Just 3 months allocation for LGA. Chai, midnight prayers of the deputy paid off.

thanks my brother, let me hit the mechanic with autority once again

RyanAutomotive:
👋 Hey boss, thanks for describing that clearly — let’s go step-by-step so you don’t keep spending on trial and error.

🔍 1️⃣ The “Blowing Noise” During Acceleration

That whooshing or sucking sound like the air manifold isn’t fitted usually points to unmetered air leaks or exhaust leaks before the catalytic converter, even if everything “looks fine.”

Here’s what to double-check carefully:
• ✅ Throttle body gasket / intake boot: hidden cracks often sit under the hose folds.
• ✅ PCV hose and vacuum lines: these harden with age and leak unnoticed.
• ✅ Exhaust flex pipe or manifold gasket: if cracked, it’ll sound like air rushing out when you rev.
• ✅ Loose heat shield or resonator: can amplify air noise during throttle.

👉 Quick test: Spray a little carb cleaner or brake cleaner around the intake joints while the engine idles. If RPM rises or drops — that’s your leak.

⸻

⚙️ 2️⃣ A/C Conversion & Scanner Damage

Since you said you converted the A/C to manual, that’s a key clue.
Scanners burning means the OBD port’s 12V feed (Pin 16) may have been bridged or grounded during the dash wiring.

🔧 What to do next:
• Test the OBD port using a multimeter — Pin 16 must have +12V, Pins 4 & 5 are ground.
• Trace any extra wires linked to the manual A/C switch setup behind the dashboard.
• Isolate or correct any mixed power lines before plugging another scanner in.

That fault is electrical, not mechanical, so it needs a skilled auto electrician’s hand — not a mechanic’s.

⸻

🧰 Professional Summary

✅ The “air-blowing” sound = likely an intake or exhaust leak.
⚡ The “scanner burning” issue = wrong wiring or voltage backfeed from the A/C conversion.

Once those two are corrected, your Avalon will sound and behave normally again.

please i need help, my 2007 Avalon makes blowing noise while accelerating like the air intake manifold is not in the car, but there is nothing wrong with the air intake manifold, even the sensor was changed, also the filter was checked and it is not bad, but the sound is still there. please i don't know what else to do, also since i converted the air conditioning system to manual the car keeps burning scanners because i don't know if there was error while coupling my dashboard by the ac repairer

any sign of ibas salary?

Na so we all go resign for this government

Blackbishop:
Good day,
You will need proper checking to be sure before dropping more money.... That means the cause of the overheating is not solved yet.

But what else do you think might be the reason sir? There is no water mixed with in the oil now because before I changed the gasket water was mixed with the oil.

vivalavida:
Is there a thermostat in that car? If yes, are you sure it has not on bad?

There is no thermostat in the car

Morning all my Avalon 2gr engine started overheating out of my carelessness, I changed the top gasket and it was still overheating, I changed the water pump, same continued, now am in a crossroad of wheatger to buy a double radiator and change the single radiator it came with because am lost.

Still available

Am 100% sure the ruling party will not give him ticket for election next year, his desperation poses no trust and Jagaban no go like am.

Would be hard to stop but he should put effort

John Okafor, aka Mr Ibu's wife Stella Maris, has been at war with her stepsons and adopted daughter, Jasmine, over the millions donated for his treatment.


According to reports by actress Doris Ogala, Stella arrested Jasmine and Ibu's sons for taking N300m out of the money meant for his treatment.

Jasmine and her team are allegedly detained at Alagbon station, Lagos, and this comes after Mr Ibu;s wife called out Jasmine, alleging fraud and embezzlement.

Recall, that Jasmine refuted claims that she was trying to abscond with Mr Ibu's money.

I'm a careful driver. That car goes to ituku ozalla from Enugu on a daily basis.

Such a daily distant trip would cost you much petrol like 7k daily

mayorA:

Worst I would do is to lie to you , it have turned to weekend car oo, na V6 and fuel no be here because the car na horse, na my Kia Elentra I Dey use for my daily use.

kayusely70:
But why the secrecy?

So the Media would not prob the subsidy they paid

LudaChriz:
Total and indefinite strike is the way to go. We have a very insensitive govt in power. Over 4 months after pump price moved from 180 to 610, your workers are still receiving the same salary and you're asking them to be patient

After the presidents speech on Monday labour will backdown

MaksLove:
There's no way they would not have shared allocation by now.

You are right and sorry, it actually happened lastweek secretly

odeyiB:
You re right.. whether FAAC or no FAAC salary ll be paid before 1st of October. remember this is new dispensation thus. they wouldn't want any thing that would bring down their score cards or make people begin to have mixed feelings about their leadership
Moreover, credit worthiness ll come to play it's role here as banks(local and international), wealthy business men in diaspora and within,coporate entities, rich politicians and party supporters etc would be willing to give financial support so, that the name of the individual as well as the party wouldn't be rubbed on the mud

Just Dey play

kebosky:
I'm sure you have an android phone. Go to Google and search for faac august 2023. Instead of arguing blindly, why don't you research on the issue and see if something pops up

August is last month now not this month Oga

kayusely70:
Are you really sure it has been shared?[color=#006600][/color]

Don’t mind him, faac can’t be held in secret

Stvikanzy:
[right][/right]

Nothing of such happened

sam1980000:
I hope government realises workers should be paid their salaries before 1st October, independence day

E no sure for me as I Dey see this month oo

emekatex:
Good afternoon my honorable colleagues.
Any information about this month FAAC meeting?
