Bros I think I see the issue there.... radiator is filled with plenty water.....haba I use same ride had that issue till I started using coolant. try it first n come back to give feedback

assuming no leak, and both fans come on with ac

walls01:
be mindful of how you speak, in the realm of the spirits ignorance means nothing. how do you know it is juju? what if it is not?

What if it is?

henryutd:
Thank God I am here.

I have a 2004 Camry. I noticed the temperature is getting above normal after engine replacement. And when it gets above normal, the acceleration rate reduced drastically.
The radiator is filled with waters but the engine is very hot. When the engine is very hot, any attempt to use AC stops the engine and engine run is very low.
Please what may be the cause?
Even before I change this engine, that has been the problem with the car. I hardly use the AC. Once I put it the engine run will come to near zero.
But the major problem now is the overheating.

honmusa:
It is still a possibility for said described issue by the op ,I cant give a definite diagnoses based on customer observation alone cos such data is not always accurate and objective. Hence physical inspection done by the expert is non- negotiable for diagnosis.

so you are not sure again?

You said Copy and paste Kids,
You may be talking to someone older and am not saying am a Pro in auto world...
Try to respect people online..Everyone on this forum is here to learn and not to form a boss.
If you can't correct positively,just walk away

honmusa:
@ops ,a customer brought this same issue to me yesterday,a Sienna 1MZ-Fe engine and I discovered that it is related to a loosed throttle cable .check the nuts holding the cable ,they are loosed .

You seem so certain

obafemee80:
Thank for pointing out the mistake...I know and have seen turbocharged petrol engines,but what it simply means is that turbocharging a petrol engine is not as rewarding as a diesel engine.Pointing out the mistake in an honourable way would have been better and not talking as if both of you can use your brain to build/design a car/engine components



May Allah forgive you esp. during this season.This is one of the dumbest post have seen on Nairaland



Copy and pastes Kid ?
I only come online to share all these cos some are willing to know and probably save them from their fraudulent mechanics...I want you to know that 'Pride always goes before a fall' and I pray you don't go that way
I know am not a motor mechanic or pro,but their is hardly what you know that I don't know and even have a Uni.Cert to show for it.

Gud evening boss.
i use a well maintained 07Accord V6. Haven't really had any serious issues so far. However last weekend I drove to asaba from Yenagoa (wit my fam so I neva exceeded 120km/hr), 2 hours into the journey the car jerked 3times while I was doing abt 80km/hr, abt 30mins Lata it jerked again n stopped the steering was stiff n battery lite came on the dash, naturally I thot it was a fan belt issues but wen I opened the bonnet the belt was ok. car came back to life n worked well once I switched it off n back on. I ran a scan later that day wit my "baby scanner" wit no error code. Next day abt 2 hrs on the journey back I experienced same jerk but it didn't stop. I also noticed a small burning smell in the car at some point during the journey, I wudnt hv thot much of it but my wife noticed it too. Car has been behaving well since I got back but I'm worried abt driving out of town. My kazzem has no clue wia to begin troubleshooting from. Pls wot cud be the problem as I'm a "prevention is better than cure" kinda person.
Thanks.

Pls how much is the compressor of 2003 Mercedes E320?

Specialist900:
this is a better explanation. Cos I was marveled when I searched and didn't see. I still feel it might have been yanked off by our electrician. The engine is a 1.8l vtec. It looks more like a civic engine

Accord with a 1.8liter?

Specialist900:
his was imported from dubai and so wasn't converted. I even had to resort to YouTube to locate the port. I checked where YouTube said it will be but couldn't find it still

Another thing with the car was I also looked for the O2 sensor but couldn't find it. That car is weird

rexfada:
Hello great minds,

I recently got a Nigerian used Toyota camry temperlite with v6 engine.

So I started hearing some noise like the exhaust was leaking from the bottom of the ride, the more I drive the vehicle, the more the sound increases. Someone looked at it and thinks it's the exhaust net that is not there, and probably the exhaust has a leakage somewhere, so we got the net from Ladipo market (Lagos).

When the guy (panel beater) got to work, he discovered the net was ok, but he tried and close every opening in the exhaust system.

When he brought the car back in the evening and explain all that to me, the car now developed a new issue;it started revving (firing) itself.
So, we took it to a muchanic to help us diagnose why the rev, the mechanic concluded the exhaust is blocked, that we need to fix Catalytic Converter (catalyst). We got the cat yesterday from thesame Ladipo, after fixing it, unfortunately the rev remained.
So, I'm totally distraught right now. Where could the issue be coming from, what could be the cause?

The panel beater is suggesting we take the ride to a mechanic in Ladipo, but I want to avoid him and his suggestions henceforth, before it'll lead to something bigger. The ride never had this issue prior to when he worked on the exhaust.

Mind you, the car is still very much driveable, and the earlier sound from the exhaust is gone.

Experts in the house, what do I need to do about it please?? Someone help!!

Hello Mr Gazzuzz,

I have a Honda Accord 03 which starts to wobble anytime my speed goes over 40 KPH. I have changed my tyres and I just recently replaced the ball joints and tie rods. I'm at a loss at what might be the cause of this. My mechanic suggested that it might be the shaft head but I am not convinced. Can you please help?

Thank you.

Specialist900:
I remember looking for the obdII port in my friends 99 accord UK. I no see. I later told him maybe his has been chopped off

you were looking in the wrong place

It is originally on the right as a converted car!! Check under glove box it would have been dangling somewhere there
