Scan and post codes. Also, carry out fuel pressure test and revert back to us.

The Rewire said from the way it was sounding it felt like the kickstarter is trying to force the engine but the engine isn’t responding, They tried to manually roll the engine and even used spanner and hammer, it still did not roll.

It was concluded that it might be a crankshaft.


I’m really confused at this point

Put car in Neutral and try to roll engine with a wrench/spanner, if it rolls fine, if it still doesn’t roll, remove belt and starter motor, roll again, and if it still doesn’t roll, Otilo!

Hello good morning

I once had an issue with my car not being able to start but the lights were coming on. I got a roadside mechanic and he tried checking the fuse, kick, and it all, he said they were all fine. He had to run a wire from the kick to the battery so I was able to move pending when I get a rewire.

My mechanic took it and got it fixed up but not up to a month again, I wanted to start the car day before yesterday and noticed a 2 seconds delay. I decided to put it off and on again with another 2-3 seconds delay. Tried putting it on again, but it wasn't able to come on. the lights were just on.

I ran a wire like before from the kick to the battery to start it.

Any idea of what can be done or what is causing this issue?

car is toyota matix xr 2005

@ kingreign
My mechanic noted the rewire will check to see what is making the fuse fail when I bring it

Hire an electrician to check it for you.

Love what you see?
You’re just few steps from being the rightful owner of this beauty on wheels!

ChristineC:
ok sir. know where I can find a metal replacement? my mechanic said he couldn't find at Ladipo.

You may have to find it in Mgbuka Obosi (Onitsha) too. The parts for those cars are scarce.

ChristineC:
yeah I'm informed that I have a rusted gas tank. I actually did park the vehicle for about 5 years and there was residual gas in it all that period.
when the guage is above half tank, vehicle drives smoothly. when it approaches near quarter full, it stutters or stalls more often at low speeds but still idles normally.
are you aware of a treatment for rusted fuel tanks. it appears replacement tanks for the model is unavailable in Nigeria. I'm looking for the plastic type tank replacement.

I’m not sure there are plastic tanks for V35

Okay, check for the exhaust blockage or leaks, and also check if the injectors are spraying as should. Check fuel pump too.

Sweet ride

ChristineC:
it had multiple misfires on 2 banks, which were the only codes. I think P0302 and P0303 (not sure).
after all plugs were replaced and two coils (with a connector end), the engine runs smooth and vibrations at idle stopped. the codes also disappeared on its own without anybody clearing them.
sounds like there's exhaust leak though.
some weeks later, these new codes appeared but the engine still sounds good and doesn't vibrate like before.

What Nissan/Infiniti is this?
What engine is this?

ChristineC:
hello what are these codes for?

Catalytic converter bad, or missing or exhaust leak around the down stream O2 sensor and multiple misfires (Sparkplugs and injectors)

How to solve the red airbag light. It just came out in my civic 08

Did you collide with any object or did you perform any electrical works or did water spill on the front seats or the fuse box?

Good afternoon king reign, the see below results from live scan;
1. Cylinder 1 injection vol = 0.120 mL
2. Catalyst monitor = not available
3. Monitor of fuel system = not available
4. Oxygen sensor (o2s)(A/FS) monitor = not available.
5. State #1 of fuel system = CL
6. State #2 of fuel system = unused
7. Monitor result of fuel system = Compl
8. Heated catalyst monitor = not available
9. Temperature of catalyst Bank 1 sensor 1 = 407.8°C.
10. Temperature of catalyst Bank 1 sensor 2 = 202.1°C
11. AF Lambda Bank 1 sensor 1 = 0.988
12. AFS Voltage Bank 1 sensor 1 = 3.18v.
The engine type is 3ZRFE, toyota avensis 2011.
Honestly, the fuel consumption of this car is huge. 60 ltrs can only cover 410km city driving and I rarely use AC.

PS. The scan suggested that my engine system is OK. The air filter is clean, the spark plugs are clean, the exhaust is not clogged. The only issues are VSC/ traction control and headlamp.

Please assist me.. thank you.

Hello Salbis, the live scan did not depict any LTFT (long term fuel trim or STFT short term fuel trim.
Please do and I prefer if you have screenshots of the scan results and videos too so you share them with me for the purpose of this remote diagnosis.
I await your response on this.
Cheers!

Let your dreams come to live when you gift your self a lovely Christmas present; this is that lovely Christmas present!

Sorry that you lacked sound parenting when you were growing up. I’m not to blame for this.

Brake first, when you’re almost coming to a stop, clutch, then downshift.
This will put less stress and wear and tear to the clutch plate and discs components. When you clutch first then start braking, you may not had fully clutched to disengage the gear and this will put stress and rapid wear and tear to the clutch plate and disc.

My own crypto from 3.9m ,it now reads 185k. Depression wan kill me

Now I understand why you started aggressively and viciously attacking me for no reason. Sorry about your financial loss, I hope you bounce back.

natedroid:
What do you advise I do now then?

What’s my best shot

Do DM me 07034581213

natedroid:
Can I go ahead and make the switch to mobil 1?

What can any competent mechanic around my locality do for me at this point ?

I don’t know the competency level of mechanics in your locality, as for the oil, I don’t know the actual state of your engine and it’s internals. If there’s sludge or not, if it’s worn out considerably or not.

natedroid:
. I’ve used the car for 8months now

Is there any place you could recommend for me in benin or asaba?

Warri yes, Asaba and Benin no.

natedroid:
Yes . I’m not in Abuja though. I’m in the South south

Do I switch to Mobil 1?

Pls if you’ve not used the car for more than 6months, you may switch but religiously monitor the oil levels and tail pipe.
Where in the south south are you located?

natedroid:
Yes sir . Exactly the sound

Vvt-I rattle. It’s fixable. If you’re in Abuja, feel free to patronize me for the repair. Also, that oil you’re using isn’t the right oil type for that car.

natedroid:
There’s a weird cranking noise that sometimes emanate from the engine of my few months old RX 350 (2009) Lexus. Bought the car directs Tok and engine is still very sound . I usually notice this weird engine noise whenever the vehicle is parked for a few hour’s especially on hot afternoons


My mechanic said it happens due to oil circulation when you start a car and its normal.

Another mechanic told me it could be that the filter under bottom plate is dusty or it could be that the chains in the engine need to be adjusted. That I should bring it for him to access it .

A friend who uses ES 350 is also experiencing similar issues and his mechanic said it’s the oil circulation when a car parked for a few hours starts

I’m still not satisfied with the mechanics response

I use the normal Mobil sold 9500 at Mobil stations and I’m thinking of switching to Mobil 1 hoping that would correct the noise. A colleague using RX350 uses Mobil 1 and has never encountered issues like this with his car



Please I need the views of experts/engineers in the house

Anybody here experienced a similar issues before ?

Is it a 2-3 seconds ‘krrrr’ sound when the car starts up after sitting for a while?

Sweet deal
