Thanks, I had to drive out to buy groceries and on my way back the check engine light came on. Now I couldn't perform the idle relearn plus i have a check engine light...what could be worse now. Did it come on due to the high idle? Can you recommend someone i can meet today to scan and fix this issue, i will be on the road to ibadan next week.

Beautiful4u:
I scanned my car and this P0401. Exhaust gas recirculation flow insufficient detected. What do I do to rectify this problem. Thank you sir

I have a similar problem. But my car is a 2005 corolla. Mech said the roller is faulty and need to be change. Quoted 9k for that but I'm not sure that's the correct diagnosis. Please advice

A 2001 RAV4 battery want dead, so we had to change it, but after swapping the battery the engine refused to start and the starter motor cranks very well, so I am VERY SURE it is not the starter, and before then the car would start normally ( before the battery died on the road) and now the security LED light on the left of the Steering blinks repeatedly, so we did everything like wait for how many minutes and disconnected the ECU but to no avail, the somebody called another person (Not a technician, just a spare parts dealer) and he came and removed I think EFI fuse, and took a piece of wire and only he and God knows exactly what he did on the fuse compartment under the steering and turned the keys and the engine started like before.
So please can you guys explain however detailed or not what exactly he did? Pleas guys that, cost me some thick CASH.

Hi Nlanders,

I had my injectors cleaned and changed my 4 plugs. My mechanic said he cleaned the injector head with thinner and applied oil treatment to stop a tampering sound from the engine. Now my car drives quieter but the idle is high. around 1500 to 1800 on cold start and drops to 1200 rpm.

How can I reduce the idle to the factory default at 700? I read stuff online and it said I have to perform the idle re-learn procedure, what is that?

Car: honda accord 2008, 4cyl
Thanks

Good day fellow Nairalanders, I have a Hyundai Elantra 2013 which I bought brand new about a year and a months ago. I have been servicing it for free at Hyundai Service Centre for the first 3 times (1000km, 5000km and 10,000km). My next service is estimated at 15,000 which is due now. But I dont really appreciate servicing my car with Hyundai service centre because clients don't know the kind of oil or part they use. They only drive in your car inside their workshop and ask you to wait at the reception. The free service has finished now, and someone advised me to use MOBIL 1 engine to service my car henceforth with the assistant of one Hyundai Mechanic working with any of their centres to help me service it at home. IS THEIR ANY RECOMMENDED ENGINE OIL FOR HYUNDAI PRODUCTS OR PERHAPS IS THERE ANY ENGINE OIL BETTER THAN MOBIL 1?
Pls, I will appreciate your contributions because I know two good heads are better than one. Thanks in advance for your contributions. God bless

My advise is to keep servicing at the hyundai service Centre. You still have a little over 2 years on your warranty which you will void if you service your vehicle outside of their service center.

the mechanic bought brand new ones

2 Free Gasket (for Toyota drain plug) for your next service

GAZZUZZ:
I have a feeling your knocksensor is not the only culprit. Jerking at intervals sounds like a misfire. You really need somone to look at your car, knock sensors for your car are easily available "toks" and you can get them for as low as 1500. You will have to strip the engine like this to access them.www.nairaland.com/attachments/1999580_knocksensor_jpeg55cbb6233be8956d11e0a345486b28cb

If you are installing used knock sensors ensure you test them.

I contacted the people at Tramigo and they're telling me a different story. They said I have to pay yearly the sum of N15,000 after the installation at the cost of N55,000.
I read an advert on Nairaland some time ago about car tracking at N25k.

aguiyi:
i didnt know that much bro, it was my first time of speeding under the rain .one E320 passed me like breeze so i followed, a trailer tried to crush an infinity who ran into my front causing me to step on the break abruptly and that was it. i did not have any injury sha. the infinity got a good bashing from me though i paid for its repairs in full, i thank God am alive and healthy.

that car has good balancing and speed, i just cant wait to get it back on the road, the panel beater in benin close to Uniben wasted my money without doing any thing tangible. i need recommendation on a good mechanic in ph pls

I recently bought a registered 2005 corolla. the seller told me there were a few problem to be fixed.
1. The AC: I filled the gas and observed that when I'm moving fast it works fine but stops working when I'm in traffic. I'm not sure what the cause is

2. How much does it cost to replace front passenger airbag for the 05 corolla

3. The right wheel makes a Lil noise when I move and when I apply brake, a mech said it's the roller that has to be changed. Please advise if I should proceed with that.
4: the time on the dashboard does not work. Please assist with price of a replacement.

Thanks.
NB: it's my 1st car so I'm kinda green in these affairs

favouryemmy:
Please share your experoences with car trackers and car tracking companies. I'm considering getting one for my car.
Thanks for your positive contributions in advance.
