Cryomancer:


Thanks Boss, I have parked the vehicle for now to avoid worsening the situation.

Driving it with the faulty knock sensor, can it knock the engine?

No, your car would simply go into limp mode.

"Check your brake pedal and master for any foreign materials. Take them out if there is any." Remember i told u i changed the master. so, there is no foreign material. i will have the mechanic check the brake pedal. Thanks

At this point remote diagnosis would be impossible. Your brake system (with ABS delete) is not rocket science for it to be difficult to diagnose and fix.
I'd suggest you look for a competent mechanic in Abuja to help with it.

Cryomancer:
Good evening House.

Please I scanned my vehicle and got these codes in the below picture. Vehicle have been facing a struggling acceleration most times when driving.

any tips will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Focus on the knock sensor code

honsule:


Thanks. Before i changed the master, brake pedal sinks to the floor. But when i changed it, works okay now and the brake was properly bled. No ABS

Check all what I listed.
Also check caliper slide pins as well.

Bullfallo:
Good day guys.

I noticed my gear now make a sound if you press the gas suddenly from stop after a shif.

Car is automatic and Honda Accord.

Let me explain. If you shift to reverse and press the gas too sudden it will make a loud sound like something that uses force to engage. But if you press the gas gently it will not make that sound. Its the same thing with drive if you shift to drive and press the gas too sudden.

But if you go gently for it to first engage it will not make that sound. And you can press it as you like. It’s only does that if you shift it and go too hard but once it engage no more sound.

Outside this gear run fine

Check all the mounts in the car (engine and transmission) and replace if bad.
Also check your drive shaft and replace anyone with clearance or excessive play.

Good morning.
I have Toyota corolla S, 2005. Automatic Transmission. I noticed the driver side brake disk is usually very hot, compare to the passenger side. (by pouring water, the driver side brake disk will sound as if u are frying plantain grin ) . my first mechanic told me the caliper is faulty. Hence i bought a BELGIUM Caliper, that didn't solve the issue. He now said, lets change master break. That it could be faulty. I bought New master brake, it didn't solve the issue. I also bought quality brake pad, still it didn't solve the issue(HE WAS DOING TRIAL AND ERROR -making me to spend money unnecessarily). So, i decided to visit another mechanic and via personal research online i discovered that bad rotors can make disk to be hot. i changed that specific side of the rotor, still it gets hot compare to the passenger side which is barely hot(Though the squeaking, squealing, and grinding sound stopped). what do you think could be the problem for the hotness. pls NOTE The following things that i replaced: 1. Caliper, 2. Brake pad, 3. Master Break, 4. Rotor.

The affected wheel is the closest wheel to the brak master. If you've changed all what you've listed and the problem still persist then the issues are likely elsewhere.
Kazeems are known to add extra layers of rubber and cloth materials in the rod that depressess the brake master when you step on the brakes. This reduces travel time on the pedal but creates unnecessary pressure in the brake line even with your foot off the pedal.
They are also known to adjust the brake pedals abnormally for same reasons.
Check your brake pedal and master for any foreign materials. Take them out if there is any.
You should also properly bleed the brake system (ABS inclusive if your car has one) as it can cause same issues.

Such a lovely experience with so much to learn from.
I've been there twice.

Check your fuel injectors 1st. A live data stream would help you know what's happening real time with your system.

I wish we could have someone

In a big city like Lagos?
You've been searching in the wrong places.

masciv:

Recently noticed my fuel consumption is astronomical.

Ltft shows above 23% on both bank 1 and 2.
Stft fluctuates between -5 to -9% on both banks.
No error codes but I can smell unburnt fuel in the exhaust. I haven't seen the car from behind so I can't tell if there's black smoke from exhaust.
My O2S voltage is also hovering around 0.6-0.8mv so I know I'm technically in a rich condition but the ECU hasn't thrown in a code yet.

Prior to this, I noticed some slight and almost unnoticeable response in acceleration especially with the AC on. My fuel gauge also has some delay when I top up gas and can take as much as 10-15 minutes to get up to the right level. Also, it can remain in one position for a while and then suddenly drop to the right level after some driving giving me heartbreak when I think I still got fuel.

I changed the air filter yesterday and cleaned the PCV and engine is more responsive but the fuel delivery is too high.

What do you think I could do in this condition?

You didn't state what car it is.
Check your injector nozzle to see if it's leaking or has a poor spray pattern.

chukel:
if this is not a joke, then it's illiteracy

You go explain tire sir.
One up there said changing filters during oil change is a scam.

galaxi:
From your replies it seems your just interested in people that will validate that it can be repaired.

