Car Talk / Re: Advice Needed For A Sienna: 2gr Engine Or 3mz Engine by franklin93(m): 7:01pm On Dec 06, 2023 |
Actually, I don't know much about the fuel economy of the 3MZ and 2GR on a sienna. A lot of factors come into play here. If the sienna is powered by a 2GR on AWD system, it will likely take more fuel. Note that the fuel economy of these engines is dependent on the cars the engines are used in. I have a 2004 Lexus ES330 with the 3MZ engine and I can confidently tell you it is more fuel efficient than a Toyota camry big daddy (04) with a 2AZ 4 cylinder engine and a Honda EOD 4 cylinder I once owned. I cannot complain when it comes to the fuel efficiency of the 3MZ. 1 Like |

Honda is cheaper to maintain more so, it is more fuel efficient. Thanks to the 5 speed automatic gearbox as against the corolla traditional 4 speed automatic gearbox. Remember, both engine has a displacement of 1.8Litre. Handling: Honda wins Power: Honda wins Styling: Honda wins Fuel economy: Honda wins Realiability: Its a draw. Resale value: Toyota wins format9798: 5 Likes |
Car Talk / Re: Problem: My Reverse Gear Gives A Scary Jerk With A Sound. by franklin93(m): 10:02pm On Jan 04, 2020 |
Valvebody needs to be checked. More so, your transmission oil pressure switch need to be checked & replace if need be. Biggest culprit is the gearbox sensor attached to the body of the gearbox. Sometimes they have 6 bolts or more. |

I don't know much about Mitsubishi but if your mechanic said that then it means you have an interference engine. However, I think your engine can be rebuilt. All you need is to buy new timing belt, grind the bent valves or buy new ones & also inspect your pistons; if they have been torn apart you can replace them if the parts are available & lastly u get a new head gasket & your car should be fine. It happens to a lot of vehicles like WV, peugeot, kia, hyundai, mazda & other models & they don't need to buy am engine. On the average fixing it should cost you less than 30k all depends on how much you your belt cost & nature of damage as well hoping your pistons is torn apart mumayo: 1 Like |

That issue is peculiar to the Honda accords & Honda CRV manufactured between 1999 & 2007 simply because their ball joint were poorly designed & couldn't withstand excessive wear & tear. More so, it can be avoided if the driver paid enough attention to them. The ball joint aren't expensive. Sold for about 1500 naira each & could last you for a year once changed depending on your driving habit & the kind of road you drive the car on. Later models from 2008 till date don't have that issue anymore including the Honda Accord, Honda City, Honda civic & all newer models. dubem3: 1 Like |

9icetoo: Hello Folks, I really appreciate everyone's suggestion. I glad to announce to you all that my vehicle is running perfect ones again. Indeed the coil was the culprit here. One of them was damaged at the neck which could only be seen if you uninstalled & removed the straight tube attached to it to have a visual inspection. Got a new coil & then use silicon gum of the necks & all was fine. Lesson to learn. 1. Coils might be damaged even if they sensitive to disconnecting the coil wiring harness/wiring sockets. 2. Coils could actually leak from the plastics tubes. 3. Vehicle might not misfire while on idle, neutral or park and yet still have a bad coil. 4. Vehicle jerking is synonymous to plug misfire, coil misfire, fuel pump and injectors but to diagnose the fault it's better to start from the basics like inspection of plugs and coils before progressing to more complex parts. 4 Likes |

Mayor555: Thanks bro. Actually am suspecting these coils. It happened to me weeks ago so I changed two coils and it stopped suddenly it began again. Am with a mechanic now. I will update u guys on our findings |
Car Talk / Re: Honda City 2007 Jerking While In Gear by franklin93(m): 6:03am On May 26, 2019 |
oluwaseunla: The vehicle is jerks while on drive or reverse. It is stable while in park or neutral. The jerking is noticeable when the vehicle temperature has risen like after 20 minutes of steady driving. It does not vibrate but jerks as if there is a misfire but when you stop the vehicle and fire it there is no sign of engine misfire. |

Mayor555: Thanks for your post. I really appreciate. Fuel pump replaced, nozzles serviced & they are firing well, fuel filter replaced, fuel tank very neat, plugs replaced and yet the problem persist. I guess we have to look at the coils again. I just hope is not transmission related. |

Car Talk / Catalyst Converter Good Or Bad News For Peugeot 406 by franklin93(m): 11:26am On Nov 02, 2018 |

Car Talk / Re: How Reliable Is Peugeot 607? by franklin93(m): 6:43pm On Aug 02, 2018 |
I have owned a peugeot 406 inline 4 cylinder (ew10) & lastly the peugeot 406 v6 which I eventually sold because of gas mileage since I signed up on Uber. After selling the V6, I used a Honda accord & now a Toyota yaris. I must say that I miss my peugeot, very reliable. Am only with the yaris cos of fuel economy for my business but that aside, the peugeot is a better car of all I have used. Have you ever wondered why you have so many peugeot littered all over the streets of Abuja & Northern Nigeria known for rough terrain.? The answer is simply because of their reliability just like the way you see Toyota everywhere. If it was a bad brand you won't see them scattered allover the city & Northern Nigeria with the toughest terrains in Nigeria. Do people still buy Nissan Murano's & Infiniti FX 35, 45 & most infiniti brands? The answer is NO. Now that's the definition of a bad product. Mercedes car is known for luxury & class but that's not to say they don't have their issues. Most recent Benz products from year 2008 till date are only good when they are new & they are prone to a lot of electrical issues due to a million sensors that controls most of the luxury gadgets and all. I have close pals that use Benz & sometimes they get frustrated with the electrical issues that never stops immediately they start giving issues. Resale value for most German cars is zero. It was war before my friend was able to sell his Mercedes E350 2008 model, eventually Cars45 bought it for 1.2million naira because he was frustrated with the vehicle springing up surprises daily. In all, German cars are known for luxury & Class but that shouldn't be mistaken for reliability. The recent models are reliable in there own way but the most reliable Germans are from 2005 models down to the 90s. abatically: 2 Likes |

Thanks for your reply. In testing the 02 sensor connector, bank 1 sensor 1 I connected the black wire of the multimeter to the negative terminal of my battery while the car was in ignition with the dashboard lights on. I then connected the red wire to each of the pins on the connector. I set the multimeter to voltage sector (200v). The connector pin is 4 in number and one of them displayed 12v, the other showed 0, the third one showed 1. 2v while the forth pins showed 2.2v. For the 02 sensor itself, I switched to ohms reading on the multimeter and selected 200ohms, I then connected the black and red wire of the multimeter to the two black wires which is suppose to be the heater wires and it read 0.9 for the fuses, I tested fuse number 19, 23 and number 4. No 19 was under the hood while 23 and 4 was under the dash. I used a bulb connected to a negative and positive signal wires. I used the hinge on my door as a ground and as I tested the two points on each fuse they all produced currents thereby lighting the bulbs. Pls what's your location? Am in abuja AutoElectNG: |

Good day bro, I have tested the 02 sensor to know the heater voltage and it showed me 0.9 more so I tested the connector and it displayed 12v, one of the wire showed 1.2v and the other 2.2v while one of them showed 0 (nothing) . I equally tested the fuse no. 4, 23 and 19 and all had current in them. Am confused. AutoElectNG: |
