Chief Gazuzz come ooo

Please, Chief come ooo Abeg.

Hello folks,

My Mazda Premacy 2001 model has a problem. The idling is very unsteady. It goes high and low, and when I step on the clutch, the engine goes very low and most times shuts off. It also vibrates terribly when I'm not in motion or the car us idle. So in order to keep the engine running, I'll have to constantly pump the throttle. Btw, it's a manual transmission.

For over a week, I've been to about two different mechanic workshops. In the process, they've replaced the fuel pump, cleaned the fuel filter, cleaned the fuel tank, cleaned and serviced the fuel nozzles, replaced the plugs and the coils, replaced the airflow meter, reset and tightened the manifold in case air was leaking from there. All to no avail. I've spent over 20k trying to correct this problem and it has been very inconvenient for me taking public transports to my destinations.

So my dear nairalanders and engineers in the house, please advise me on what to do. I've tried everything I can but it's like my village people have sworn I won't drive home this December with my car.

Thanks.

It's like this comment came out of ur ass.

So typical...

Drop your own opinion like a civilized human.

naughtyDiana:
stop being a housewife and get the mess ooutta here. the first two years blah blah blah. next time think well before you talk, ode.

LOL. I was actually laughing when I was reading your first comment. You reminded me of market women that chatter and clatter like chickens at the slightest provocation.

Better change o. It's not a good quality in a woman.

glossy6:
a working mum Nko?

My point is, if there's the slightest opportunity that you can take care of your child by yourself at least for the 1st one year, grab it. She stands to gain so much than in crèche.

Bomgirl:
Congratulations on taking care of your child. But please, what do you expect a working woman to do? Carry the child to work??
One moment, we want women to contribute financially to the wellbeing of the home, next moment, we are bringing down women who go out of their way to work!
Do you think if given a chance, women won't want to stay with their babies??

I understand your point. Like I said, if you're super busy...
Some parents can actually do it, but they still choose crèche. No one can take care of your child like yourself.

naughtyDiana:
shut that dirty pit you call a mouth!!! idio.t woman. that's what women like to do...make other feel incapable. so because she takes the child to a crèche means she isnt bonding with her child? housewife like you,

Typical Nigerian woman...you can never state a different opinion without insults and name-calling. It's my opinion, dear. It's OK to differ, but very uncivilized to insult others.

What's creche? I don't know why parents would even consider that...unless they're super busy. The first 2yrs of a child's life is very important. It's the time you bond with your growing child and teach her the basics of life.

I patiently took care of my girl till 2yrs of age before I enrolled her in prenursery 1. She learned a lot, and basically surpasses most of her mates in class.

I've written on a 'How-to-do-it' book for children. I need an artist who can illustrate the various step-by-step activities contained in the book.

I'd prefer graphic or digital art. Thanks.

8 Types Of Nigerian Girls - A Must Read For Every Single And Searching Nigerian Guy


There are 8 types of Nigerian girls.

1. Buha-Rihana
This type of girl may be in her late thirties but claim 21 years old. Fear such girl because she could be close to manopause and may not be capable of bearing fruit. When you see a girl you like make sure you see her original birth certificate before you propose to her. If posible, locate the hospital she was born and confirm.

2. Laimuhame-Diana
Such a girl can lie for Africa. She lies about herself, dad, mum and everything. Even when the truth is obvious, she lies. Everything about them is fake. Beware of such girls my son.

3. Fayo-Celine
They like show. Going about taking selfies is their hobby. It is such girls that go to shoprite to buy just one apple and end up taking selfies which they upload on facebook with the title 'Dubai shopping things'

4. Abubakarshe-Karishika
These ones are violent. They can use assorted weapons ranging from bottles, pestle, acid, knife and even gun. When they are mistakingly married into any family, they bring confusion and enemity into the family. When you encounter such girls, my son, run as fast as your leg can take you.

5. Benbru-Cecilia
Such girls are good pretenders. They do like people who don't shit or mess. Don't let any girl deceive you my son.

6. Amae-Chinasa
This type of girl after finishing a guy's money will dump him and move to the next available rich dude. It is hard to identify such girls but I pray such girls don't come your way.

