Chairman Gazzuz, I thank God for ur life, even though u have a very busy schedule u still make out time to answer peoples queries and solving so many people's problems and at d same time teaching so many people plenty plenty things, this thread is an eye opening thread. May God continue to bless u,

I intend visiting your workshop for a Gazzuz touch on my car, since I got it I hv been d one doing repairs to it, I have vowed not to patronize any kazeem again in my life. Can I come on Monday?

My car vibrates on idle when d ac is on, though I had the following codes

P2185
P0141
P0325
P0172

I just scanned it and got 2 more codes

P1121
P0171

I hv tried getting a good knock sensor to no avail
I hv looked for where to get an 02 sensor adapter for the bank 1 sensor 2, no success yet, I think both 02 sensors need cleaning anyway, but ur expert eye will see better, I will change the engine air filter today, the fuel pump I got on Thursday didn't fit well, will change it today, but I still need u to touch my car. Pls let me know if I can come on Monday. Thanks and God bless u. More anointing to ur mussle, more success to ur hussle

Sometime back, my key remote stopped working, I felt it was d battery in d remote, I got any battery and changed it a few days ago, but, it still.refused to work,

any ideas on what I can do to get it working again?

Thanks
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kcbaba007: 9:17pm On Dec 05, 2018
Thanks for this suggestion,
I had to check d fuse box under d dash after I had remotely powered the power window motors independently, I discovered that d fuse for passenger windows was not having a positive feed, I then gave it the positive feed, initially, d rear window behind d drivers seat and d front passenger window worked fine, but, eventually, the rear window behind d drivers seat stopped working, but continued giving me d clicking sound, don't know what went wrong again, presently,
after d fuse work, both windows in front are working, but d rear windows aren't, but only gives me d clicking sound, I think, I will try ur method out and see if it works, if it doesn't, I will have to change d main power window switch on d driver's side. Perhaps, that also, might be d culprit.

adanny01:
If you get clicks on the door you try to operate, it means there is power to that door.

I have experienced similar problem with my EOD but not on 3 windows like you, mine was just one rear right window. In my own case, the window stopped operating while fully down. Took it for repairs, immediately the winding mechanism was removed and plugged to power, it worked perfectly. Putting everything back it worked like magic at the workshop but immediately i left, it stopped again. An electrician later checked the motor brushes but they were not worn out. The was nothing to be done as it keeps stopping and starting at will. Because of the frequency of the problem especially stopping when the glass is down i disconnected the window for half a year. I knew how to dismantle the window and put it back.

Just like you, i only get çlicks from the window when it stops. The solution to my problem was greasing and cleaning the brush contact to amateur. Its over 6 months now and its still working when mechanics said i needed to buy a new winding mechanism.

Let me explain how the click works, the window is supposed to click only when limits are reached. The system has a something i cant easily explain like a "torque limiter" (my assumption). It works by way of knowing that the window has reached a limit when the normal force applied to move the window has been overcomed by a force stopping it. It clicks to stop supply of power so as not to damage or over work the motor. This means that in normal operation, the window clicks at the top limit as well as the bottom limit. My conclusion was that anything that causes the window to click when it has ample allowances to move is either from the mechanism or window rail. It means the system cannot overcome the force to push or pull the window.

In my own case removing the 3 bolts holding the motor housing in place will just allow the window to work like magic. If i bolt the motor housing back, it stops soon afterwards. So i localized my problem to the motor housing area. I greased the cable winder and the improved the brush contact making the motor stronger.

I suggest you take out one of the mechanism and try it without load.

I just have not been able to actually get where d problem is coming from

adanny01:
Come oh! There is a switch on the drivers door that stops all 3 windows from operating. The drivers window is excluded and this sounds like that button was pressed.

Press the button to turn it off then try again.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kcbaba007: 11:23pm On Dec 02, 2018
Boss, that button is not the issue, let me analyse it for u
When u press down d power button, and try controlling either of d windows from.d driver side, the clicking sound stops, but when u put off d power button, and try controlling either of d windows from d driver's side it clicks, I feel, a line has been bridged, and I feel d problem is coming from.the driver's side.

if the fuses are ruled out then it may be the motor, but it's unlikely that it will go bad all at the same time. I will suggest you check the fuses again.
Thanks for your response, I have checked all the fuses and they are intact, checked the electric window motors, they are also intact, what baffled me is that the 3 window operations went kaput dsame time, but d driver window kept working fine, I'm.suspecting that d main power switch on the driver's side is d culprit
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kcbaba007: 3:23pm On Nov 27, 2018
Help, my Honda EOD's passenger power windows does not operate, only d driver power window works, it just happened that these windows usy stopped working at the same time, when I try controlling it from d driver power window, all I get is a clicking sound from the three power windows, but it won't respond, if I try operating the windows s individually, they don't respond too, have checked all d fuses, and they are intact. Anyone with similar experience, and probable solution should pls help me out. Thanks

Boss, that is why am on this thread, to learn, pls, tell me how to check for a good IACV, my car has been idling high, between 1500-2000rpm, this is the 3rd IACV I am changing, yet, no difference, I unplugged d present IACV,
and tried to manually reduce the rpm in order to confirm that I don't have any vacuum leak, and I was able to bring it down to between 1000-1300rpm, this shows that d problem is from the IACV, just my assertion though, abi, wetin I know when I HV plenty gurus in the house

Abeg, help a broda in need. Thanks and God bless. More so, oga gazzuz and other car techs in the house, my previous query has not received answer o! Abeg o, make una answer me, you might be saving someone's life by doing so. Thanks again
Thank God, olisa m'binigwe thanks sir, problem was eventually solved I was able to fix the car today, even without getting any other IACV, I and my partner worked together and eventually found a solution to it. RPM back to normal.

