Hello Mr Gazzuzz, i want you to help me perform comprehensive diagnostics on my camry muscle. When are you available and i dont have your contact. Could you DM me

HazzanTazzan:
@all
So I finally got my Nissan altima 2.5, scanned today after using it for 3 months...
I'm sure oga Gazzuzz and diportivo remembers me well from my Nissan thread...
I was complaining of hard start back then..
Sometimes, the car starts normally for a period of time (a week maybe) without any form of hard start... It starts once...
Sometimes it just begins the hard start again and starts only after 3 or more tries...
However, its been working fine for over a week now but I just decided to get it scanned.
The scan codes are attached below..

Now my issue is which one of these codes could be causing the ocassional hard start?

I Dont want these mechanics to start putting hand where it isn't necessary...

What advise will you give me on repair?
Thanks

connkg:
Sorry to come in at a tangent...

How do you know the interior of this clean-looking toks? Things like mileage covered, age, condition of its timing belt?

This engine arrived in its true state (no washing)

Things to look out for that would tell you if engine is high mileage or defective.

1. Oil leaks: check seals at cam and crankshaft areas, check valve cover seal, check (honda) Vtech solenoid areas. Any oil leaks in those areas is a sign engine is high mileage.

2. Colour of certain parts: 1.Dip stick: If metal, should be shiny like it's original production colour, if dark, it shows past user poorly maintain engine.

2: Inside valve cover: in some engines allow visual access to the camshafts from the top cover, engines with clean shiny inner parts are a yes, and those that are dark and sludgy on the inside are a NO NO.

3. Tags: timing belt replacement interval tags can help you guess the mileage of an engine, if the tag is there and engine is a v6 engine is over 120k miles, if it's a 4cylinder engine is over 100k.

4. Replacement parts: if water pump looks cleaner than engine then engine is over 100k miles if starter motor has been replaced it is possible engine was used as a taxi

5.engine oil level and colour: engine oil at the right mark with good colour tells a lot about oil burn and state of the engine.

6, oil smell: that one you will need to sniff a lot of oil to undastand.

7.coolant colour: pink yes omi! NO NO

8.engine compression: no one will allow you use any fancy tools on their engines, let a lone see the spark plugs, but you are alowed to turn the engine using a wheel spanner to get a good perspective of the amount of compression engine has.

9. Head gasket: Graphite NO metal type YES

10.Cracks and dents: when off loading engines are severely damaged in some cases, and if you do not look well you find out after engine is started that it either leaks oil, coolant or air

11. Wrong engine: it might look like your engine but will not fit in the bay. It might fit in the bay but might not start, it might start but might throw a code, ensure you know your exact engine model and number, even when you think you know it, engines from asia and America most times are not the same and will require modifications before they function properly.

12. Sniff: if it looks too good it might have been washed, so sniff and smell if you smell kerosine or petrol then nah appearance you wan buy.

I could go on and on.........

Pay a mechanic well to inspect properly from a selection of engines before paying for one, if you have no technical know how, every thing I have listed here can be manipulated and you are left with lemonade

whoislikeGod:
Please experts in the house I need your advice.
Of recent my Camry v6 xle 1998 model engine got knocked. I want to buy a direct Belgium engine to replace the old one, since they don't allow one to open the engine as to have a look of the inside before buying; how do I know a good sound one with standard crankshaft and metals intact. Thanks in anticipation.

davit:
I need to bring up this thread again cos I saw a new thing at Gazzuzz workshop today. After diagnosing and working on my car, you wont believe that the guy asked one of his boys to give my car thorough washing.
This means that no vehicle leaves his workshop dirty. Gazzuzz keep up the good work!

nurey:
That bushing no be easy work or even a days job oooo according to a mechanic I consulted. And the rains aren't helping matters at all

diportivo:

He asked questions and got honest answers before taking the plunge

He isn't somewhere changing transmission or ringing engine

Only cosmetic touch ups

I have a feeling this thread would ride to front page in a G-wagon Biturbo engine

If this makes front page, I will tell the story of how I was beaten by a mare I4 with my V6 3xxhp.

The story.
As I borrowed a friend's 2010 Toyota Camry, feeling fly with my self as I have arrived (at least other drivers didn't know it wasn't mine) I was determined to show the world how fast my V6 368hp was, the fastest car in the world.
While cruising at 100km from CMS making my way to oshodi this Sunday morning, I was dusting a lot of cars leaving them behind and it feels good, I even made mince meat of Benz E350,didnt occur to me if a driver is determined to race you then you will know car pass car.

Looking at my rear view mirror I saw this shark like car coming close, closer and then their it was, a Kia optima, I laughed, increased my speed to 120,this car didn't budge, 130, the car was on MA tail, OK no problem shebi you wan chichumchin at 150km/h,this car didn't budge, and the driver was determined to show me, now side by side, a little glimpse at the reckless driver gave me a shocker that would forever be a night mare, a woman, my heart raced.

I needed to protect my self esteem and keep my Ego intact, I pushed my baby to 160km/h damning the outcome, moved to the middle Lane to make it easy to maneuver. At 180km/h the optima was backing down and I was already afraid, I consoled my self that I would have won if I could keep up my "ahead position" getting close to iyanoworo where the airtel billboard was fixed on an island.

Checking my rear mirror and left side mirror, the optima was no where to be found about to check my right, something swish pass me, I was nearing 190km/h I didn't want to pass that cause the handling at that speed is suicidal the optima was going, going, going passed my targeted finish line and didn't wait to say good bye. I was lucky enough to see 2.0T hitched on the boot.

If you know you are the woman in this story, I have a W12 engine waiting to race you. If you are not afraid of the challenge, let's meet same day, same time I need to boost my ego back.

Gazzuzz abeg show.

nurey:
Oga MI, it won't be fair to make fun of me as I rarely make fun of people in need. The number you described, a mechanic once put a spanner there and the thing was shaking said it's not suppose to shake that's the one that recommended chassis bushing.

And the abs hasn't changed goes off but once I enter water, comes on again, once dry, goes off. Abeg help your boy in this recession problem.

Note; I am not an officer nah

Toyota Camry 2012 with P0793 code- Intermediate shaft speed sensor A.
Any tips on the cause and possible fix?

in 5 cases I saw, a rodent chewed on the wires . Remove the airfilter search the gearbox for the sensor, join the broken wire back, tape it up.