7. Tinu-Bukky
You can't eat their money and go free. This type of girl after lavishing her money on you would want you to reward her with marriage. If you fail to marry her, she can fight you with the highest juju. Before you allow a girl to spend huge amount of money on you, be sure of her motive. If she is after marriage and you know deep inside you that you won't marry her, do not accept her money biko.

8. Osinba-Joy
They are God-fearing and are good wife materials. They are not controled by materialism. Always faithful. My son, if you want to live long, search for such girl and marry.

I wish you success in your search for a good wife. Bye bye".

As the first and only son of a very large extended family. I was mandated to either marry a lawyer or read law at school.

I chose the latter, and married my love.

peacettw:
We as a nation are now immune to human suffering. You really shouldn't blame anyone cos you dont know their situation as well.

It's so unfortunate. Maybe you're right. Maybe they had problems bigger than a one-month old baby in pain and under the scorching heat. No mind people, dear. I've just learnt today to take whatever I see from them, but to keep being myself.

[quote author=byvan03 post=55595600][/quote]Thank you, bro.
I guess this experience has also toughened my skin.

byvan03:
I had a similar experience at the ATM. My boy vomitted multiple times right there yet no one batted an eye lid. Forget people, don't expect them to be kind because you are kind. No be today I know the darkness for human heart, so I no let am worry me. They were more interested in dishing unsolicited advice .

Imagine that! There is indeed so much darkness in the human heart. But I think I've learnt not to expect kindness but to keep being kind.

Thank you.

greatgod2012:
You're welcome my brother!

I don't know about you but as for me, whenever I do any kind of good to anyone, be it extending my hands towards the needy or through words of encouragement, or any other way, there's this radiance of joy within me........that alone is enough for me! And I believe that's how it is with most people, so, anyone who has the ability to render help but refuses, will obviously miss the joy!

So, stop expecting too much from humans, just assume that anyone in position to help you when you need his/her help but refuses, is the one losing, not you! God who is the rewarder of everything will definitely reward your acts of goodness!

Never let the actions or inactions of others affect or weigh you down!

KEEP BEING GOOD!

Power-filled words! Thanks, dear. I shall KEEP BEING GOOD!

QueenSuccubus:



Sorry but some humans are juz heartless..

It's really disheartening.

DozieInc:
Some people are just wicked

Yes. Plain wicked and inconsiderate.

Acidosis:
The truth is that Nigerians lie a lot. Another truth is that nobody really believed your challenge. Sorry about the condition of your baby. However, you should understand better especially since you've been in the country for a while (I presume).

There is hardly any bus stop in Lagos or ATM you wont see one or two persons begging and asking for help. Some will even tell you that they've not eaten since 2005.

The end result of a lying population is what affected you and your family today. You wouldn't want to know the number of kids that have fought and abused that old man over this ATM queue.

Personally, I don't blame them. If they had allowed you, at least 20 other persons will immediately show up with concentrated lies. Someone might just show up to say he died last night, and he needs to make a quick withdrawal so he can go back to the mortuary and also have some cash to pay the angel at the gate of Heaven.

Sorry bro, but if we all stop lying and also stop taking advantage of people, we just might have a sane and compassionate society. I wish your baby a quick and complete recovery.

Thank you, bro. Was LOL on some of your comments. But you're right indeed. Lies and deceits are the norms of today's society. But I believe that people should still endeavor to ascertain who is lying and who really needs help. It's not always justifiable to treat Mr.B as a liar, because Mr.A has deceived you before. Our society will only deteriorate more if we generalize everyone as bad because of a previous experiences.

Thanks for the recovery wishes to my baby. I appreciate.

greatgod2012:
If you want to stop being good because you're somehow disappointed with human inhumanity to humans, then, what do you want God to do with us, despite His being constantly and continuously good to us, what and how do we humans appreciate Him?



When you do good, have it in mind that your being good is not for or because of anyone but because you are who you are, also, don't expect anyone to be good to you just because you're good to some others.

God is the rewarder of all acts of goodness, be it publicly or privately! Never expect reward of any form from anyone! Never allow another person's inhumanity take away your own humanity!


Regards to your baby!