I appreciate Gazzuz for putting up.this thread, and thumbs up for all d car techs here for contributing in solving people's problem, you all are partners in progress and success.

GAZZUZZ:
IAVC, has an electronic motor and a mechanical valve. Testing the IACV is possible, but if you are able to understand it, you would not be on this thread.

The knock sensor produces A.C voltage when it vibrates, tap repeatedly and see if you can generate about 5v a.c, again if you can do this, you will not be on this thread.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kcbaba007: 2:36am On Oct 12, 2018
Good day Gazzuz, I am still expecting a reply to my query, I previously asked you the question on the other thread " when it's time to return to factory specs" you asked me to ask the question on this thread which I did.

Also, I would like to know how to test if an IACV is working at the point of sale? cos I got one from ladipo, put it in my vehicle, but the problem still persists....

Also, how do one test a tokunbo knock sensor to know if it's okay at d point of sale?

Thanks

Sir, Gazzuzz, you are a blessing indeed, I appreciate other experienced car techs in the house, pls, could u give us some examples of mineral lubrication oils that will be effective as per cars?
e.g, I use a Honda accord 2005 model, I am.presently bringing it back to factory order, but skeptical about the lubrication oil to use, something within was actually telling me not to use d manufacturer's recommended oil

Second question sir, what if the oil strainer is cleaned out and sludge removed from the engine, will it be able to accommodate d manufacturer's recommended lubricating oil?

Third question sir, forgive me of my inquisitive nature, will it be wise to flush d engine to get rid of sludge?

Gazzuzz and other car tech gurus in the house, I appreciate your eye opening works here, I HV been greatly oriented, in fact, I have been taking notes, anyways, gazzuz, you have not answered my query on the other thread " when it's time to return to factory specs" your answers will be a big enlightenment to people that eventually bought naija used cars and a caution for people with toks cars.

And yes! The car was heavily kazeemized, d IACV was blocked just as u has posited, it caused unnecessary vibrations, kazeem had used d thermostat for lunch, and had also taken d catalytic converter for breakfast, I just had to order for a new IACV, knock sensor, TPS, the upstream and down stream O2 sensors, engine air filter, cabin air filter, thermistor, thermostat, and an O2 spacer, I just hope after doing all this, the engine will bounce back.

Now to what finally killed the camry 2003 engine.

I pulled this pic from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/4683700/toyota-4runner-2007-1gr-fe-fix/1

this is a typical example of why you should not pour full synthetic oil into an engine that has been abused.

remember we talked about how sludge gradually builds up in the engine, well sludge if left alone, does not cause any immediate harm,in most cases engine death is slow but sure.

Now this is what happens when you pour synthetic oil into an engine with a great amount of sludge.

Full synthetic engine oils have cleaning additives, they work like detergents, and are able to break down accumulated sludge in the engine very quickly. The ability of full synthetic oils to keep an engine clean, in a healthy engine is harmless, the particles get trapped in the oil filter and after an oil (oil and filter change) drain the process is repeated again. sadly in an abused engine it is not the same. You have rapid breakdown of sludge, it overwhelms the oil filter, clogs up the strainer at the pickup screen of the oil pump, on and no time the engine is running on low oil pressure (which explains why the oil light started flickering in traffic) ultimately from low oil pressure the engine gets starved of lubrication, becomes noisy, rattles and finally freezes up.

full synthetic oil should never be used on an engine with long term abuse. Regular and shorter oil changes with mineral oil after returning temperature settings will be a better approach, to maintaining an abused engine, if you are not ready for a replacement or a rebuild.


As to what killed the honda V6 engine.

That particular model has a very sensitive catalytic converter system. In most toyota's, with age and mileage the catalytic converter gets burnt out, but in Honda, with age mileage and abuse the converter gets blocked, a blocked converter means exhaust fumes on that particular bank do not get to leave the exhaust system with ease, the exhaust system is narrowed down to a smaller diameter, a typical example would be drinking water from a cup VS sipping water from a straw.
The effect of a blocked catalytic converter results in overburdened connecting rods, excessive heat in Cylinder head, excessive wear to valve stem seals, and a general loss of power.

It is typical to find such cars smoking excessively (white/blue smoke).

Continuous Use of engine in that state leads to a catastrophic end for said engine.

With this last post I have finally ended this story.
I trust it was beneficial to many, and I hope you are not learning the hard way.

I want to re-appreciate to The nairalander who gifted me this phone that helps me type volumes in a few minutes.

As for me, though I am a very good cook, I still can't cope with a woman that can't cook...

My woman must also be a good cook

The inability of a lady to cook speaks volumes.....
