Car Talk › Re: Troublesome Camry And Vibration by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:28am On Nov 24, 2014
AutosBay:
You have one of two problems. Either the engine rpm's are too low once the engine heats up or because of a bad engine or transmission mount the rubber mounts are not dampening the engine vibrations. If one of the mounts were bad, I would think you would have the problem whether the engine was hot or cold. An easy way to test the mounts is to power brake the vehicle while it is in gear. Do it both in drive and in reverse. If you have a bad mount, the engine will move excessively and many time when you release the gas, the engine will fall with a boom to the sub-frame. If the mounts pass testing, the next check is to see what your idle rpm's are in gear at a stop. Most vehicle will be in the 750 rpm range while idling in gear. If you find you have low idle speed there are many other components to check. Narrow it down to either engine speed or engine mounts.

Op its all summed up here

In addition, P0037: HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2) is of the one on or after the catalytic converter (indomie).

If his car is a v6, he could swap Bank 1 Sensor 2 for Bank 2 sensor 2 (same sensor) if the car has to confirm that the sensor is faulty. It could be the heater fuse or harness.
A live scan will clear all doubts grin

Bros, I use a Nissan Xterra O3 model. My major issue with it is that it consumes too much fuel..

have noticed the car is consuming h.ell amount of fuel. Most time spend 2000 to 2500 from Ojota to Magodo > Yaba then Back to Ojota.....

But my friend driving a Nissan pathfinder 1999 model do this same trip with 1500 fuel and still have some to Go church the next day (church distance like from Ojota to Oregun daystar church)

But my own car will already be Out of fuel...
I scanned with a small OBD device and it gave me this code.

Please Help me oo.. Before the car finish my pocket..
lets take it from the top. https://nissanhelp.com/diy/xterra/projects/images/nissanhelp_nissan_xterra_front_o2_sensor_location.gif

1. p0505 idle air control valve, im not sure what year xterra u use or engine type(v6/I4) but the idle control valve is located on the throttle bodyhttps://www.carsteering.com/data/all_images/RHN6025-Map1.jpg and should look like this. https://www.partsgeek.com/assets/dimage/full/1285175.jpg if the harness (wiring) is faulty check it if its ok replace defective iacv.

2.P0335: Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit. the function if this sensor is to detect the speed and position of the crankshaft. its location is near the crankshaft pulley, have it checked, p.s if its nor working car wouldnt start.

3.P0745: Pressure Control Solenoid "A" :The Pressure solenoid is inside the transmission and it helps regulate the pressure from the trans fluid pump.

There is also a "Dropping resistors", that controls the voltage from the ECM to the solenoid. If the resistor fail, it can also trigger the same code. The resistor is located in the engine compartment.

4.P0455: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak): your fuel tank should at all times be air tight, there is currently a leak and this is causing this error. check fuel tank cover, check vacuum pipes leading to fuel tank and if there was any previous fuel pump work done on the car, ensure all the screws were tightly screwed back.

5.P0037: HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2): https://nissanhelp.com/diy/xterra/projects/images/nissanhelp_nissan_xterra_rear_o2_sensor_location.gif check your o2 sensor heater circuit for continuity, replace if faulty.

6.P0328: Knock Sensor 1 Circuit High Input (Bank 1 or Single Sensor): check harness to ensure it is connected properly, replace if faulty. this will require some stripping grinhttps://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk158/mene62374/Xterra/PICT15651.jpg RED ARROW IS LOACTION OF KNOCK SENSOR


please ensure you erase all errors and re-scan vehicle after 50km before doing any work, cause most of the errors might be stored errors as a result of removing sockets while ignition/engine being on.

good luck (you are going to need it grin)

OP this is how it works, your plugs were probably never bad in the first place, possibly a rich mixture caused them to fail, the rich mixture was caused by bad 02 sensors. Also you have bad wheel speed sensors.

Now you have serviced injectors (waste of time) replaced plugs (should have just cleaned old ones).

The new plugs will still get dark and fail, CEL will start blinking soon. You will damage your catalyst in in the long run, and I stand corrected but the speed sensors may affect gear shifting and presently your ABS does not work.

Advice: if you can't pay for standard service, don't think the roadside is any better. Replace your O2 sensors and yor wheel speed sensors.

P.s if you can't afford new O2 sensors you can get tokumbor at 5k a piece. Thaose wheel speed sensors cost arround 5-7k for new ones. The knock sensor might not be bad.(Leave it till a re-scan)

I replaced the plugs, the shaft and changed the oil still can't get the fun of Grand theft auto. Until, today when my fuel went to reserve, I went to a very popular station, lo and behold my car ran after Hamilton's F1. I never knew fuel could have such effect on vehicle. Please, fill your car in a good filling station. .

Autos › Re: Uk's First 'poo Bus' Goes Into Service between Bristol And Bath by GAZZUZZ(m): 9:45pm On Nov 20, 2014

www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-30115137
This how you do it.

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/340/media/images/79124000/jpg/_79124986_hi024788137.jpg

The UK's first bus powered entirely by human and food waste has gone into service between Bristol and Bath.
The 40-seat "Bio-Bus" runs on biomethane gas generated through the treatment of sewage and food waste.
The eco-friendly vehicle can travel up to 300km (186 miles) on one tank of gas, which takes the annual waste of about five people to produce.
It is run by tour operator Bath Bus Company and will shuttle people between Bristol Airport and Bath city centre.
The biomethane gas is generated at Bristol sewage treatment works in Avonmouth, which is run by GENeco, a subsidiary of Wessex Water.
GENeco general manager Mohammed Saddiq said: "Gas-powered vehicles have an important role to play in improving air quality in UK cities but the Bio-Bus goes further than that and is actually powered by people living in the local area, including quite possibly those on the bus itself."

How do you power a bus with waste?

Media caption
The bio-bus runs between Bath and Bristol Airport
A single passenger's annual food and sewage waste would fuel the Bio-Bus for 37 miles (60km)
Its combustion engine is similar in design to diesel equivalents in conventional buses
Compressed gas is stored in dome-like tanks on the roof of the Bio-Bus
The gas is generated through anaerobic digestion - where oxygen starved bacteria breaks down biodegradable material to produce methane-rich biogas
To power a vehicle, the biogas undergoes "upgrading", where carbon dioxide is removed and propane added
Impurities are removed to produce virtually odour free emissions
Compared to conventional diesel vehicles, up to 30% less carbon dioxide is emitted

Green capital
The service from the airport to Bath carries about 10,000 passengers each month.
Bath Bus Company's Collin Field, said: "With so much attention being directed towards improving air quality generally, the public reaction to the appearance of this bus on a service between a world heritage city and an airport will further focus on the potential for this particular fuel."
He said the bus was being launched at a very "appropriate" time, as Bristol is to become the European Green Capital next year.
Bristol sewage treatment works processes around 75 million cubic metres of sewage waste and 35,000 tonnes of food waste each year.
A total of 17 million cubic metres of biomethane, enough to power 8,300 homes, is generated annually at the plant through a process known as anaerobic digestion.
