Jagermeister:
In all of these things, you didn't talk about the 'acura man' you left in church who arrived only two minutes after the pair of you and the lexus... Even with your speed and overtaking and hazard light and rolled up windows .. The Acura is faster than you both (he probably didn't know you guys were doing need for speed so he was probably even cruising and yet.. slow drivers, the pair of you hehe

You no tell them say engine still plenty for market?

Musty4ahmed1:
Good morning, Please my Toyota camry works fine when I start the car, if I am in a hold up it jerks before picking up and when am climbing hill, or when the car has worked for a while, looks like it forcing itself to accelerate. What is the likely cause please. Thank you.

Scan the car and post codes so we take it up from here. However, you did not mention any detail of the year and engine type of the Car.

Last sunday which was palm Sunday, we had a little task to perform in my church. The church chose 3 cars to transport members to the location where the task was to be performed. The cars they chose were highlander 2009(mine), one lexus es330 and one Acura MDX.

Everyone got into the cars and the little journey began. I was ahead while the lexus guy was behind me... We left the acura man in church. I noticed the lexus guy was inviting me for a race when he suddenly overtook me, turned on his music to a very high volume and wind up his Windows. The momment he passed, he turned on his hazard lights and zoomed off. I chuckled and to my people to fasten their belts cos the man was trying to ridicule my ride. I then began by playing Yinka Ayefele....

I changed the gear to the S-drive mode and then fired. In no time I caught up with him. I followed him for a few seconds then I overtook him. I looked at my meter and saw 170kmph reading.... I looked behind and saw him some distance away. In a minute, he caught up with me but remained behind me till we got our destination. As I alighted, his passengers ran to my passengers to complain about him and they said they were going to follow me back. My people were speechless cos of What they experienced in my car. I saw some of them praying while I was moving....
2 mins later the acura man arrived.


Lexus owners have this pride within them as if they drive a Ferrari.

I still Dey repair and sell engines shaaa.

Yeah the fx 35 is my first option. I once drove one and I must confess it's performance was fantastic. It drove like a roadster - suv.
Its powerful, balanced, great handling, quick and the sound is so thrilling.
Unfortunately, it doesn't come with 4 x 4 but AWD instead as compared with the Pilot which is fully 4 x 4, comes with 3rd row seats, more Hp and is roomier.
Also considering this will be an everyday car I'm carefully considering, durability, Fuel Mpg (for Lagos) and overall maintenance.

I noticed the FX also has issues with melting dashboard does anyone have a solution to this??

Still watching!!

Most Honda Pilot comes with FWD system, but some have a part time AWD which is termed VTM-4. On low speeds it engages its AWD and when the speed increases, it reverts back to FWD.

Pilots with Honda's Variable Torque Management 4WD system (VTM-4) sent most power to the front wheels under normal driving conditions. Under acceleration or if wheel slippage is detected at the front wheels, up to 50% of power can be sent to the rear wheels. The system also features a VTM-4 lock button on the dashboard which locks the rear differential and sends 25% of the power to each rear wheel. However, the VTM-4 lock function only operates in first gear, second gear and reverse, and automatically disengages above 18 mph (29 km/h), then re-engages when the speed drops below 18 mph (29 km/h).

Hello Sir, my Lexus RX 350 is not starting, dashboard lights are on, makes attempt to start but but start, what could be the problem?

Is the fuel pump okay?
What was done to the car that made this problem start?
Where is the car located?

I notice that my car is experiencing long cranking whenever I want to start the car to repark in my compound.
It doesn't happen in the morning or even when I close from work. I usually park outside before reparking in my compound. I park outside around 6pm and repark inside my compound around 8pm, In-between these 2 hours I always notice this problem.
My car model is Toyota avensis 2011.
Note: The car doesn't jerk or stall while driving.
What are the possible causes pls?

Scan and post codes here. Was your fuel pump worked upon recently?

Pls don't suggest seller that are not trustworthy please.

Please what can I do about the rotten egg smell in my car when I'm on high speed. The smell stops after some minutes of driving. The car Highlander 09.

Catalytic converter is on its way out. To be sure, scan it.

