Dear Nairaland!!

i have a 2001 honda civic EP2 hatchback,I parked the car at work and on trying to leave the premises, the car refuse to start.

The central lock and key fob is not working. The ignition will roll as if it want to start but will just keep rolling.

The immobilizer signs (the green key on the dashboard ) keeps flashing. The car security is factory fitted and has not been worked on since i bought it in 2013.

the scan shows no code but the key programming guy said immobilizer not normal.

Changed transponder, still no gree start ooo.

The rewire is now saying its brainbox

Please gurus, i really need professional advice

I drive 2010 matrix and I just discovered that the steering is too hard. The car does not use power steering pump, its electronics. What can I do?

Jakumo:
Haba King, make you leave my Mercedes brother now. Seriously his testimony about the unusually long-term, trouble-free lifespan that careful owners can get out of old Mercedes cars, is very relevant to this topic. Besides, one must be cautious when speaking about old Mercedes owners, because very many of them are postgraduate degree-holding Babalawos, Shamans, Marabouts and Voodoo afficionados like me ha ha.

2009 Toyota Corolla 1.8l LE

Hard starting when engine has run for a while and its turned off for some minutes..
NOTE: No CEL codes to read.

After diagnosis via fuel pressure lines, Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR valve) found to be culprit.

Car is allowed to cool and ease off any pressure in the fuel line.
WARNING: TO PREVENT HIGH PRESSURE INJECTION INJURY, EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO EASE OFF THE ACCUMULATED AIR/FUEL PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM BEFORE WORKING ON AROUND A FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
Remove battery terminal to prevent GOBE.
Release Andy residual air/fuel pressure in fuel line and tank, remove rear seat bench, open fuel pump covering, dtach the wiring harness socket attached the the fuel pump assy, remove every piping eouted to fuel pump assy, and carefully open the fuel pump lock.
Once cover is opened, carefully pull out fuel pump assy making sure the compnent doesnt get caught on any obstacle. Once fuel pump assy is pulled out, drain off fuel trapped infuel assy, and remove all clips/tabs holding the FPR valve. Carefully pull out the FPR valve from the fuel pump assy, then replace with exact working substitute. Fix all items removed in reverse order.

Attach battery, turn on ignition for some seconds but don't crank engine (to allow system re-pressurise the fuel line again), start engine and conduct a test drive to verify your work done.

Pictures upload will take place tomorrow morning.

Why put a v8 engine that is liquid cooled under your precious eggs?

OriEyeLe:
I have to thank you guys for the advice, although I had to do some repairs based on the car is used, the car engine was leaking Oil from rare mail seal or wetin sef, and another seal close to water pump roller sha, I changed all the seal from that car and that's all I did, the car stiil steams even though my kazeem convinced me if I use Synthetic oil that it won't have any effect so far the engine is used on naija soil, I didn't noticed the leak from purchase, finally I'm am enjoying the car although it steams and not smoking now, hey it was smoking black smoke before and it consumed more fuel and doesn't fire as a healthy car shoud, took it to kazeem rewire and said it's the brainbox and said it will cost me 20k(workmanship excluded o) to replace it with siena brainbox or so, with tendency of destruction(red eye) took it back to the dealer and requested my money back, he knows I b werey sha, he replaced it and later said if na another person, e don buy am b that. I smiled and zoom off and still tell him if sud anything major sud happen to d carin six months I will bring it back. But was my kazeem mecho ryt? For a car that still steams, shey using synthetic will do more harm than good to the car? Another thing v6 AC mad and the funny thing is I don't see any difference big difference in fuel consumption as most pipu assumes, I have bin using 2500# fuel since Wednesday with full AC and enough cruising for IB although I prefer to pass wrong way wt no traffic than to get stuck in sango traffic, and still the fuel will still carry me for tomorrow if I cruise the way I did today but I read something on nairaland not to rev beyong 2000rpm or 3000rpm in city and I thing it's a very good idea. Thanks, answer me abt my kazeem o, if I cn still use synthetic oil....4cyl engines actually perform wonders by force but v6 does it wt no stress. The noise less part of it makes more sense.

2002 Mercedes Benz W203 C230 Kompressor.
P0243 Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid A Malfunction.
This occurs when the turbocharger's actuator body isn't actuating, there's an escape of air via the piping, or there is an oil leakage into the air/oil separator.

DO NOT TOUCH RUNNING PARTS, BLADES OR HOT SURFACE OF AN ENGINE TO PREVENT INJURIES. DO NOT DROP OBJECTS INTO VENTS, DUCTS PIPEWORKS IN AN ENGINE TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO ENGINE, DO NOT TOUCH HOT FLUIDS, CARRY OUT THIS OPERATION IN A COLD ENGINE
Remove rubber tubing connecting radiator expansion tank to engine, remove intake hose, ducts and clips connected to supercharger, take out air filter. Using a long length E10 socket wrench, remove two bolts from the supercharger wastegate area, remove the little pipes connecting the supercharger to the engine, check for cracks on the pipes, oil leakages around the engine area or on pipe. Locate the supercharger actuator area and undo the clips. Shake black plastic air/oil separator box and gently pull upwards to remove box.
Detach the actuator from the black plastic box and test for actuation. To test for actuation, start engine and rev to 40rpm and observe the butterfly valve movement. If butterfly valve on actuator closes and opens, actuator is okay, if it is not opening and closing, then actuator is out of sync and MUST be resync. After, resynchronization is complete, thoroughly clean air/oil separator box then reassemble all component and check to prevent air escape.

[size=14pt]***** to resync supercharger actuator/clutch, contact me*****[/size]

NOTE: you don't need to always replace your supercharger actuator/ clutch.

This is a fairly common challenge with Mercedes Benz C230 kompressor's supercharger.
Most folks will just recommend a replacement of the supercharger clutch but this is a fairly easy fix.

Dear NLs

My TOYOTA COROLLA LE 2005 BRAIN BOX was tolen recently. Unfortunately, I gave a car electrician money to buy one for me, he bought 2003 model which does not match my car. Each time I park my car and I want to start it, it does not start untill after several attempts before it starts.

Now, I want to buy a new 2005 BRAIN BOX. I live in the East currently. My car is automatic. I will appreciate your advice

P0171 in Toyota Corolla 1.8LE 2007

P0171 = System too lean.
In dealing with the P0171 code error, we've discover its due to a lot of variables ranging from dirty air filter, dirty/bad MAF, broken air intake hose, dirty throttle body, plenum on intake manifold leaking not providing enough barrier to allow in entered air into the engine, dirty clogged injectors, dirty/bad pcv valve, broken pcv hose, lazy/bad A/F and/or 02 sensor bank 1, non securely locked air box etc.
Most corollas 2002-2010 are affected with this issue.

Symptoms of P0171 includes but not limited to erratic rpm on tachometer, hesitation of engine, loss of power, having a behaviour similar to misfiring (without attendant blinking of CEL), hissing sound from engine area etc.

In diagnosing and fixing P0171, the aim is to eliminate all form of unmetered air from entering engine, ensuring air passage is clean and car breathes and recirculates air as is suppose to be.

We start working from simple to complex and ensure all we do is in order.
*Inspection of air intake routes for ruptures,
*Replacement of Dirty air filter,
*Cleaning of MAF sensor,
*Inspection and servicing of PCV valves and replacement of hose if broken.
*Inspection and cleaning of throttle body (DO NOT attempt to open butterfly valve forcefully or by hand, throttle body butterfly valve must be opened by the vehicle ECU to prevent errors and damage)
*Inspection of injectors and servicing of clogged injectors
* Inspection and replacement of intake manifold plenum if bad.
