It has no throttle cable, but electronic.
From one mechanic to another, and all are saying change the brainbox, change throttle sensor, and the throttle body.
Car is 5years old. Bought brand new and only changed clutch fibre and brake pads.

Help a brother please.

P2122
P2127
P2138

Car Talk › Nissan Sunny 2007-2010 P2122 And P2127 No Acceleration. by GAZZUZZ(op):
Driver calls in, states vehicle RPM is @ 1.7rpm steady and he's unable to drive the car. I tell him to take out the battery and leave it for a few minutes and try again.

trys it again same thing.

Driver scans vehicle, scan reveals P2122 and P2127 the codes are permanent codes.

it's a weekend and I am very busy so I ask him to find a way to move car down to the workshop from ajah (law sch).

he finds a way (Don't know how he did it) and sat morning car is in front of workshop.

I decide to do a quick 15min assessment of the associated symptoms

Plugged Scanner scanned...... codes.. www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034971_img201810280636019_jpeg09a2fbc44ad4b02f2594b284c6befecd

Clear codes, but re-scan and same codes pop up again. Meaning code is permanent.

So I take out the Throttle pedal and Inspect the potentiometer, I was hoping to find fluids or corrosion or a damaged contact inside. (Sorry no pics for that), found nothing.

put it back together, adjusted the contacts a hoped it would start working again (fluke things grin ) same thing, no response from accelerator pedal with engine running. cry

My 15mins was up, I had a wedding to attend, so I abandoned it and headed home.

Church wedding over, sitting in reception, but my mind is still on the nissan. I receive a call about a client who wants to pick up his vehicle, but they can't find the keys, I tap my pocket and the keys are with me. sad leaving Mrs Gazzuzz in reception I head back to workshop (5mins drive) drop off key, and did another 15min check on nissan again. This time live scan, checked input voltage when pedal depressed, readings varied according to pedal positions (meaning pedal was fine)

But output readings on throttle body when pedal depressed were static. So I just assumed a faulty Engine ecu undecided

Next plan was to find someone who had conquered this error and find out how it was conquered.

Placed an Sms to my Oga patapata of Nissan, I was very vague in my explanation but His response was "you might have to change the unit"

next I called my Oga in Nnewi he said same thing, that he just solved one same way.

I was having hope small small... next thing phone rings..... Its the Mrs.

I abandoned ship again. Went back to reception and my people were ready to go. On my way home, I called another Oga in PH, he said it's a wiring problem check harness, said he had seen similar issue and it was a wiring problem.

my head is now full.

5:46pm I message Uncle Autoelectng gave him a brief description of the problem, and asked if he had experienced same type of issue he said yes, but it was a transmission related fault. He promised to get back to me.
ill tell you one thing about Uncle, he likes all the info. Model year, engine type, production year, transmission type, etc, last last I sent him the vin and messages were quiet for a while.

In the morning 5am I opened my messages and saw a video link Autoelectng sent, it was not in English, but I understood "mechanic" (it's a universal language)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kn992Ci8UyE

His message was sent 2:41am.

5:52am I was out of the house straight to the workshop.

This is now a full explanation of what the issue is and how it was solved.

There is a rubber stud at the base of the accelerator pedal, with time it disintegrates (carefully looking at the floor mat you will see the remains)

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034947_img201810280627127_jpegd96798d6a4c03ada9159d9bc39f738d9

when this happens, the app sensor on the pedal gives off a higher than usual resistance @ idle. The engine ecu has set parameters for the operation of the throttle pedal sensor, and any slight deviation from parameters throws a circuit code and disables the function of the pedal (That's why we love toyota grin).

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034948_img201810280628146_jpegb04d04f419d21a4d2bf74866b55e6961

Looking closely at the pic above you will notice a large hole with no rubber stud top left and pedal resting on base (you need to understand "mechanic"wink

First plan was to test an see if this would work.

Got a good old used slippers (saving technicians since 1801)

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034950_img201810280629168_jpeg9a6a0e821173841a792c338c3832b419.

pinned it behind the pedal base, cleared codes and for the first time since this problem started, I went back to read codes and they were gone shocked

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034972_img201810280634321_jpegcc227ba298ab28a648c9cd93e10873f3

Started car and pedal worked perfectly, idle back to normal.

So I say to my self, how will I ensure this 1801 saver remains in place without falling? huh Or should I just re-design the pedal?

I vex and brought out my welding machine and a 10mm nut, welded it to the base of the pedal and installed a screwed a 10mm bolt in place to allow pedal rest on bolt grin this was more like killing an Ant with a sledge hammer.

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8034982_img201810280645023_jpegbe823ccb87031fe7245ca01865226607

Looked good and firm, tested it and it worked, but long term, metal to metal contact without any lubrication will cause a small dent that will grow, it might take several years, but it would happen.

So I decided to use the rubber stud, and place it inside the 10mm bolt, it was a very firm fit, I had to pull really hard and finally it sat perfect, not requiring glue to hold it in place (but I sha put o!)

www.nairaland.com/attachments/8035014_img201810280630215_jpegcf7928aa3f6421d6f88ec0ac64f5eb75

Tested and it worked perfectly. Phone rings it's wife : Hello baby you have the key of the IX with you? I tap my pocket angry have to run home cheesy

Thanks for viewing.

Oga GAZZUZZ,
On my 2010 KIA Optima, when started in the morning it doesn't supply current to the 3rd plug - as identified by auto electrician (changed plug and coil, no way), auto electrician said it's a brain box issue, unfortunately if I drive the car for like 10/15mins the problem goes away, hence, his brain box suggestion doesn't seem logical to me. Any ideas please...
Engine ecu fault. It can be fixed, it can be replaced.

I had this kind of error some weeks ago. I wouldn't have known if not that a rider insisted that she has never used card payment before. Subsequent trips happened the same way but I was lucky the first rider called my attention to it.
question? When trip ends, does it reflect as cash trip or card trip.

Something funny is happening here my people, just dropped this woman that was speaking phonetics throughout the journey. I already saw it's card trip I told her immediately I ended the trip.
She said it's not card trip that she have never used card before, I meant to go she insists I give her my account number. I did and she transferred the #2200.
What do I do?
I actually succumbed to her pressure and gave her the account details for the transfer because of my experience this morning on Uber.
Picked this man at lake view estate to landmark swipe the screen to end trip and later saw collect cash when the man was already gone.
I had to rush him and showed him he now reluctantly started giving me the money bit by bit and didn't pay the complete fair, I had to let him go because of change.
some have promo? I got a lot of free trips this week.

Goodmorning house, Oga gazzuzz and other gurus in-house,

I have been using this Honda city 2007 model for a while but recently I noticed that after staying long on traffic the high temperature sign will start flashing on the dashboard and eventually the car engine will stop running, and after 5 minutes or more it will start again.

Each time this happens, as the engine get cold I check the water on the radiator and that of reservoir, I noticed that the coolant water is always intact never shorts.

Tlhe two fans blows very well, the thermostat works well because when I first noticed this issue, I removed the thermostat and did a test on it to confirm if it actually working well. It was all good.

Pls I need advice on how to tackle this issue.

Thanks.

Hi Gazzuz

Looking to buy a 2008-2010 Mazda CX-9 on Copart for personal use.

Read reviews online and the only troubling thing I saw was that the water pump was in the center of the engine - once it fails, the engine is as good as condemned.

Is it a good buy? Are parts readily available and affordable and does it require special technicians to fix like Volvo?

How much is the engine and gear?

What do you advise?

Thanks
If it looks like trouble, feels like trouble, smells like trouble, it probably is. I am not a mazda fan.