Bukola94:
u don't get me,we work beside the road almost every day,so we practically see cars trying to out runs each other. And we have see lots of accidents due to overspeed in our presence. One of the fastest cars I have seen on Nigeria road is Benz, Honda crosstour,pilot,Prado,range rover, Hiace,Ford and BMW. One of the fast cars that I have driven that gave me top speed and acceleration is Honda,Highlander and the Mazda

Prado, Pilot. Hiace, crosstour are not noted for being very fast cars, not even on any Nigerian roads.
Depending on ford, Range Rover and BMW models l, some are slow and some are fast.

Bukola94:
by saying the C300 is wayyy slower than is350,can you quote the seconds they both reach 100km. thanks

The distance between the IS350 and C300 will keep getting wider the more distance covered.

Bukola94:
I don't think it will be that far difference. I see a lot of cars on the road everyday, and the cars I fear most is Honda's,Benz,BMW,ACURA,Toyota Hiace & SUVs. They overspeed and I rarely stop them & all this power bikes. My department and FRSC work together

You don’t know what you’re talking with all due respect. That your dept and FRSC work together doesn’t any difference or deciding factor in this comparison.

olumzzz:
0 - 100 km/h times for the is350 and c300 are 4.8 seconds and 6.4 seconds respectively. So wayyyyy slower

C300 is more like a 6.8-7sec car.

ManAdii:
Good day car gurus.
Are oil filters generic or car model specific?

I want to get oil filter for my VW mk5

Some are generic and most are specific to engine types.

BussyAb:
Dear Lexus family , I use a Lexus RX 350 2012 model. Some weeks back on the highway, the alarm went off with message “transmission fluid temperature high” something like that . The gear master says it’s the gear oil that needs to be changed but people are warning against that, saying Lexus oil doesn’t need to be changed . Has anyone experienced this how did you solve it . Thank you

ALL CARS require a transmission fluid change at some point in the life of the car usually 30-40k mile. Ignore the expensive stunts that sealed transmission don’t require oil change.

Invest in an external transmission oil cooler and change that transmission fluid along with the transmission filter.


Shalom!

Hi bosses,

I have a toyota camry 04, when I put on the AC the rpm does not go up instead it comes down and it vibrates it doesn't allow the ac to cool but if I am accelerating the ac becomes cold and the vibration stops

Check your Throttle body. If your IACV is blocked or has carbon build up it can exhibit similar symptoms.

belloabd1914:
Hello everyone,

I currently use a Camry 08 which runs very fine, I got an offer for an accord 13 which I like, problem now is the accord have some electrical problems it doesn’t move fast when on drive, was told some sensors need changing…

My fear is: is an accord 13 a good car to use? Does it break down regularly, does the sensor problem occurs frequently.. many thanks as I await ur input

Avoid wahala. That sluggish movement is most likely transmission issue.

Hello Dears Engr. Gazzuzz & other car enthusiasts here present.

My Toyota Matrix 2006 engine vibrates excessively even at 730rpm wen on D & R but smoothens out on N. Again, my confusion is, it runs very steadily on 900 to 1000rpm even on D & R.

Scanned & got these codes only:
1. P0128
2. P0441

Previous repairs: Engine mounts rear & front replaced, replaced air filter & cleaned throttle body & car has been driven more than 300miles since then. All coil are brand new, all iridium spark plugs look ok upon inspection, Change cold start switch.

Secondly, wen travelling on highway, the floorboard of the car vibrates excessively only wen i step on d gas pedal wen at 100km/hr & above. Below 100km, it runs & accelerate very fine even under heavy throttle.

Wen descending from hill with very light press on d gas pedal, it can speed up to 120km without vibration, but as soon as i throttle heavily, it starts shaking excessively.

So i try to maintain 100km/hr throughout my journey.

I need help pls.

Check vacuum pipes, then carry out dynamic balancing on the engine mount.

To carry out dynamic balancing, slacken the bolts holding ALL mounts, start the car, engage R, D, N and P. Then tighten ALL bolts. If this doesn’t solve the problem, then GOBE.

By the way, was this car ever involved in a collision?
