RomanceRe: Guys In The House, Do You Regret Getting Married by Etoo: 7:50am On Jun 12, 2020
U nailed it. That sums it up. Thanks bro.
Boss13:
When you have no proper knowledge about marriage and women, you will definitely regret your marriage. What I have noticed in marriage, men do not live for themselves anymore, they live for their wives and kids. I am not saying this is bad, but I have come to realised that you can never please a woman 100% - NEVER. Men must understand women are manipulative and controlling. If you lose that control, you will regret your marriage. Also, once you wife knows you have no control over her, she will run wild, blame you for it, divorce, or leave you.

Women do not love unconditionally. They love for peculiar reasons or conditions. When those conditions are absent, she will become a throng on your flesh. A woman will fall in line when her husband is strong and masculine. Lastly, if your woman says she is a feminist - don't marry her. You do not want a woman struggling for control in your marriage. There can ONLY be one captain and that should be you.

Men must understand this. A woman is with you because of what you can offer/provide or the potential ability of what you can offer/provide. Don't get stupid with the "I love you" nonsense you hear.

Don't they have old boys association? They should come to their rescue. Everything must not be government. We know APC has failed us, but what has those that passed through the four walls of that institution contributed to the growth of that school. Are we to assume that the old students are also failures.

U really hit the hammer on the nail head. Absolutely true.

True....


Girls from poor homes often live with high expectations. They have a believe that their body is what they can offer and they will often act like they've given so much from their body... They don't have courtesy attitude....

I had similar problem with mine. The solution is to change the instrument cluster completely!. I mean change the whole speedometer unit, a complete one cost like 8k tokunbo.
Thank you
Car TalkOdometer And Speedometer Stops Showing At High Temperature Weather On Camry 98 by Etoo(op): 11:17am On Aug 17, 2018
Good day all. My toyota camry 98 model car just started acting up. At cool temperature everything works fine but in hot weather, the odometer and speedometer stop working with error code p0500.
I have changed the Vehicle speed sensor but the problem persist after parking under the sun for like 2 to 3 hrs.
Please, has anyone had this kind of problem and the possible solution? From my little knowledge, i think it has to do with thermal expansion.
A solution or idea would be highly appreciated.

Downstream o2 sensor is a monitoring sensor not having anything to do with your suppose black smoke .
Is the upstream sensor that we are concerned with.Disconnect the Upstream sensor and immediately rev your car to to See if u are still getting black smoke ,very simple thing to do .This is not an issue of monitoring this for days ,u will see the result immediately.
Seems u are too like Kazeem system of swapping parts to resolve issue
I did that earlier but that did not solve the issue. The black smoke was even Increased on doing that.

I thought this is the first thing I told u to check before u decided to start swaping MAF and prefer to complicate a simple procedure .
Yesterday i changed the downstream oxygen sensor. The black smoke has reduced but im still monitoring the change. I hope it solves it permanently. I will keep u updated. Thank you all for ur help so far.

Well you should check them as one of your codes refers to them
Today i rescanned the car after clearing the former code and got the following ;
P0171
P0174
P0136
My mechanic has checked for leakages, even removed out the manifold but there is no leakage. I ve changed the MAF SENSOR
THE BLACK SMOKE LINGERS ON ACCELERATION.

Can faulty O2 sensor cause the black smoke.

did you say you changed teh O2 sensors?
No, the o2 sensors were not touched
Car TalkRe: Black Exhaust Smoke In Rx300 by Etoo(op): 8:14pm On Jul 04, 2016
erico2k2:
Ok cool
After clearing the error and running more than 50km, there were only 2 codes p0171 and p0174. My mechanic checked for leaks but found none, changed a MAF sensor but the codes keep on throwing out. Any more idea.

That has nothing to do with your black smoke, its your Engine coolant temperature sensor,it needs changing, does your themometer in your car read accurate?
I asked youa question from b4 regarding your speedometer you never gave an answer
Im sorry my guy. The speedometer reads very fine. I ve cleared the code. Im using the car till i get up to 100km before i will rescan d car.

Could be it's same as your O2 sensor problem
Problem is ur car consumes way . much fuel. So check everything intake in your carpoint ur mechanic to this direction. Clean your Mass air flow sensor. Check for leaks. The O2 sensor should the third culprit. From your scan you there seems to be no serious problem except your pocket via fuel.
Im sorry for the typo error, the no 9 says P0115. What could that be. Can it also contribute on the black smoke thing.

PO100 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Malfunction

Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit.

PO500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction, I take it your speedometer is not working right?I had same problem got the speed sensor changed and speedometer started to work.

PO136 Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2).Hmm this has been covered enough on this section of NL I think its the last thing you check


P1155 TOYOTA - Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction Bank 2 Sensor 1,Toyota specific code
Thanks man. What of no. 9 thats P0155. Can that code also be the cause of the black smoke.

I know more about Rx300.what i will surgest you do first is to ran a scan then get back to us.
Thank you all for the suggestions. I really appreciate how helpful everyone has been. I ran the scan today and so many codes were found viz;
1. P0300
2. P0301
3. P0303
4. P0305
5. P0171
6. P0174
7. P0100
8. P0110
9. P0115
10. P0136
11. P0500
12. P1155
13. P0101

Im really scared on where to start on these issues. I will appreciate if any suggestions on how I will start repairing is offered to me on this thread so that i will relate it to my mechanic. Its a shame, most mechanic at Onitsha are still outdated. I really thank God for the advices i got from this thread so far. Any idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Honmusa. At the moment, I'm monitoring the performance of the car. The black smoke is reducing. If its not clear before Saturday, I will remove the sensor as u advised. I have also learnt how to disconnect the O2 sensor. Thanks man for all ur advice so far.

I have said it before ,what you have is likely a input issue.If you are feeding wrong input data into your engine controller computer definitely you will have an alter air/fuel stoic ratio which can be in form of black smoke or lean running engine.
If you lack the skillset to run a live stream on your powertrain ,use the procedure of elimination by removing all your sensors one by one and checking against the black smoke coming out of your exhaust until you find the culprit responsible for it.
Leave your ecu and injector alone ,concentrate on the sensors first .But if you insist on Kazeem system of throwing parts to to resolve issue ,I am readily available to supply you a many ecu as you want .
@honmusa, my mechanic has started the elimination method today. He replaced the MAF sensor and advised that i drive the car till Saturday ( since i drive only from home to office and vice versa) for the smoke to clear.
As im waiting for that, I needed the gurus in the house to inform me whether the effect of d change is supposed to be immediate or gradual. Thanks

I will be checking about the sludge tomorrow. But can oil sludge cause black smoke in the exhaust?
Hi, I just finished from the mechanic, its not an oil sludge. The electrician said since no engine light is showing, there is no need for the diagnostics. The black smoke still comes out on higher acceleration and the fuel is highly affected.

I dont know whether the injector can be the culprit. A mechanic was telling of 2 sensors near the injector that possible could be causing it. Is there any other possibility I could check pending when the check-engine light surfaces?
