Dear GAZZUZZ,

Good day, can the steering rack be rebuild?

Am experiencing minor leaks on my steering rack, which makes the steering to be strong.

Kindly revert.

Thanks
Yes but I do not subscribe to that kind of repair.
Family › Re: My Wife Absconded With Our Kids by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:13pm On Oct 03, 2016
taiiremide:
Thank you so much Gaborone. She took my kids to her parent's house, they're there as I speak, but my mother warned me not to step my foot in their house as they're planning something evil. I know my mother very well, she can never be wrong. I asked my ex wife to bring my kids to eatery atleast to discuss how we're going to take good care of the kids, schooling, shelter, feeding etc. But she and her family insisted I come over to their house if I want to see my kids.
You are still a boy, and not yet a man. Your mother influences decisions made in your home, and your wife tells your where to live.

as nobody gree answer me before...



I've now gotten a good tokumbo gearbox. Please advise me as to the material needed to successfully do a change.

I know the right oil to use but I need to know How many litres of oil is recommended that I buy? Remember it's recession time and that oil's price is not a small number.

Can I just refill and test drive and keep on driving without draining again (once the gearbox is confirmed working perfectly)

I Have always used dextron III in this current gearbox. Can I do a test run of the new gearbox first with dextron III and then flush and refill with ATF-DW1( although I see ATF-Z1 in the car manual)
6 cans of DW1, empty the contents of the torque converter before installing.

My break light is permanently on most of the time . this started last week after i gave it to a car wash guy to wash the underneath. Normally, if i start it and remove the hand break, the light will go off, but after a minute or so, it comes on.
your brake pads might be worn out, check brakepads.

Alright boss.
P0171 : system too lean
P0302: cylinder 2 misfire detected
P0128: coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat)
P0420: catalytic converter below threshold bank 1
P0430:catalytic converter below threshold bank 2
P0174: system too lean.

Thanks bro as you advise a possible solution for me.
Your thermostat has been removed and your fans running when engine is started.

Your 2 catalysts are faulty.

System Too Lean (Bank 1/2) means that the engine air-fuel mixture is too lean, or there is too much air and too little fuel. Driving a car with the code can cause more damage to your vehicle over time, as when the engine runs lean, the combustion temperature is much higher.


Causes of this condition could be any of the following

- Intake or vacuum leaks
- Clogged or faulty Mass Air Flow sensor
(MAF)

- Faulty PCV valve
- Stuck open purge valve/solenoid
- Faulty oxygen sensor
- Low fuel pressure
- Clogged catalytic converter

The highlighted are very common causes.


The misfires could be caused by faulty sparkplugs, faulty coils, faulty injectors or low engine compression.

Crime › Re: NDLEA Arrests Agent For Ingesting 74 Wraps Of Cocaine by GAZZUZZ(m): 2:39pm On Oct 02, 2016
eherbal:
Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu State, have arrested a clearing and forwarding agent, who ingested 74 wraps of cocaine while on his way to China.
Spokesperson for the agency, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said on Friday that the suspect,47-year-old Adibe Baloba, was caught during outward screening of passengers on an Ethiopian airline flight to China.
The NDLEA commander at the Enugu airport, Adeofe Adeyemi, was quoted as saying that the cocaine, which Adibe ingested weighed 1.417kgs.
“A second suspect, Onyechi Esonwunne, was caught attempting to send a luggage containing cannabis to China through an unsuspecting passenger. The cannabis was carefully prepared inside packs of noodles to avoid detection. Investigating officers are working hard on the cases and the suspects will soon be charged to court,” Adeofe said.
The agency said its preliminary investigation showed that Esonwunne had previously been deported twice from China – in 2008 and May 2016.
“Hardship and Nigeria’s bad economy forced me into drug trafficking. The exchange rate is very high and I hardly get money to take care of my family. My sponsor promised to pay me the sum of $5,000 to take the drug to China. But I was arrested before I could board my flight,” Adibe told NDLEA agencies in his statement.
Esonwunne also blamed Nigeria’s recession for his crime.
“I am a trader but due to the economic downturn, I turned to cannabis smuggling to cope,” he said.
The NDLEA Chairman, Muhammad Abdallah, called on members of the public to avoid collecting consignments from people.
He said it was a method widely used by drug traffickers, who target innocent passengers to smuggle drugs.

“People need to be aware of this trick because rendering such assistance may just send them to prison or worse, death. This is because drug trafficking is punishable by death in China,” Abdallah stated.
very confusing story.

Were the consignments forced into their bellies without their knowledge?

Thank you everyone that has contributed. please see below other things that happened.

1. The car was purchased as tokunbo since Feb 2015 and has been performing very fine till now that the check engine light came up and flashing.
2. I remember there was a time my mechanic said i need to change the the silencer pot but he advised that instead of changing it completely he talked something about "mofla" (I might not get the right spelling pls pardon me) and that was done, not long the check engine light came up but was not flashing.
3. After few months the engine light started flashing
4. few days weeks ago the car overheated because i forgot to lock the radiator cover and the gasket was changed (before this the check engine has been flashing)
5. Now the engine is not overheating, the coils and the spark plugs are changed, the codes were reset or cleaned.

6. But the check engine light is not off and after few minutes of driving it comes flashing and power reduce with a mild vibration.

before the silencer pot itch the engine light does not come on, the vsc light only comes on if i use a bend sharply but we go off by itsef.

I am suspecting the silencer pot I don't know if I should replace it completely.

Please what is ur suggestion.
Mehn your case Bad o!

Bros Gazzuz, good morning, I know you're pretty vast and knowledgeable in car repair. And I am pretty pleased with the good work you have put up here.

To cut long story short, my car, Toyota Camry V6 2003 shows these error codes P0171, p0174, p0302, p0420, p0430 and p0128.

And I would like to know how to read fuel consumption on a scanner. I also would love yo know the shortest path to removing these error codes. I learnt on YouTube that I can have the secondary o2 sensor spaced from the catalyst. It consumes fuels more.

Kindly assist bro. Thanks
Include all the descriptions of individual codes.

E.g P0420 catalytic converter below threshold bank 1.

There are others viewing this thread, and I would like them to benefit from this disscusion.

Haven't done any scan. Just want to have ideas before mechanics start with their guess work. I will go for the scanning anyway.
Problem is not the inhibitor switch (reverse would have worked). The Gear selector cable is out of alignment. Any good technician can put it in place easily.
