mobolaji234: Thanks Sir. I have made my findings and unfortunately the corolla is a non-vvti car while the engine is a vvti equipped engine. Now what do I do Sir engine is equipped with a timing actuator that is variable , it should be replaced with a non vvti actuator and timing set.
Another crude way of solving it is welding it in a fixed position . |

Promxy94: Good Morning sir Gazzuzz please what will be the fault, as my corolla 04 goes off in motion once acclelaration passes 100km to 120km it will just off, every thing will stop working, pedals will stop responding, battery light will show on Dashboard. But radio and ac still on then i will have to control the car to a halt, before starting again, and it starts immediately. And functions properly again. But once speed gets to 120km same thing happens. But normal driving below 100km is perfect as car works well. This cannot be solved remotely.
Let's understand why.
For an engine to shut off while driving the following could happen.
Loss of power (ignition electrical) Loss of fuel pressure Communication fault (ecu electrical)
The point to test what actually happens is to repeat fault at that speed and there are so many variables. |

molybdenum0012: I think it’s aftermarket. I have never worked on the brake master before since I bought the car tokunbo last year March. I only changed the brake pads once. At this point I cannot suggest any other thing to do. Physical checks and tests required.
Your brake system is very basic the only part/s that can cause biased braking in your current system is either the quality of brake pads installed or a defective brake master.
It's also possible that when testing the clown did not enter the correct parameters for checks (assuming front and rear were pads) and there might be nothing wrong with your car.

I just bought the car and I have used the car for almost 3 weeks without any problem. I took it to a mechanic workshop just to do one of two things that are necessary like security, bearing . When I got there to pick up the car now discovered that the car was not working well the way it was before taking it to the mechanic workshop. Misfired on idle and I ran the scan and brought up these error codes. Thanks take a pic of the engine. |

My car runs quietly and I have experience increased in acceleration and power.
And above all for the first time I bought my car (Naija used) This is the first time using my car for almost 5 days without the pin dropping from the full gauge (Improve fuel efficiency)
My own experience sha. all the vehicles I have , have never used cleaners and my tailpipe is not dark and oily or dark at all. It is a product of your emission system. |

Nafizzey: My car Peugeot 206 recently started flashing the check Engine light, although I didn't not feel any changes in the car response, so I took it to mechanic after checking my plugs, he said I should replace all my plugs which I did. But the check Engine light continues flashing, the mechanic said I should not worry since the Car is moving fine I should continue using it.
Please is this normal from the car gurus.. Gazzuzz it is not normal. You should have the car scanned |

smestudio: Good evening Auto genius,
Kindly advice on what to do with these issues. 1. My neighbors Honda Civic 2010 leaks Power Steering fluid. I Have to top it about once a week, else it will empty and Steering wheel becomes hard to turn. What might be the issue?
2. Honda Accord 2009, after long distance say another 90mins plus drive in hot sun, water in Radiator reserve start to boil heavily. If I drive less than 90mins, I can also fear the Engine Heat under the Steering wheel. What might the issue be? Fans works well. Radiator not leaking. Car has Thermostat 1. Replace all leaking parts.
2. Remote diagnosis unavailable |

Dez10: Dear car enthusiasts,
I have a Toyota matrix 2006, at 80km/hr & above, there is this humming sound from under d hood, very distinct at d persengers side, i already replaced the suspected damaged hub (complete unit with bearing).
Humming sound has reduced but still being heard at high speed, i am thinking it's from the power steering, the oil seems dirty & contaminated.
I am planning to flush with the attached atf. Please i need advice, are these atf recommended? Tyre types do matter.
Some tyre threads are naturally built to be noisy for better grip in subzero conditions (which we don't have) |

mobolaji234: Good day Boss and happy Sunday. I just bought this 06 bank type corolla with 1NZ-FE engine. Then later I noticed on the door, it was specified that the engine should be 2NZ-FE. I'm not sure if it was converted or not but I noticed the slow running when on idle is always above 1000R/min. the check engine iight isn't on. I noticed its a bit high on fuel consumption. Please what can I do Sir The 1 or 2nz is not really a problem.
What you should look out for is if the vehicle was designed with variable valve timing and if engine is equipped with it.
A scan will show you what is missing |
