Mongomeyen: Gazzuzz and other auto gurus in the house please see to the challenge I am having, my 2004 Toyota Camry 4 cyl is not reving up, it starts normally, but when you push down the gas pedal it does not "raise". I have changed the 4 plugs, changed the fuel pump and cleaned the throttle body, nothing changed. I scanned the car today and the codes below popped up Reconnect your throttle body.

I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup.

Jimraz4: Good morning Oga Gazzuzz and other car Gurus in the house. I use Nissan Almera 2000. My problem started when the car started shorting engine oil. My mechanic recommended that I should ring the engine. I told him am skeptical about the idea, but when I ask for the price of new engine it's on a high side so I opted for the ringing which cost me 50k. After the ringing I discovered the car temperature is rising even on short distances. Have not travelled far with the car after the ringing.
Pls I need advice on what could be the issue and solution, plus the engine makes more noise unlike before. Like when i reach my destination and put the gear on park. The engine makes noise like am reving it but am not.
Pls I need your advice. Thanks High idle speed. Bring it down |

peterpeteru: Thanks boss for the succinct response.
Which of the 2006 trims with 3mz engine can you recommend? e.g AWD, CE FWD, LE FWD, LE AWD, XLE FWD, etc.
What of the AC? In all you do avoid the AWD option. It's not bad, it's just more expensive to repair the transmission if and when it fails.
For trims https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lexingtontoyota.com/blog/what-do-the-toyota-trim-level-acronyms-mean/
No let them scam you CE in naija means " cheap edition " that classic was to make it look good.
The air-conditioning is a manual compressor, very reliable , with high mileage leaks are common on the compressor, also rear evaporator leaks are common too.

blackbone989: Talk about pilot and odyssey 2005/2007 model. Compare to XC90 2005 t5 You see these Volvo people, they have a cult like followership, they are like obidients led by mazi valarinz. If I talk any how now, thread go scatter.
Only thing be say cost of clearing both models has made it ridiculous importing any of them. |

LeJeun3:
The V8 is limited and quite a few of them out there. It's an interference engine and yes it uses a belt.
There are some V6 that use belt too
Choosing between a belt and chain would depend on your maintenance culture. If you pay attention to details and can monitor the 90K miles between changes of belts that's fine.
cumrade I see you are awake too |

peterpeteru: Please talk about the Sienna series. Thank you. First model 1998-2002
Used Parts are all becoming scarce (the car don de finish)
The 2004-2006 with the 3mz is the current transport champion on Nigerian roads, same engine and transmission as the ES330 (flip to page to to read) sturdy suspension, abused day and night and it peforms.
The 2006-2010 with the 2gr-fe engine, not loved by the transporters as it apparently consumes more fuel, and it requires an engine drop for any major engine job.
2011-date. Those ba3tards built nonsense, the car just long like limo with horrible ground clearance, it did not receive same welcome as it's predecessor, it also has a ₦1m transmission if you do any how. It's the real definition of big for nothing .

lereinter: I doff my hat to you.
Your write-up is superb, comprehensive and educative.
Boss can you talk about Mazda and Nissan as an option to Toyota In the 1980's and early 1990's they all built very sturdy vehicles .
But When manufacturing started in the USA Nissan went rogue and Mazda followed.
Currently I will not go near a modern day Nissan or Mazda vehicle made in the usa.

You should be alerting your customers when they’re due for routine maintenance. Make dem no wait till small “Tik Tik“ sound turn to major “Tik Da Dam Ghush” sound
