Onyx2T: okay I think someone really needs to explain this. An average Nigerian is an inexperienced driver when it comes to powerful cars & Rear wheel drive cars. Most people are used to Camry and the likes with fwd 4 cylinder less than 170hp or at most the v6 versions with 250hp, fwd has more traction to an extent and your steering wheel is able to direct the traction since it Carry’s the engines torque (Fwd). Now people are getting to like the Lexus and buying them with no experience, Gs350 , is250 , is350 some of them up to 310horse power to only the Rear wheels, with a light weight vehicle. Now these cars need some sense in acceleration else you’ll turn a 360 or hit the nearest road side kiosk or gutter, down shifting this car without caution on a sandy road or a bend will cause a crash . Don’t forget most Lexus in Nigeria are poorly maintained with abs and vsc lights displaying on the dash (no traction control), all these are recipes for disasters. Some Buying winter tokunbo tyres and expired tires etc, Many drive drunk too, all these cars being in the wrong hands is the issue. Power is nothing without control. Many don’t know how to counter steer or save themselves when this car looses control. Once you’re out of traction in a rwd, you will watch your self crashing in slow motion without being able to do anything about it 
Assuming cars like mustang and dodge chargers are easily accessible many of this cars would be in collisions daily . Thank you for painting a clear picture that depicts our reckless unskilled driving culture most probably that guy may understand better. |

Djreloaded: yen yen yen. I wouldn't touch a Lexus car with a long pole, but real life tests has shown that car to be unreliable accident wise. Stop comparing fixed crash tests to real life scenarios. And before you banter further, this is offiicaldj K |

Djreloaded: what is highly debatable? Counter with facts. It's a well known information about that car. That you guys after buying a crash damaged car and fixing it poorly, yet you guys think this compact sedan is a NASCAR race car and that you think all roads you guys ply on is a race circuit, doesn’t make it unsafe. It’s a very safe compact sport sedan. Stop racing at break neck speeds on public roads. Pls find verifiable facts and data from crash test for this car.

Soferkizzy007: HELLO LEXUS FAMIL. please rx 350 says CHECK AFS SYSTEM And it also check pack assist sensor I know what this means but please how can I fix or can anyone one recommend a PRO in OYO state For the AFS, the headlamps have swivel functions which ‘sees round corners’ and the function has been disabled either by buying a non AFS enabled headlamp or a fault from a collision which was not properly fixed. For park assist sensor malfunction, It was involved in a front end collision and these sensors were not replaced or reprogrammed to the car. You need to replace these sensors with working ones. |

HilcomTech: Sorry about the certificate thingy, I was a little miffed at the thought that some people on this forum think so highly of themselves and that one would be utterly helpless without them. I could still have gotten the information I need offline, besides Google and YouTube still dey na
Nothing dey this life as you say and I apologise once again. @Bolded, Mr., stop trying to shift the goal post by lying and casting blames to garner cheap sympathy. You only reveal yourself as a slithering, lying, deceptive and cunning fellow. You are the one who thought very highly of himself and was looking down on me thinking that I want to defraud you and without your money I’d be begging or helpless but I proved you wrong. Like I earlier said, life is transient, and it doesn’t revolve around you. I don’t know if you find my post to be rather disturbing or a witch-hunt, but on the whole, I’m a very plain open minded person and I don’t have any ill feelings about you. Enjoy your new week.

Originakalokalo: Hello house.
Thanks to the OP and everyone that has contributed to the thread.
Honda Accord 2007 set a P0171 error code.
I have done a little research and found that:
1. MAF sensor could be faulty
2. Oxygen sensor
3. Exhaust leaks
4. Vacuum leaks
5. Fuel pump
6. Fuel filter
7. Injectors
8. Bad PCM.
I have tried to check the engine and there was no loose hose r something.
How can I narrow down the fault without throwing parts using scarce resources?
Thank you all for your anticipated responses. Run a live data diagnosis on the Barometer, IAT sensors, O2 sensors and AF sensors on idle. You may also run a fuel pressure test. Pls check if the air cleaner element and fuel filter are dirty or clogged. |

angelEmade: You get time dey reply am. Kids full this platform... . ..to your question, even though I am a Toyota and Lexus lover (I love the combination of durability with the kind of aesthetics Toyota and Lexus offers) I will advise you to forget about that brand expecially if you are a tall person. I have always felt that particular brand is overpriced and over valued. You should look for another Lexus brand if you really want a Lexus... Toyota did not bring their durability insignia into the IS 250 at all... You don't wanna be in the slightest accident with that car. Aaaaarghmed: any small pim..the car dey fold for accident like sharwama Highly debatable. |

