alaricsaltzman: Toyota Corolla 2009.
The recommended coolant is Toyota corolla super long life coolant.
It's too pricey and hard to get.
That's why I'm asking if there's a cheaper alternative I can use like Total Coolant Your car is an OAT type, go for the genuine or any other recommended type I posted there. Mannol or Prestone. They don’t come cheap but get the work done. I don’t know of any cheaper alternative and I won’t advice for water or some random computed fluids of questionable quality. |

alaricsaltzman: Hello Kingreign, which coolant do you suggest besides Toyota Super Long Life Coolant? You did not indicate the type of coolant recommended for your car or the year of your car. Prestone coolant, Mannol coolant There are basically 4 types of coolants for cars: #1 - IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology) #2 – OAT (Organic Acid Technology) #3 – HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology) #4 – Dex-Cool. |

vivalavida: What is the difference between an AF sensor and an O2 sensor? Thought they mean the same thing? Excuse my ignorance and teach me. A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine. O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times. |

Emmyrano55: Good day, please i am using a Nissan maxima 2000 model. Recently i changed the engine but after final installation, i discovered that my car idle is very rough and at some point the car will accelerate itself then return back to normal. That is how the car kept doing, the last mechanic that came did all he could do and even serviced the 6 nozzles still no positive response. Later the mechanic asked me to replace the injector head, right now am confused so i just packed the car in front of my house. Please i need help on how it can be resolved, thank you. Your technician should get a scanner and scan that car. Then post codes here. I just hope they haven’t breached wires and it affected the ECM |

I’m not a pro-pdp person, I am not a politically inclined person, but I know God is using this to destabilize PDP for their 16years of misdeeds while he raise someone else to do his bidding of continually punishing Nigerians for the years of wickedness and non-accountability. |

Curious345: Wike is a spoilt child Wike isn’t a spoilt child! The PDP should give honour to him and also should honour their agreements. We all know he is losing relevance and he knows this too, but should PDP and Atiku fail to recognize him, they can as well kiss Rivers State goodbye. |

teeytimi: please I need help on my Honda eod on.
The car will be vibrating once you put it in gear and hold brake the vibration increases when you now on AC, it only stops when you move. I.e, when its on motion its works fine but immediately you slow down and hold brake it starts vibrating seriously.
What could be the problem.
In addition, the car does not vibrate at all when on reverse either the AC is on or not Check your engine and transmission mounts. Also, if your tachometer reads extremely low, due to any reason, it may exhibit similar symptoms. |

morakinyo20: Hi Kingreign,
I use a Camry 2010 model, I noticed recently that after parking it for a while maybe 1 or 2 days, It would not start. It did not start today after parking it for 4 days.
Once I switch on the ignition, the lights on the dashboard would show but while trying to start it I hear this cracking sound which comes from the engine/gear section upon listening closely and not from the battery.
Surprisingly, this is not a case of battery issue to me cos the battery in it is still charged but once I use another battery to jumpstart the car it comes up immediately.
The battery I removed from it (my Camry 2010), the moment I put it in another car it starts immediately as well.
Although a gear conversion was done from 22pin to 10 pin gear 11 months ago, All functionality works well with no issue including the gear and I cover a long distance of about 2 hours daily.
To save myself of the stress of changing batteries to jumpstart these days, I always remove the battery head once I am parking it for hours and put it back once I am to leave and this works well but I know this process is not suitable on long term purpose.
NOTE: A complete diagnosis has been done and nothing was seen. The plugs, alternator, air and fuel filter/injector are all in good condition and I do regular servicing of the car. It also has both security and GPS Tracker installed in it which I don't think could be the cause.
I called the man who helped replaced the gear this morning and explained the issue I am facing to him, he said it is the car hertz wire, probably their is a partial or incomplete contact, and he said it needs to be loosen and thoroughly cleaned or replaced if possible.
Please, from experience what could be wrong?
Thanks and I await your feedback I don’t have an idea what’s wrong with the car but I’d advice you have a competent car electrician check and isolate then fix that issue. |

I have a Honda Accord 05, V6. Once I turn on the AC it begins to overheat. Radiator has been checked for leaks, radiator cap replaced and some leakages detected along the thermostat system replaced as well. Still it’s overheating.
Please advise on next steps. Check radiator for blockage, check water pump, check if fans comes on when AC is turned on. |

sewenbigboi: Try changing the plug and do buy cleanser My muscle act the same and stops after changing plug Please, in this thread I try to discourage randomly throwing parts at a problem without finding out what the exact cause of that problem is. It is easier for me to tell him to check his transmission or engine mount but I do not tell him such cos I don’t want him to go waste his hard earned money and at the end of the day that is not the solution to his challenge. If you can’t abide by this principle, quit giving advise here. Thanks |
