Hello house. My Lexus is250 gives an odour when I suddenly rev the car up to a much higher speed while on the road. Or when I’m speeding on the highway (sometimes). Anybody know what the issue is? I thought of unburnt fuel and changed my plugs a while back but it still persists.

Does it smell like rotten egg or amonia?

oneitalia:
Great guy and a colossal loss at the auto section. His input will be sorely missed on Nairaland. My go to guy when I need to change my oil and filter. Been thinking and scratching my head that where will I get genuine Mobil 1 oil. May his soul rest in peace.

His shop is still open and doing business.

dasanchez1:

CHIGIM:

Dear guys,

I need help with my Honda Accord EOD, I drove past a flooded area two days ago.

The car started jerking not up to 20 mins after I left the area and it's still happening now.

I need an advise on how to resolve this because the car now jerks continuously anytime I try to accelerate.

Thank you.

Water ingress into the engine. Have a mechanic open the plugs and check.

My Bosses in the house.

Currently having a problem with my Avensis 2003. Started with the throttle not giving power that is commensurate to the push on it. And when am climbing a hill it begins to lose speed despite pushing the pedal down to the last while on flat ground it move. Sometimes, it reeves very high especially when I move it after parking under the sun. But after offing and restarting, it becomes normal again.

But recently, like after 3 months of driving since I noticed the stated problems above, throttle pedal doesn't respond at all. So I parked it, only to come the next day to pick it up where I parked and the car won't start after the electrician did all he could he left another came and scanned and the following codes came up

P0136
P0353
P0354
P2102
P2121

Finally, he got it to start but no response from the throttle pedal which was why I parked it.

He said he's taken the ECU for test as well as the pedal sensor and they turned out okay. Been 4 days now. Abeg, I don tire... I need solutions please. Thank you 🙏

Have ecm checked, or get a replacement unit to test, get the wirings checked, replace coils and throttle pedal and throttle body (injector mouth).

Starboytwo:

Bomzky:
I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla. The fuel economy of the car is rated 28 - 30 mpg combined but mine is consistently getting 18mpg no matter how I drive. AC on or off the same thing. I’ve replaced the MAF sensor, gotten new O2 sensors , air filter, new fuel pump and housing, the tires are on the right air pressure, replaced the fuel injectors, spark plugs and coils yet I’m still getting 18mpg.

I scanned the car and got a p0012 error code, so I cleaned the cam position sensor and replaced my engine oil and oil filter. But still the car consistently does 18mpg😭🤲

Where’s my 10mpg going

Where your car dey?

If e dey abuja I go like see the car and fix am.

dalitigator:
I have a Honda accord 06 which does not rev pass 3. It jerks each time it gets to 3. Consumes lots of fuel with black smoke from the exhaust. I have taken the car to a technician and he serviced the injectors and changed spark plugs. Still the same issue. What could be the problem?

Scan your car. Ifrom the description of the symptoms you gave, its the rocker arm sensor or citcuit aka raising sensor that's faulty.

What year please?

2012 MY.

Pls price is 6.5m

awesome9ja:
This is sweet ride. Just wish l could afford it now. I will go for it outrightly

It's long been sold.

Sellfish:
Shebi you be mecho

Fix and add cost to ya price

It's sounding as if you tried and failed to fix its problems, and that's why you are now looking to hang the u unfixable gbese on an innocent person

The owner of the vehicle handed the vehicle to me in that state to sell off as is. It had been parked for over a year since she relocated abroad.

Besides, there's nothing unfixable in these things. 250k can easily fix them. I won't put a dime into it as I am not given the go ahead to do so. I was only asked to sell off as is.

Oracabessa:
Same price Boss.

Yes. 6.5m pere.

You'd need to fix front driver side suspension, AC fan don't come on, battery is weak and radiator fan suddenly stopped working.

Available

Racoon:
It it interesting to know that all these seemly inconsequential sensors on the aircraft are extremely important in the operational process of these flying machines.

The tubes on the nose of the aircraft are called pitot tubes. They're for measuring airspeed, angle of attack etc.

While those tiny pipes facing backwards from aircraft wings are called static discharge wicks or discharge wicks. They're meant to safely disperse electrical energy charge from the aircraft body.

Bola4boy:
Pls I need help. I bought a thermostat for my honda accord, i decided to test it inside hot water. The valve opened ( became longer ) but didn't close again after removing from the boiling water. Till now, it's still open. Is it how it should be? I thought it should close when cold. Pls help

If its still opened, get a replacement piece.

yemi2plus:
My car, a Lexus ES 350 2010 model is due for service and the Mobil engine oil I normally use is unavailable in my location at the moment. Now, I am considering getting a different one (also Mobil) and wish to know if there's any disadvantages in changing/switching it.

I attached the images of both engine oils below. The first one is what I have been using since December 2023, and the second one is what I am considering.

Please I need honest opinions on this.

Thank you!




Also, is Dru23 a reliable vendor? Are is products genuine and shipped directly from the US as he claims?

