donclark: Hello Gazzuzz!
I got my 2005 Rx 330 last year...I have had several issues that has been tackled but the before I give a timeline, here's the current issue, a check engine light and VSC, last I scanned it showed a code I can't remember but the right was something like Knock Sensor Circuit High Input on bank 1 and another code that says Knock Sensor Circuit High Input on bank 2.
My electrician had previously changed the knock sensor the previous day (i didn't bother checking the code then) so when the check engine light returned, I went back and these were the error. He took off the sensors and said one of the new ones he fixed is bad so he brought another one, read it and fixed both again but the check engine light returned after a few miles. What could be the issue?
Now here's a timeline of my fix:
When I got the car, after sometime, I realised the car was struggling to accelerate or delays in changing gears due to this. Also, the car heats up alot and I was told it was cos the catalyst was blocked...ran a scan and it was catalyst issue, I took off both catalyst giving issues (the one under and the middle one) then I added spacers to all the oxygen sensors.
My car felt good again and check engine left, but after sometime, it returned back, and before I could get to my mechanic, my car stopped on the road and I realised it overheated..how come? I was shocked..started it again and managed to drive to a safe place, it turned off again and I waited for it to cool, a mechanic came and assisted in putting water the right way after over 30mins. The fan was good, I top up water like 2-3 days ago so I was shocked.
When I got to my electrician, it says no coolant, we topped up coolant and error was cleared....after some time, the light returned again and i realised car was beginning to delay a bit before accelerating. In between all these, I also noticed my AC would stop cooling and after turning it off for sometime, it begins to cool again. (This has also happened before removing catalyst).
I went to scan again and this time was when the knock sensor errors came up. So we've changed knock sensors and the check engine is back again.
Another thing I noticed again was before I removed catalyst, I had noticed my engine oil dropped low beyond both guages on the dip stick (this lasted for about 3000miles) so I felt that was fare and serviced the car with Mobil 1 in around 2nd-3rd week of Jan..(previously oil used was normal oil by ignorant Mechanics). Now less than a month later, I checked my dip stick today and the oil is just by the second gauge as if half of my oil had dried up.
I am wondering if all these are connected and what could be the problem?
NB: I checked under the car and around the engine and filter, there's no leakage. I also turned my car on, left it steaming for around 30mins and fired it, little too no smoke came off the exhaust that looked colourless (not sure about that but its as if no smoke came out the exhaust.
Please read carefully and help me understand whats wrong and what could be the fix. Thanks! Your location pls? |

henryutd: The technician told me that he changed the gear brain box during that time. And I spent much for nothing. Any idea of the cost of replacement? E replace valve body or trans filter. Transmission is going bad, replace it. Cost of replacement transmission depends on location of your vehicle. |

Casemiro: Hi all. I have some questions disturbing me about women sexuality. 1. When is a lady likely to get pregnant? 2. please I don't really understand about their monthly visitor and related stuff. How does it work, please explain like to a primary school kid. 3. how exactly is pregnancy calculated? let's say we had sex today, and she gets pregnant, will she deliver her baby exactly 9 months from today or there are some additional days or reduction in days? like when will the 9 months start counting? 4. When is the best time for her to get pregnant? Before or after her monthly visitor? I could go on and on. Please pardon me, teach me like a primary school child 1. A lady is more likely to get pregnant when fertile sperm meets her ovaries with her during her ovulation period. It could be during swimming or during normal sexual intercourse where the partner is not using a barrier (condom) is and she's not on any contraceptive pill. 2. Menstruation occurs after release of ovaries which are not fertilized, and the body or womb is or uterus sheds its lining which results in bleeding . It usually occurs between 15-28 days and it causes her to release some flow of blood usually between 3-5 days and It differs in individuals. Some experience mood changes and they feel tender, irritated easily and all what not but still, it varies based on individuals. 3. Pregnancy is calculated from the day of fertilization of overies till the day she deliver, s usually in weeks. It's also calculated in stages of trimesters, most pregnancy are 4 trimesters or anywhere between 38-42 weeks which is approx 9 months, give and take. Note, some children are born before 9 months and they're normal. 4. The best time to get pregnant is to know and calculate her ovulation period. It is said within some quarters that on her first day of ovulation, and the eggs get fertile, na boy she go get.  Hope my very simplified explanation is understood? For more info, pls visit a gynaecologist to explain better. |

Peppermintflav: What year of CRV? Mine is 98 CRV, I had this problem a while back. And it condemned quite a number of tyres in months . I changed all the bushings at the back responsible for the K-leg, but it didn't solve the problem. I then devised a little kazeem solution . I added a nut as washer somewhere in the upper (don't know what to call it) and the tyres straightend out. It's been 3years now I'm still rocking same back tyres. Your own case, the rear alignment bolt was the problem. |

nurey: In naija terms you see dots on the bumper incorporated with sensor, when you are reversing and getting too close to an object it starts beeping then engages the brake when you don't stop.
I know it as park assist it may have another name sha Highlander 01-07 never had that feature installed from factory. It may be a dealer or 3rd party or aftermarket installation. |

SteveUg: . Sir it’s a c230 Kompressor 2005model but it has 271 engine in it... Called a mechanic at ladipo to come check d car .. d car rolls doesn’t start but there was no compression at all.. so the mechanic is saying I should by another engine. Did they carry out a compression test using a compression test kit to conclude? That said, while the M271 engine is engineered with some stint of performance, in real life situations, its very fragile and quite unreliable. |