I have been a victim of this situation and at the end of the repair expenses i ended up buying toks engine.

Unless you don’t mind those xmas light dancing on your dash board and can manage a car not operating optimally.

And what makes you think the one you bought was not rebuilt at one point before you bought it?
The fact that you had issues with yours does not mean it can't be properly rebuilt.

samuelson06:
Hello guys, when I match the brake pedal, an additional sound comes up, but which also goes once I release the brake pedal. What could be the cause, please? The car is Ford Focus 2009.

Can anyone here help me to buy my car AC Evaporator please? I can't find it in my city and I don't stay in Lagos. I can send you both the video and pictures of the unit.

Remote diagnosis for the brake sound would be practically impossible unless maybe you send a video.
Where's your location?
Kindly call 07089030689 for further assistance.

flyingdagger:
Thanks, how do I do that please?

You'll need a technician with a cooling system pressure tester to carry out the test.

flyingdagger:

I have a nagging issue with overheating on my Lexus es300, it overheated and mechanic worked on it but then I carelessly forgot to close the cover when topping water and it overheated again.

Luckily I noticed the temperature and shut the engine on time, mechanic came, check it and said everything was okay and topped the water. wahala now is notice the coolant reserve boiling steaming hot when I after like 40 minutes of driving with the AC.

The water returns back to the reserve with the temptature needle still in the middle also.

What can do to fix this?

Pressure test the cooling system to know what's faulty.

Penboy:


Thank you sir.
Please dyou have a price range for it please?
I have no idea make this mechanic no rip me.

If you do not trust the technician handling your car, why use him/her?

lawmanlala:

No, it was not reducing

I guess you're used to driving cars that burns oil.
Change your oil religiously to keep enjoying your car.

I need a very good electrician to start my 2013 Dodge Ram. The kick has an issue and I need it fixed asap in Lagos around Iyana Ipaja.

Kindly call 07089030689.
I'm at Abule Egba.

Fieryblaze:
I need a very good mechanic between Lekki - Sangotedo strip. I am tired of Mechanics, I just need someone that is honest for God's sake. Why can't we just be honest in this country, charge me whatever amount for your workmanship but tell me actual price of parts and buy original For God's sake. Mechanics are just wicked, and heartless.
PS: Please is it advisable to buy Brand New Steering Pump or Tokunbo? Please Mechos in the house reach out biko🙏 (Please be honest🙏🙏)

When buying anything that pump's (power steering pump, AC compressor, oil pump etc) and shock absorbers, your best bet is new and OEM.
Feel free to call 07089030689 if you need professional help with your car issues.

Abbeyismo:

Kindly scan your transmission

Good morning Everyone.

What could be the reason for my car jerking when I’m accelerating especially when it’s changing gears

Mechanic said it’s fuel pump and nozzle. I’ve fixed that but still jerking.

I use a Toyota Camry muscle.

Thanks for your response.

You should have started your diagnosis with a simple scan.

Joeeasy:


Yep, I import most of the replacement OEM parts, the car has not run without an Octane booster and valve cleaner since I got it, I guess my mistake was allowing them to buy the oil and filter locally during the last oil change.

There were no check engine codes or oil pressure warnings. The new engine installation should be complete by the end of this week tho.

The video you made sounded more like the bearings chewing itself out due to oil starvation. Most likely from the use of a fake oil filter or improper fitting of the filter and not necessarily from the oil used.
There might be no check light on the dash, but your oil pressure light (if it still works) should be on.

So far, once the ignition is leave on for awhile and try to start, it start fine .

You have a bad fuel pressure regulator.
Change complete fuel pump assembly.

This is how it should be done.

Good morning. I own a Toyota Camry 2008.
Most times when I reverse early in the morning, the car makes some noise around the tyre and then when I drive it stops and maybe when I use the brake often in speed bumps, it makes noise.

So I went to the mechanic and I was told that the shaft and hub was the problem. I changed the shaft and they fixed the hub.

Just less than 5 hours of driving, it started again.
What could be the problem.
It’s getting worrisome for me cos i don’t know what the problem is and I fear it shouldn’t affect something else in the vehicle.


I’d really appreciate a response.
Thank you 🙏🏾

Wow!
Your mechanic should be flogged.
From your description, you seem to be having a brake screeching noise. If that's the case, inspect your brake pads, lock pin and or brake shinguards, and also brake discs. Replace and or adjust defective parts.

GAZZUZZ:


I like this mechanic


Since you do t have any codes, then it is not electronics , look into possible mechanical issues like low fuel pressure .

The mechanic want make the issue escalate so it would be worth fixing