Thanks a lot, greatgod. You know sometimes as humans, when you're used to showing kindness to people most of the time, you feel you also deserve same. I guess I was expecting too much.

All the same, thanks for your encouragement.

Monogamy:
That is the reality about life. You will see all those same people on Sunday at Church/Mosque. Only God knows who is Serving him with a Good Heart

It's really unbelievable. The problem is that churches these days no longer teach kindness and love, but personal wealth and prosperity. Every other thing doesn't matter. It's bad.

I feel so disappointed in humans that I may not be helping people anytime soon.

I and my wife took our one month old baby to the hospital to treat him of a huge boil growing in his scalp. Had to spend like 4 hrs waiting for the doctor and my last cash in the hospital. The baby cried so much as the doctor drained the boil. It was heartbreaking.

On our way back, I went to the ATM and waited on the longest queue I've ever seen. My wife and baby were waiting for me under the scorching heat. When it got to my turn after about 45 mins, the ATM suddenly was"unable to dispense cash".

There was another machine just beside mine, with its own queue. And they saw what happened. I had to beg them to permit me withdraw some cash. They refused. Even after telling them that I had a sick baby with me and the mother that had endured the heat waiting for me at the back, they refused. An older man whom I thought would be sympathetic with me even told me to go and beg my age-mates, not elders.

Nobody pitied my condition. I had to leave angry and disappointed, consoled my wife and crying baby, and we went home.

I know that everybody have their problems, but it's unfair not to consider people whose problems are bigger than yours. I usually lend a helping hand to those who need my help, but right now I think there's no more gain in doing good.

I didn't watch the BB show, but I found it funny that people are so into it that they'd actually bet such amount for a show.

timifakay:
City driving consumes more fuel than highway because of more frequent braking...
Under normal circumstances, the time it will be worth it to leave car running is if it won't take more than 2 minutes or there about to start engine again.

I think you have a point. I should stop turning the engine off every now and then. I was only observing the opinions from car websites that advise not to leave the engine idling for even up to a minute. They say it saves more fuel to turn it off any moment you're not throttling. But the opposite seems to be the case for me.

emy77:
With my Hyundai Tucson 06, I do 180km Highway with 15litres of fuel. Mark you that's with Ac all through, and it's a 2.0litre engine in a 4wd SUV.

Your primacy should not be more than 1.6litre engine, it should not use more than 7 or 8 litres on a 90km journey, with ac. Which is what my car will do. So you need to check yr car properly

Wow!! 180km with 15litres?? I think that's good efficiency.
My car isn't up to a 2.0litre engine, ain't an SUV and I don't even use AC. I guess I really should check it out.

J0hnTrevolt:
exactly wat my avalon does. The fuel goes down so well wen I on n off ignition. Infact I save fuel by leaving the ignition running cos there will be drastic reduction if I turn off d ignition n turn on again.
Tho its bn scanned and faulty 02sensor is responsible but money neva dey to change am

And I guess the 02 sensor thing will be costly to replace. It's a serious issue. I guess I should be leaving my ignition on as well to save fuel.

timifakay:
Have you gone for a scan and what was the result if yes?
What's your drive pattern, average speed, top speed and the likes, the more you accelerate and the brake sharply the more fuel you will consume...

Thank you sir, for your reply.

I've not gone for a scan yet.
But my average speed is 70km/h; Top speed 100km/h.
While driving in the city, I feel it consumes more.
By the way, I notice a sharp drop in fuel especially when I turn off and on the car more frequently. Is that normal?

Correspondence:
This thread na only two man show?

I wonder o. As if there are only two men that own cars in Nairaland.

Well, since you're here let's make it a three-some.

Back in the days when we used the 'Exit Card', I mistakenly urinated on it. The teacher flogged and sent me out of the class.

Coolgent:
No one can tell except after scanning your vehicle, u can order bluetooth scanner for about 5k either from konga or jumia

Alright, I'll try and go for a scan when I find the time.

Thank you sir for your time.

Coolgent:
Your Car shoulnt hv consume morethan 11ltrs.
Is check engine light illuminated?

Yes sir. I noticed the engine light is on. It has been illuminated for some time now, and I've not had the time to check.

Do you have any idea what it might indicate?
