Good evening seniors and auto experts in the house.

I sincerely need help on this.

My KIA Cerato 2010 jerks when I start it and intermittently (a little though), a Kazeem told me I needed to change the plugs which I did but the issue persists. He later said I might have to change the coil as well.

I did a scan of the engine today and the result is what is shown in the attached picture. Kindly advise on the way forward. I have done a small Google search of the P0012 scan result and I can't find the answers in those pages.

In addition, I noticed the fuel consumption is not economical.

hardbody:
I noticed that my Toyota Prado occasionally slows down while in motion and then finally splutters/jerks to a stop. Could this be anything to do with the fuel pump? After a few minutes of waiting, the car starts as soon as i crank it and then it runs for a few minutes and stalls again, especially at traffic lights. I need to be guided, please.

eopara:
hello Bro. i sent you a mail. Please i need to speak to you on this hybrid. kindly reply my mail

Woofer:
I lives around Owode-Ofada axis in Ogun state. My workplace is in lagos. For a little convenience, I'm about to get my first car. Going by the terrain of the Mowe- Ofada axis, kindly recommend a low budget car that is rugged and fit the road and the maintenances would not dig a hole in the pocket. Matured responses please.

Hi guys..

My Honda accord 2008 has its CEL on. Scanned and got codes pointing to the crankshaft sensor. Car drives smoothly only that it misfires (jerks) like once in 2 months.
Whenever this happens, the CEL starts blinking and the car goes into LIMP mode. Electricians here seem clueless about a solution - they only use the scanner to clear the CEL, after which it comes on again.

I have changed the crankshaft sensor but the while issue still persists

P.S - I also experience hard starting, especially in the mornings

Please help guys - issue is driving me nuts.

9icetoo:
No peace to embrace. I will comment.
Are you comparing the fuel economy of the Lexus es 330 to that of a corolla?
On what basis are you saying the Lexus consumes fuel?

The OP listed luxurious cars as his preference. Luxury comes at a price.

He hasn't mentioned fuel economy as a criteria.

Buy your Lexus and enjoy it OP. However, do not expect the economy of a corolla. The Lexus can give you 16-18mpg easy with city driving and more with highway driving.
Those figures I quoted are real world figures I have experienced.
There are risks with buying abroad. You could buy a car with a defective transmission or engine and the importer may not even know. Vin Check may not even tell you this as owner is selling and the garage hasn't reported it.

You could have your car damaged at the port by these useless port drivers. They may even tow with your car.

If your importer can physically inspect the vehicles for you before importing, then you are good on some risks.

If you don't want any of the above risks, buy from any dealer or car lot in naija here and go with a literate mechanic and a good friend.

6 eyes are better than 2.

Pls stay away from lexus, it consumes fuel

Stay away from Avalon its problems comes up every quarter

All you need is let the seller follow you to the bank, make a counter transfer and acknowledge the receipt of transfer from the bank, ask him if he got alert if he says no, follow him to his bank to confirm

But tell him this before payment and don't go alone, go with someone incase he starts behaving funny after transaction

P300, P301, P302, P303, P304.

Ogas in the house.

I presume this has to do with Ignition coil as said by the mechanic and for reaffirmation from YouTube as well.

I presume after changing the coils, the car shouldn't go off in traffic any longer my ogas at the top...

Pls help me chuk mouth

richPHAROAH:
i intend to buy ans suv this week. i noticed that Volkswagen Touareg and audi Q7 are actually cheap compared to other suv with same specs.
i am more interested in the audi q7.
why dont nigerians buy these cars.
outside nigeria, audi is regarded high class.
an example is the car in the pic. 2010 foreign used for 3.5 mill

Lavisha:
Thanks for your response sir.
I just left the workshop now, after test driving, the mech check the fluids and said transmission was too much.
So, he reduced it and flush the nozzles then we went for a drive again and everything seem normal again.

Skinnienigga:
Hello boss Gazzuzz, I just got a Nigerian used VW Tiguan 2010 but yesterday night while trying to switch lanes in hold up, the car stalled and the nearby kazeem said my timing belt cut.

Please what do I do? I hear timing belt issues equal to engine death. Is it the same with this vehicle?

autolearner:
Good Morning Oga Gazzuzz,

I’ve been trying to get an appointment for the Honda since Wednesday as discussed.

Any luck for today?

CutieKing:
That's the point....they have equipments they obviously lack the technical know how to operate.Their so called Russian advanced radar couldn't identify passenger plane from that of military.
God forbid war breaks out, Iran would just kill all their citizens thinking they are targeting an enemy .so sad.
More reason they have no business having a nuclear weapons.

Your gear cable might be the culprit. If the cable snaps, gear knob will shift but it won't have any effect on the engine author=lexini post=85496543]Good afternoon Gazzuz

Happy new year

2003 Toyota Corolla - vehicle was in motion and then there was a loud noise (like something cut) and next thing, gear wasn’t responding again.

It selects from inside the car but no movement.

Please advise.
Thank you

Lavisha:
Good pm, Oga Gazz.
Yesterday, I drove my Honda Accord 07(4plugs) from Lagos to Abuja and the ride wasn't so smooth.
From Lagos everything was perfect until I get to Osun, I discovered the car wasn't accelerating as normal i.e it's taking time before it select gears and as things get worse, small noticeable sound like blop-blop was coming from the engine chamber so I stopped and get a road mechanic to check, to my surprise: the mech guy told me to change the gear, I just told him thanks and zoomed off!
I discoverd each time the problem above problem starts, I just park; switch off the ignition and switch on again and lo, everything will be perfect for another 70km before I repeat and that was how I get to Abuja.
I called my mech back in Lagos, he said I should change the transmission oil and everything will be fine.
Prior to the journey, the Lagos mech serviced the car and told me to change the transaction oil, also change the plugs at next service but I didn't change the oil due to his antics of ripping me off.
My bad tho, now in the city, the car seem to be normal again but I know inside of me- it's not 100% okay.
What could be the problem pls?

BarrSly:
Haha haha you’re so funny but apparently this is exactly what would be comfortable with me
