Was surfing the web when I stumbled on this picture. I was really amazed at the creativity and also the security measure applied by the owner. Do people still do this? Can you do this to your car?

Your contributions will be highly welcomed.

TheRealGEJ:
please house. I need your help here. I changed my wife's car engine. Though I wasn't around when the engine was changed. And when I came back I noticed they use mobile oil instead of the 5w20 or 5w30. OEM. I asked and was told they couldn't find it here. Though I planned changing oil when it clock 2000miles or 2500miles. Will that be too late or will there be any problem when I revert to the OEM specification.

My auto-transmission 2001 CR-V stalled today while driving (the second time in 4weeks); the first time was at a right turn, just as I slowed down to make the turn, engine went off. Today, however, I was driving straight and speed was about 5-20 km/h when it happened- I was just taking off from a stop. Both times the engine started back immediately and I completed my trip with no other stall.

Any ideas what could be the cause of the stalling?

Extra info:
Scanning still revealed no new codes besides the known codes I have, which are P0131 (the downstream O2 sensor is missing) and P0141 (this came up after I replaced the transmission a few months back)

Prior to this though, the car would randomly stall only while driving in reverse- that stopped after I had the injectors serviced/cleaned.
However, the problem is now reversed plus I get very high cold idle speed (about 1800rpm) with terrible mileage and oftentimes, there seems to be a drag changing from 1st gear to 2nd.

The codes only refer to oxygen sensor b1S2, install it and the codes will go.

The sudden stall could be casued by a lot of factors.

Fuel pressure related: that could explain the drag from 1st to 2nd gear.

Sudden power loss to distributor.

The high cold rpm is bad for the engine, a stiff or bad IACV is responsible clean or replace.

The gurus, I need ur help here. My passenger air bag indicator after working on my a/c compressor. Kindly advice on how to reset it. Car is Honda accord 2005 model 4plugs.

Thanks in advance

One of the impact sensors, on the front right side has caused a code, check harness and actual sensor, when done use a scanner to reset.

Good day, good people. I refuelled my car, a 2007 Honda accord last week. The malfunction indicator came on about two days later,and a scan brought a code, P2138, showing there was a problem with the TPS. The car stalls and also jerks when shifting from gear 1 to 2 while in motion, and when the gear stick is shifted to R or from R while stationary.

Now, two of my office vehicles, both of them, Toyota had issues after buying fuel from the same source earlier that week, so that the fuel pump of one of them had to be changed.

Each time I reset the engine with the scanner, the light comes up in 5mins or less.

Could it be possible that it is the bad fuel that could be affecting the engine while the system is throwing a code p2138 that has to do with the TPS?

Please, I await your responses and suggestions. Thank you.

Introduce your engine type properly.

What type of throttle body does your vehicle have??

Drive by cable

If it is the first pic, disconnect the socket and check for corrosion and re-install you might be lucky.

Oga Gazzuz,

Please can you direct me on how to properly service my camry 2.2 Idle Air control Valve and also a picture of a perfect rpm idle position.

Thank you.

If you have scanned the car and gotten no codes related to throttle body and still have poor or erratic idling then a service of the IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE is reccomended.


Pic below is your throttle body.


Next pic is the electronic part that varies the valve to perform the open and closed movement via electromagnetic induction. When you pull this off try and turn the valve by hand, if stiff the go ahead to open the valve completely and clean generously with carbcleaner until it turns freely by hand, it should move clockwise and anti clockwise 90degrees.

Open the lower parts with 4screws and spary with carb cleaner in till it moves freely, couple back and every thing should work fine.

Note. Remove all rubber seals before applying carb cleaner, if not what happened in 1974.... whey will expand and not fit. Good luck.

Please I want to buy Toyota avalon 2002, Nigerian used. Is the car durable and economical or does it normally have major issues that can be very problematic

Not economical

No major issues

iamphill:
And the TCS and ABS lights are permanently on. What does that mean?

You need a scan.

Exponental:
if you are always on the highway and you ain't a slow driver, you will love it. it only consumes a little more fuel in traffic prone areas. Enjoy it, don't get discouraged.
speed kills and speed saves . drive wisely!

OriEyeLe:
I got me a 2001 toyota camry v6 and my mechanic said why I go buy v6, he said he consume more fuel I said that's no problem, he now said v6 has problems...to be honest I love the smooth driving and I don't see any much fuel consumption. But the way he said this really scares me

Iv owned both vehicles.

The V6 is really pleasurable to drive on the highways, a real Monster, engine is really solid and hardly gets bad.

The I4 is also good, but being an I4 not really a sprinter.

I sold the V6 and bought the I4 because I had no check engine light on but was getting 330-380km on a ful tank of 70liters!

Not very pocket friendly if you calculate what you spend on fuel per month. And per year (very important) I have a heavy foot, and in town I spent more than my budget on petrol.

The I4 was easier to maintain in the log run because

1. I spent less on engine oil at each service 4liter gallon as against the 4.7-4.8liter for the V6
2. Fewer suspension problems in the front wheels ( the V6 is heavy and prone to more suspension problems in front)

3. Spent less on parts and easier access to most components(6 cylinders, 6 spark plugs, coils, injectors)



Personally if I was always on the highway the v6 would be my option, but if you live in traffic prone cities it's just a waste of money and you don't even get to flex the muscle under the hood so what was the point?

Hello.oga GAZZUZZ, Please What are a general maintenance tip you would suggest for a first time car user.what do I look out for before moving out every morning. Any specific tip for maintaining an opel vectra car

Check oil and coolant levels

Emulti:
Please car gurus in the house, i need ur advice. My 1999 honda crv vibrates once i start d car. my mechanic has changed d shocks nd bearings at the front yet d problem still persist. I need ur suggestion on what could be the problem. Thanks

Query is very vague, add more info.

9icetoo:
your idle issue might have been related to the throttle position sensor which may have reset itself. Nissans are known to have this issue. If no codes are present at the moment, then throttle away bro. Glad your problems are over. You are lucky the missed timing didn't wreck your engine. My friend is presently sourcing for a 1AZ FSE engine after his mechanic missed the timing after changing his head gasket. the valves all went kaput as soon as the car was started.

I have a head cylinder I could sell to him.

Highlander

Engine started and runs well.

Engine oil changed, transmission oil changed coolant changed vehicle is under observation.

please which kind of spray can I use to clean my maf sensor?

Contact cleaner is what I use. Carb cleaner is too harsh.
