So I have been driving this car for 1 year now. Engine light was on when I bought it tokunbo February last year but I felt it was something I can easily fix since I know what the problem is.

Now fast forward to 1 year later, the check engine light is still on and over the last 12 months, I have done everything humanly possible to remove the course of this issue which is the warning displaced on my vehicle message screen... CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM!
When I remove the battery heads, the check emission system warning disappears and the check engine light goes off but as soon as I turn off the engine and start the vehicle again. Both of them come back starting with the check emission system!

At first when I started trying, i was changing little things like filter, then I connected the pipes properly and all but no luck then I decided to change the entire filter box. Also asked a mechanic to clean somethings and many other things I tried!

Over the 1 year period, the car drives great. No stall, drips water when I start it in the morning and sounds wonderful but seeing that check engine light and the check emission system message every morning gives me sadness. I ran a scan a few times and it always come up with nothing. Recently I had to drive 2 hours to a technician I was told has a very expensive scanner that can detect almost any fault. He did a scan for me and said I should change my o2 sensors. I was happy, thinking the end has finally come to this problem so I bought all 3 o2 sensors attached to the front, back and exhaust!
We changed them, but lo and behold.... Check engine! Check emission system! I give up!

I even tested my catalytic converter to be sure it's okay and it's all fine! I bought this car with a very low mile age of 49k and I'm shocked that this issue will persist for this long.

You know what! I'm putting a bounty on its head. If you can fix this CHECK EMISSION SYSTEM in this car, I'll give you 50k extra. Apart from the price of the things you'll buy oo.

Kingdemu:
It is obvious your price is high above the roof as usual. You will one day be humbled.

I avoided you because of the way u talk

The same things that make me avoid you you keep repeating them


From the day I noticed you don't know how to talk I stopped talking to you it's like you didn't notice


I'm a very temperamental person
My temper is not good

Hello sir.

I have issues with my 2004 sienna,
The transmission doesn't select quite well if I step down on the gas pedal. It has difficulty in changing gears. I have drained and replaced transmission oil,(with recommended Toyota T-IV) I also cleaned the gear filter still the same problem persists. I don't want to believe that my transmission is now bad.

scan the transmission. Might be a rodent issue, they love chewing on torque converter circuits

Yes boss I'm very much aware the first paragraph is the original to my post while being modified.

I'm sure you too are very much interested to know how his proposal ended.

Felicity001:
I love this man and the other man bravolad up there

40-50k weekly?!

Hmm!

Modify: 3yrs already down the line I and other honourable viewers of this wonderful trend would like to know how this proposal ended.

In that note, would the subject (op) be honest and kind enough to come up and share his experience either positive or negative on how things went so that people both investors and those seeking opportunity could learn as the internet do not forget.

Thanks.

Andalucia:
First off, thanks for taking time to go through my post and subsequently posting a reply.

Relative to your question, I have been opportune to operate this business for over four years prior to the advent of Uber and Taxify but as the vehicle owner rather than driver (this affords me much experience on how the business works sans the "e" aspect of it which in my opinion only makes the business easier to run). The "E" aspect of the business is just introducing technology to how a model has been run for ages thus tweaking how it works for the better at a consideration (the commission the technology firm gets). While each venture has it's challenges and peculiarities, I daresay this is one venture that is not rocket science.

Again, I have friends (and a next door neighbour who has been a partner with Uber and also Taxify since their inception hence seen it all, the good and the bad. In fact, I convinced him to provide vehicles for the business even though I couldn't take advantage of the platform given the nature of my job back then) and acquaintances who operate on both ends of the spectrum (drivers and owners) relative to the business. You could say my theoretical knowledge of how this business works is formidable. Before saying such theoretical knowledge may not be practical, bear in mind that the mentioned theoretical knowledge is a function of the practical experience of players in the game; consummate players still in the field of play as at yesterday!

Furthermore, a thorough research into the business will afford the dedicated individual pertinent information needed to thrive in the business. This is a business whose success is largely anchored on having the requisite knowledge relative to peak movement periods, perfect locations, alternative routes to intended destination and above all top-notch customer care (repeat business can do much to boost earnings). This is of course taking for granted the availability of a very sound vehicle as without this every other effort comes to nought.

