The initial problem was caused by the mechanic that cleaned the original spark plug he must have swapped the wires on the coils so you had multiple misfire causing your VSC light to come on. The guy who worked on the chain was the one that really nailed the coffin messing everything up.

If the timing marks on the are aligned I think he missed the timing on the oil pump there is a thread here where someone found out the timing on oil pump is crucial

Gazzuzz,

Kudos bro. I have been using ABRO ATF for my power steering and it has become just steering without power. I was advised to service the steering pump and stumbled on Honda ATF and switched. Though the steering is not still as soft, I hope using the ATF for my Accord 06 power steering will not drive me into overdraft?

Good day,

My car is a Toyota Camry 2007 model. I discovered of recent the car doesnt accelerate beyond 80-100Km/hr. The engine shudders when i try to. My mechanic says the transmission converter and pump needs to be worked on.

Please by your own vies, is this assessment correct?

Thanks

grrrhh:
That's if the car starts at all

Oh! I see . This case bad. Just find an automotive tech That will prescribe the right work to be done after proper and extensive diagnosis.

grrrhh:
We bought the car in Abj and cleaned the plugs, it drove down without any issues (only tmps and engine light). When it got down, someone did over sabi and topped the power steering oil, the power steering packed up( it was subsequently fixed), I drove to a filling station (not my regular) , to get fuel before going for a party, the car drove to the party well (15km), after the party the car started well and was moving, it now started jerking then started crawling finally it stopped, I waited and started it , it managed to crawl home. I called my local mechanic the following day, he said the fuel was bad and "has entered the engine " , we changed the fuel and oil.
The following morning as I started the car, I heard a grinding noise that subsided in less than a second (this continued up till now), the VSA and traction control light had come up, the car was lagging before accelerating, it struggled to climb hill and it was guzzling fuel, but it was still cruising. One the 31st I was driving to the village, I was in a holdup for 3hrs and my AC was on after the hold up cleared, the lost all powe and was crawling at less than 20km/h , I parked and waited for 30mins before I restarted the car, it came alive and kept moving my mech says it was the plugs , I Changed the plugs (this plugs turned out to be worse, the lost of power was occurring more frequently over shorter distances especially with AC)
I told a friend and he recommended a mechanic at onitsha, the mechanic drove the car abit he came to 3 conclusions
-Timing chain needs adjustment
-fuel pump needs changing
-nozzle needs cleaning
They scanned the car and it was dropping some camshaft codes, we changed the sensor, opened the engine block and corrected the timing chain (without a computer ), also changed the fuel pump, 4 days later and 80k poorer, we came back turned the car, the only light showing was tmps,I was ecstatic, we left the mechanics shop around 6, I hadn't driven up to 3 minutes on a hill when I heard a cranking noise, all the lights came back.
Managed it to owerri like that doing 60-80 ( it's a 90km drive)
The following day as I driving I heard another cranking noise and the lights
cleared, I detoured and took a spin doing some hard acceleration (I heard timing chain is vulnerable at high rpm), nothing happened so I drove home. The engine light still came up but the car was performing well till this last incident
You asked for it

grrrhh:
89,000km, the car was guzzling fuel,it was accelerating poorly, it couldn't climb hills, if you drive for long the engine will lose power and will need like 30 minutes to calm Down.
Also in the morning the was showing the vsa and hazard lights

captainking:
Good morning everyone.. I scanned my car.. Honda accord 2000.. V4... And it came up with P1166, p1167...and P0141... I was told it relates to o2 sensors.. So.. I checked if my sensors were working...

I want to travel from Lagos to Abuja for business. I'm planning on driving my car for the trip so I can use my car when I get to Abuja (will be moving around a lot ).

This is my first time doing this so I wanted to know if anyone here has done this before. If yes, please do you have any tips for me?
- what's the best route to take?

Lagos-> Ibadan -> Ife-> Akure-> Ibilo-> Okene-> Lokoja-> Abuja.

- How much fuel do I need (I drive a Toyota corolla)?

1 full tank will take you straight to abuja from lagos. 650km

- is it worth taking my car or should I use bus and see how I can manage myself when I get to Abj.

stuff you might have to deal with.
Police
Customs
Bad roads
Frsc
Robbers

Really need advise on this so I will be grateful if anyone can help out.

Wow that's a lot of money to spend on just A/c especially on a car that I will eventually sell and upgrade in another month or 2.... PLEASE what are the unconventional ways of keeping the idle steady when the a.c is on

teesoft02:
Please GAZZUZZ where can I get a trusted brand new automatic compressor?

teesoft02:
Please I need help, my camry 2007 le compressor stopped working last month and decided to change it after couple of days when I couldnt deal either the heat around anymore.

When I finally met with the guy I insisted on automatic compressor and he said no I should opt for manual compressor after going different places and hearing the same i finally settled for the manual because I couldn't afford to buy automatic for 85k (which by the way is how much it costs now at least in Ondo state) and then it get spoilt in a month or 2...wish i wasn't away from Lag at the moment...

Now it's been almost 2 weeks since it was fixed and my car is rmp drops WAY below normal and sometimes it drops to a point where all electrical system restart even the dashboard lights, and the car vibrate like crazy, it has bad engine mount that I have been planning on changing before now, so you all can imagine how bad the vibration will be... this is scary for me and I don't turn on the a/c anymore...

I just want to return the manual compressor and get am automatic and pray it don't end up faulty... the thing is I was told there is no where I can get a good guaranteed automatic compressor, which is why they all keep recommending manual...

Now my question is anyone with success on getting a new automatic compressor that works just fine? Please I need help! I am tired of the car already with the crazy vibration

PLEASE HELP!!!