Why not go to his page and put this question there?
I'm not the one to start this sort of Q n A in this thread. There're threads dedicated for oils and what not in car talk.dru23 also has threads for his importation, you can go ask him. This thread is purely gor car troubles to solve car troubles. Thanks.

Ken4Christ:
I am amazed at those discouraging Christians from paying tithe on the ground that Jesus and his Apostles didn't collect tithe.

The teachings of our Lord Jesus on giving placed a demand on us far bigger than tithe. Tithing is 10% of your income or increase. But Jesus demanded 100% of not just our income but of our possessions.

Evidence No 1 - His encounter with the rich young ruler.

Mark 10:17-21.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, SELL WHATSOEVER THOU HAS, AND GIVE TO THE POOR, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

Notice verse 21. He told the young rich man, "sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor". He didn't ask him for 10% of his income or resources. He asked him to sell all he had and give it to the poor.

The young rich ruler couldn't do it. Rather, he went away sad. He never Jesus was showing him the way to true riches. He would have become far richer than he was if he had obeyed.

It's true that the recipient of the giving wasn't the Pastors but the poor. If our Lord Jesus demanded such sacrifices for the poor, do you think he cares less for his ministers?

Another argument is that he wasn't talking to everyone. The second evidence will prove otherwise:

Evidence No 2

Luke 12:32-33
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33 SELL THAT YE HAVE, AND GIVE ALMS; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.

The instruction our Lord Jesus gave above was to his disciples. And that translates to us all for we have all become the disciples of Christ.

Evidence No 3 - The early church practiced it all two recorded occasions:

Acts 2:42-45
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

45 And SOLD THEIR POSSESSIONS AND GOODS, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.

Second Occasion

Acts 4:32-35
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.

34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were POSSESSIONS OF LANDS OR HOUSES SOLD THEM, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,

35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

My question to those who condemn tithing is this, can they sell their possessions and drop the money at the feet of their Pastors so they can share to those in need? If the answer is no, they should all stop condemning those paying tithe.

My only counsel to churches that collect tithe is that they should remember the poor from time to time as it was done in the Old Testament.


.

Give to the poor. He never instructed anybody to sell what they had or bring their fruits to fund the flamboyant lifestyles of rich prophets or Pastors or clergymen.

BigUnclewriters:
Please, I bought a honda CRV 03 Nigerian used. It was fine at first then it started consuming a lot of fuel recently.

On checking the codes, it gave - P0134 - O2 sensor circuit No activity detected (bank 1 sensor 1).
P1077 - Air manifold intake valve

I have tried fixing this with 2 different mechanics now to no avail. The O2 sensor in particular has been changed repeatedly without any solution.

Please help me

Location of the car?

CHIGIM:
I use motorcraft oil which is the oil for ford car.
And i do my service every two months.
My mechanic was a novice to turbocharger problem so he messed up why trying to find why the smoke was heavy.
I don't mind the guy in warri coming to check

I doubt he'd come and check. You'd actually be the one to go to warri and let him diagnose the car.

CHIGIM:
I see oil from the exhaust pipe.

I know someone in Warri that I can recommend if its fine by you let me know.

That said, what messed your car up are two things,
Oil quality amd oil change interval and dirty air filter.

CHIGIM:
But i dont know were i can go and check it in delta

Where in delta?

CHIGIM:
Please help a bro.

josephsm823:
My Bosses! Please glk 350 2012 gear noise when shifting gears. No error codes or check. It's driving well, but the noise when shifting to park, neutral, reverse, or drive is bothersome..

Have a very competent technician look at it.

Is the transmission fluid low or filter dirty?

Hello boss,I logged into car section tonight looking to either talk to you or talk to Gazzuzz about my recent issues with P0420 and I was dumbfounded to hear Gazzuzz is no more with us. Such a pain but may his soul rest in peace.

Boss,I'm having headache about P0420 and you talked about spacer here as changing catalyst is too expensive now.

Can you enlighten me more about how to do it. Thank you sir

NLOwner:
Hi everyone, good morning.

I own a Lexus Es350 2011 that I've been servicing with Mobil 1 5w30

But the Mobil filling station in my vicinity relocated without telling me 🤲

I'm planning to switch to a much more readily available brand like Hardex 5w30, as that's more convenient than having to order Mobil 1 from vendors or online every time I want to service my car.

Can I go ahead to make this change without any effect to the car?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Cc Kingreign Nurey Macmilla Jceesquare and other amazing guys.

For them to relocate without telling you, let's sue them to court.

Pls, I can't advise you to use a product I can't vouch for. Stick to a reputable product. There are a good number of products in the market, I won't give names cos doing so is giving them free adverts.

Aiykay:
What does the spacer do and cost of installation please?

a spacer is a device that fools the ecu to think that a car has Catalytic converter whereas it does not. When you have a spacer installed, the P0420 and P0430 codes is not stored in the memory of the computer.

I have a few left, 07034581213 DM via WhatsApp to find out more.

Aiykay:
Very good information sir. So i can rock the car without the cat , the high cost of replacing it is not even encouraging.

I sell spacers
