Hi Gazzuz,

I need your help with a comprehensive diagnostics of my car, a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport. The neutral light flashes continuously at L,2,3&. gear is sluggish and won't get past gear 3 on the freeway.

I've been told alot by different techs, fixed various sensors with temporary success. right now I'm being told to change the brain-box. so I need to just find out what exactly the problem is.

I discovered anytime the car is stationary, like inside traffic, the AC doesn't work well, that it doesn't blow cold, it just manages to be cold, the car be getting stuffy after a while.

But immediately it starts moving the AC be becoming cold. And it keeps on moving, it becomes ice cold, that is works perfectly.

What could be wrong?

Jagermeister:
Greetings Chief.

We've spoken on the phone a few times in the past...

You suggested the Cepsa 20w 50 which isn't a bad buy, I did that but my engine was already a mess at that point and was on a salvage mission.

Oh well sir! I was transferred to Kaduna so my vehicle was left unused for 2 months. I came back to lagos on Tuesday to take it to Kaduna.

An hour into the journey. Approaching the toll gate, Ibadan... I had engaged Cruise control earlier and kept steady @ 120kph, braked for a second, re-engaged the cruise acceleration and suddenly the RPM needle rose to 6,000, oil light illuminated on the instrument cluster and engine stalled on the highway.

I pulled over, opened the engine oil housing cap and there was smoke gushing out. Started it again and the sound of the engine was off... I immediately knew my crankshaft, metals, pistons, oil pump.. Everything was fried.. Had to tow vehicle to Ibadan.

Sir. Note that I saw this oil warning light while I drove the car a day before, I pulled over, checked engine oil and it was regular... I went to the mech and he said it was the oil fuse bla bla bla.. They fiddled with something and said everything was alright. Idiots! Or maybe I'm the idiot for trusting them too much.

If I'd known, I'd have gone to the Internet for help and perhaps I might not have made this trip in the first place.

Toyota camry, 2003. I4-cylinder, 2az fe.

What do you think sir.. Rebuild or total overhaul?

The car is in Ibadan, I'm in Kaduna.. So I can't even get it to your garage in Lagos.

And I will sit back and enjoy your several threads on engine rebuild and replacement.. Even the latest one, the Honda Accord. I didn't know my own will come so soon and my pocket will leak this badly.

Did you vacuum the AC system before recharging?

-12psi. Even bleed pipes with refrigerant before refil

That Engine cost N550k?

Hydrostatic lock is a failure of the internal combustion engine, where the unit can’t run due to fluid entering the combustion chamber above the piston and preventing it from completing its cycle.

While the usual fuel-air mixture is compressible, allowing the piston to perform its reciprocation movement inside the cylinder, liquids are extremely difficult to compress, which means the affected piston(s) will come to a stop on the upstroke.

What can cause hydrolocking

Before we start talking about this unpleasant issue, we have to explain that water reaching the intake of your engine is not the only hydrolock cause. Alas, this can also occur due to engine coolant entering the combustion chamber (a blown head gasket causes this). Malfunctioning injectors or carburetors can also allow liquid fuel to enter the cylinder.

The Damage, in painful details

The effects hydrostatic locking can have on your powerplant depend on the state of the engine at the time the water enters the combustion chamber. If an unit hydrolocks when idling, it will normally stop and will not allow you top bring it back to life using just the starter motor. This is happiest case, where you might not experience any damage at all.

Unfortunately, if an engine hydrolocks when being revved, the consequences can be dire. Depending on the height level of your intake and the depth of the water, as well as on the various on-site parameters, the amount of liquid that enters the engine can reach one or more cylinders.

You can experience a case where a single piston hydrolocks, while the others provide enough power to keep the engine running for a while. However, when hydrostatic locking occurs at speed, the unit will usually come to an abrupt stop.

Generally, when an engine hydrolocks at speed, the force of the camshaft pushing bends the piston rods, which are folded under the piston above them. While the crankcase or the heads can be ruined in the process and the crankshaft bearings destroyed, the shock can even cause cracks in the engine block.
