Point noted.

So what are the sellers supposed to do about that?
Let you test drive the car for a week?

I can vouch for what I am selling to you sir.
If you come for inspection and you sniff the faintest whiff of a dysfunctionality in this vehicle,you get a refund on your transport cost.

Hello gazzuzz.. Good Morning

Been hearing some cracking sounds inside my tank, immediately after I park. It stops after few minutes though. Ran a diagnostic on the check light ive been receiving and got a P0441, P0455 and P0741.

The first two was about Evap system issue and the other was Torque converter clutch circuit. It's a Corolla 05.

Please what's the best way to approach this?

Gazzuzz Pls two plugs aint firing in my camry 08 v6. The electrical says its brainbox. I am wondering if it cld be true. If it true can i fix it or just buy a new one

Denn:
Thanks for the input Gazzuzz.

The 2007 Hyundai Elantra is very similar to the 2007/8 Kia Cerato and even shares similar power train and layout.... exhaust manifold in front and intake manifold from the rear of the engine.

The 2013 Kia Rio on the other hand has a completely opposite layout with intake in front and exhaust at the rear.

Vehicles with exhaust manifolds in front have their exhausts modded to flow under the engine around the beam, rack and other components all the way through the bulkhead.

This would involve modifying the steering rack set up, fabricating a lower beam as the Elantra or cerato is wider, and hammering the bulkhead to pave way for the exhaust pipes.

The current set up has the steering rack directly sitting in any space the proposed exhaust might try to snake through and the opening on the body for the exhaust extremely higher than the beam to allow for the default exhaust to just slip out straight to the back without any bends.

Infact, I bought a 2007 Kia Cerato just to do this and saw all these issues.

The 2009 Kia Cerato on the other hand has the first iteration of the same engine in the 2013 Kia Rio with a plastic intake manifold in the front and the exhaust at the rear. Infact, my brief glance tells me it is the same block, save for difference in displacements....the same block I am trying to run away from. The major difference I noticed is that the 2009 is a drive by cable while the 2013 is a drive by wire.

Hello @Guzzuzz
Please I need help.
I just replaced the engine to my 2005 accord v6 but the car won't start because the key sign kept flashing on the dashboard. An electrician was called and after much checks it was discovered that the ECU was fried. The bridging wires thought to be the culprits were properly insulated and a replacement ECU was brought in but immediately the battery was fixed the second ECU got fried in the same location as the first one.
Please see attached picture and give your professional advice.

Warm regard