Check your fuel pump ASSY. The fuel pressure regulator may be faulty, Check your ECT sensor, it may be faulty and causing hard start, also check your throttle body, it may be having issue. Lastly check your ECU. |

HilcomTech: 1) I made two separate requests to the forum only for you (in a sly manner) reply both requests telling me to contact you through your phone number. Why can't you post the information here like everyone is doing. Besides, other folks in the same situation can also benefit from such information because I have benefited a lot from other people's experience on this thread. I have also helped folks on this forum in my own little way without thinking of cornering and fleecing them of their hard earned money. You can keep hoarding your knowledge and shove it up your **se. Other non cunning members of this forum will help. Just watch and see.
2) Only an unintelligent person would not have noticed that my ID/monicker is suggesting I am someone in the field of technology and I am not responsible for your inability to earn PhDs Oh one more thing @ the bolded, I paid for the knowledge I have and still acquiring till date. I burn over 120gb or data every month for videos and online courses in auto repairs and I also paid for professional courses and research. I stay awake till early in the morning and a lot of times I don’t sleep at night damaging my health and risking my life, while at you are busy snoring loudly in your sleep, and you want that knowledge for free? You are a sly, cunning, dishonest fellow who wants to unsurp from others by reaping where you did not sow! |

cluewebhost: I have this stubborn check Engine light and the mechanics in PH haven't been able to sort it. Volvo xc90 3.2l engine
P0057 - H02S Heater Control Circuit Low Bank 2 Sensor 2 P0003 - Fuel Volume Regulator Control Circuit Low P0190 - Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor A circuit
The last time I put it on it also showed me cylinder 1 and 6 misfire.
I've parked the car since as I don't like driving with Check Engine. Previous things were easy fixes but the mechanic I used to work with hasn't been reachable for months now.
cc @valarinz P0003 and P0190 can trigger misfires. However, check your plugs, injectors, coils, also check your wiring and electrical system too. I know someone who may be of assistance in PH. Contact me 07034581213 |

2) Only an unintelligent person would not have noticed that my ID/monicker is suggesting I am someone in the field of technology and I am not responsible for your inability to earn PhDs First things first, it may interest you to know I have been in this forum since 2008 first as Lomomike and was a moderator and then as kingreign. I have helped countless number of people here and on other platforms and even in real life so I am not some random online digital identity, I am very real. Ask around a lot of people know me. Secondly, I have not had anyone called me cunning or attempt to fleece anyone and I am very comfortable with what earn, I’m not some poor random fellow, I live in my own house and I don’t pay rent in FCT, I pay my bills and I’m doing very well for my age mate. Your rather poor and unintelligent thought that your contact me to provide you with product for your own good amounts to fleecing and defrauding you or whatever is very silly and foolish of you and goes to show how your thought process is. Only a corrupt mind knows and assume another is. If you don’t cheat and aren’t corrupt, you won’t think automatically every person out there is a cheat and corrupt. Also, I bagged 2 Post graduate degrees one in Environmental management, and an MBA and I have attended other courses both in my profession and in my line of business also I am applying for a PhD programme and all these are fully paid by me and was awarded to me based on character and in learning but I did not blow my trumpet or carry the matter on my head like a bill board which you did. Besides that, people from all works of life, both old and young, female and male do frequently contact me and are still going to contact me for one or two things even if you don’t contact me, and heaven won’t fall. Lastly, stop this your senseless silly pride and needless ego. Life is transient and this world don’t revolve around your silly immature personality. |

If you have 8 PhD degrees, I don’t need those info as they’re are only useful to you and not me. I only quote you because I can get you GENUINE ATF and a cheap but highly effective headlight cleaning and restoration compound since you stated Abuja and Kaduna, but since you’re all about d*ck measurement and pride, suit yourself.
