know the time frame why remind us?why not enlighten us on the ones they could achieve?

tuale4u:
When did truth bcome scam?

When you sign into law things that you know you cannot achieve within the time frame in the name of apropriation bill

Keneking:
Saraki is next
Jonathan to follow
Tompolo to follow
Kanu is after Tompolo

Did you read the topic??

crixtex:
Thank God he finally did... money can flow now... and I hope things get better because if it doesn't then d man Buhari is a woe...

Hope all hands will be on deck now..

We shall hold you to that

sauceEEP:
The alloy wheels from the previous matrix pic is entirely different from the enlarged matrix pictures...? ? ?

That was captured on line and posted not real images.
He did the right thing after he got told off.

Siena:
[color=Blue]Depending on the material the discs are made of, they could corrode as early as just after a wash. This is just surface rust, that will scrub off after short drive.

Discs can corrode after the car has been stood for even a couple of days without being driven. It is normal. A car that has been stood for a month can also have clean discs, IF the material they are made of is corrosion resistant.

The car above has rusty front discs, but it's light surface rust, not deep, pitted rust that comes with an extended period of disuse.[/color]

Come on bro look at it enlarged there ain't even a scratch. Fine I agree it depends on the material but.but that rust is way diffrent from just few water days old.it's like a Weeke plus min. .U know you can wash the rims you can't wash the disc.Plus I am still waiting for the fotos of 2nd car. And the cost is u realistic..I'm watching still.

DONSMITH123:
“We must be patient and rational in our thinking for the inevitable change of the Buhari administration to come. It will surely come, but it is not a magic wand.”

1960 promise, believe this at your own detriment.

malton:
I agree with that.

Buhari's competence in areas where Jonathan was most incompetent proved him a compelling choice.

It's rather shallow of some people to think it as a gang up between the North and West. A lot wasn't going for the country at the time. It's only natural that discerning minds demand a change of course. It's normal that beneficiaries of the abyss be conservative. I'm only surprised that they've taken to horrendous acts to spite the people and government of the day after losing in a contested election.

Jonathan himself foresaw his impending loss and did everything in his power to bring it to a halt. Obviously, he was oblivious of the fact that the course of destiny can never be altered.

Like I said on another thread, Nigerians should rather be thankful for the change, were it not so, things could have been worse by now. Imagine experiencing such economic downturn coupled with pilfering, cronyism and rarefaction... that's some hell!

List two policies the PMB administration put in place while to warrant this aclaimed change. Just two I am waiting.if not I got a name to give

Check pictures

and 5 days later you still cannot post full pictures of both cars