Let me end by saying that with respect to my part, any intending principal has nothing to fear as he/she will discover. Hoping I answered your query Sir.

EW10A TO EW10J4 IN PEUGEOT 407: NIGERIAN FACTOR.

For the past few days, I was engage in providing partial remote Pre-purchase inspections for a client interested in buying Peugeot 407 with EW10J4. Among the 407s he sent me their pictures, one had EW10J4, but the wiring connections and Engine attachments were that of EW10A. When I asked him to send me the VIN, it indicated EW12J4 instead. I asked and directed him where to find and send me Engine ECU picture which showed EW10A ECU (all in one vehicle, but at least it confirmed my suspicion).

About 2 more 407s he sent me their pictures had EW10J4, but their engine ECUs were EW10A. Not saying I was surprised, because it's what majority of 407 users with EW10A Engines end up doing.

The interesting part was from the look of those EW10J4 engines on the pictures, they were recently purchased and swapped in (tokunbo), yet the owners still prefer to get rid of their cars. The reasons were obvious.

EW10J4 or EW7J4 will never run properly with EW10A Engine management systems. They realised how unsuccessful the conversions were and wanted to transfer the headache to someone else. Fortunately, people who prefer abused lions at any cost would buy off those nightmares from them, even at give away prices, only to start crying "HELP! HELP! HELP!

EW10A camshaft position sensor is attached on intake camshaft, while that of EW10J4 is mounted on Exhaust camshaft. Their ECU expects different values from those sensors to determine the conditions of timing and use the information to control when and how their Engines start and run. Connecting EW10A ECU to EW10J4 will mess up the Engine start (severe hard start), among other things.

EW10A is an improved and more powerful engine to EW10J4 with lesser fuel consumption. It has VVT solenoid, unlike the predecessor (EW10J4). So expecting the EW10A ECU to run EW10J4 engine properly without or in absence of VVT solenoid shows ignorance on function of VVT solenoid and how the system work Engine ECU. Will not only run rich, but will be underpowered, among other issues it will introduce.

For EW10J4 engine to work properly on Peugeot 407 with formerly EW10A, the EW10J4 systems must be swapped in, which will cost more than value of the car (such conversions are not for the fainthearted or those working with limited budget).

If you are interested in buying a Peugeot 407 and you know nothing about modern Peugeot Vehicle systems, do not go and make purchase without Pre-purchase inspections by someone that understands those systems. If you do, don't come back crying for help if you end up with such severe abused 407 and expect sympathy or even empathy from me when the nightmares starts. You were warned before hand.

If you already own a Peugeot 407 with the EW10A Engine and considering doing the stupid conversion to EW10J4 engine in abused manner, it's better for to take the lion to a Peugeot technician that understands the system to fix the lion or sell the car and buy one with EW10J4 engine from factory (unless converted outside Nigeria properly). The cost of doing the conversion properly can buy you another 407 in good condition, unless you are hardcore enthusiast like me who spend with heart in conversion, not with head. If you ignore this advice and do it wrongly as these local Nigerian mechanics usually suggest to users, you will learn the hard way (probably better for you).

I honestly don't see anything wrong with this dreaded EW10A. It has more power than EW10J4 and still consume less than the EW10J4. Parts are available and not so pricey. As long as you maintain the EW10A DO'S & DONTs, the Engine will serve you perfectly well like the EW10J4 every Nigerian is praising. 99% users of the EW10A are running 20w-50 & 15W-50 oil weights in the Engine, when Peugeot specifically recommended only 5w-40 for the Engine, which fortunately is abundantly available in Nigeria. Yet they will start complaining their EW10A Engines don't last or always giving issues. One thing that Engine hates is abuse, both mechanically and Electrically, which most users enjoy doing and expecting different feedback from their Engines.

EW10A is not a perfect Engine (has its strengths and weaknesses), and so does the EW10J4. I know some Peugeot 407 users with EW10A Engines that are truly enjoying their lions for years I have known them. If you are not enjoying yours, the problem is not your Engine or your vehicle. Look inward.
