Go with your mechanic. Check the temperature of the external cover of the catalyst after test drive . Try driving the car up hill to see power. Test drive with Ac on. Check power with step down acceleration. All things being equal, a bad fuel pump can also cause this issues.
How? huh

I am the first owner in Nigeria and it wasn't flooded nor is the ecu replaced.

I will check the fuel pressure tomorrow.

What about the TRC OFF and VSC lights on the dashboard?

Also, what about the knock sensor? I changed two different knock sensors and it's still not working.
Did you check the wiring harness that sockets into the sensor and how sure are you of the sensors good state?

so I scanned the car two different places and these were the results. I changed both knock sensors but the check engine light is still came on after clearing it.

Also after the first scan, TRC off and VSC light came on too and e never gree go.
E get one codes I no understand here. Was this car flooded or was the ecu replaced?

That said, check if the car has adequate fuel pressure going to the engine and also check if the security light goes off when key is inserted into the ignition

it's showing P0330 but it has been showing it since March last year when I bought it and the mechanic I went to advised that I leave it since na new car and the repair would require they open the engine
They’ll not open the engine. Wha mr they’ll do is to take off the intake and the knock sensor is in the belly of the V. I suspect rodent infestation. However, pls scan that car engine and transmission then post codes.

Oga Kingreign

My foreign used es330 recently started doing hard starting. I will turn the key up to 4 times before it starts. Sometimes it starts at a single key turn. Sometimes at 2 or more key turns.

It doesn't happen only in the mornings. But once it starts, it starts easily at the first key turn.

I also noticed if I rev the car at gear one, it moves slowly before changing to the second gear and then it moves well after that.

I haven't repaired anything in the car except change oil and clean the air filter.

What could be the problem?
Pls my brother, I suggest you scan the car and post codes here let’s tackle this palava together.

I think it is electronic. It has sensor. I complained to the mechanic again and he is saying we will replace the fuel pump. I just don't want to buy a fuel pump and at the end the result is the same. I will be furius
Replace throttle pedal with a tokunbo unit complete with the sensor.

Hello House,

Just changed my Camry 2011 AC Compressor to Tokunbo Manual Compressor , few hours ago.The belt was changed too. But I started noticing funny sounds coming from the AC vent. But the AC is very chilling..

Could this be, that the compressor is not a good one or it was replaced with something different from the initial one, that’s not compatible with the car ?

I hate hearing funny and uncomfortable sounds from my car.. Kindly help out..

Thanks
Ask your AC technician to fix what he did

My 2005 Corolla sport doesn’t go past 90km/h even when you are on full throttle. Scanned it and the result had to do with throttle position error or so. The mechanic drained the gear box oil, serviced the filter and the throttle sensor and said it was okay. So I took it home. Driving it again yesterday I realized the car still doesn’t accelerate beyond 90km/h
What is the code saying?
Pls post it let’s advise you accordingly.

Kai human being, rightous than though. As he is seeking for advise now, which language or world did you want him to use in discribing his wife than to say it the way it is so you can give him the right advise? In your little mind, you take That as an insult.
You’re full of rubbish and have a brain the size of a mustard seed if you come here to support the rubbish he spewed out against his wife and her mom on social media.

Weld it and flush. 2.2 Camry condenser has larger fins, I've never replaced one throughout my years of repairing those cars.
That it work doesn’t make it the right thing to do. In this thread, we preach about the right way to fix cars and not some rather shoddy under tree shade repair style.

Thank you.

I started dating this girl 15 years ago. Tight body, good personality, all is well. Got married. Things continue to go swimmingly. Her mom is in her 80s and is quite overweight. A few years into the relationship I saw an old picture of her mom when she was much younger and she looked almost exactly like my wife. Started getting worried. Wife turned 40 a few months ago and her chin is starting to get flabby. Just like her mom’s. Her tits are also starting to sag. They’re huge, which was always a plus, but since last summer they’ve started expanding, but in a bad way. She’s starting to widen out in the middle. Her arms and legs are getting thicker. Basically, she’s starting to get her mom’s body. This is despite the fact that she eats right and exercises regularly. Genetics seem to be overriding her good decisions. And it’s happening rapidly. I’m having a harder time finding her sexually exciting. Which sucks, because her personality is still top tier. I’m afraid within 3 or 4 years she’s going to look hideous. And I’ll be a horrible bastard if I leave her just because she got fat, through no fault of her own. Can anything be done here? Like I said, she takes care of herself. Is there any way to fight genetics, or am I destined to have a fat cow for a wife?
huh angry

I’m lost for words and utterly angry that someone would use such nasty language to describe and qualify his wife. Body shaming her and her aged mom is the height of the insult and see finish.
Well to each their own, whatever rocks your boat!

My 2007 Toyota corolla, indicate bake on dashboard, but the brake is working properly, also the Noise from the Silencer is wider, ie louder, but i think this is due to the unavailable of the catalyst, but what could be the possible solution to make the Silencer more cool. Because the speedometer guage isn't up to zero, before acceleration and if I increase the slow, the Noice from the Silencer will increase higher again.
Have a panelbeater weld fix that broken exhaust.
As for your ‘brake’ warning light, check if your Brake fluid is up to level, check parking brake switch and check foot brake sensor.

Nothing has been changed in my car fuse region. I hav not even had any issues that will warrant anyone touching my fuses. And I am always present when my carvis worked on.

I will do as you asked and revert. I mentioned it to my my mechanic and the rewire there said it might be my kick. That I should monitor it further. I have not had a kick starter problem before and hence don't know the symptoms.
It’s not out of place to check your starter motor also.

Sorry I haven't reported back on this. I was able to do this with a colleagues multimeter yesterday. We set the dial at 20V. I did three out of all you listed here.

We tested the battery first of all with multimeter while the car was off. I got a reading of 12.70V.

Then I switched on the car and the multimeter gave a reading of 14.16V.

Then I switched on everything in the car. Headlamps, airconditioner, radio and the reading was 14.07V.
Your car running voltage normally should read between 13.2-14.8V so this rules out alternator. Have you checked your ELD (electronic load distribution) relay?

Also, whenever you can start your car, pls drive it for over 50km distance and scan.

Hope your car fuse or ecm has not been tampered with?
