Hello fellas!

I don come with my wahala again, but that's the life of a first timer taking care of this wahala called car.

Well I successfully put my ride back in shape but here are issues I'm now facing:

1. My MIL(check engine) light was previously blinking anytime I drive, but after some mechanical works today, it has stayed put any time I'm driving. I browsed the internet for some info and found out a faulty airflow meter usually causes it. Actually a part of my airflow meter is broken anyway due to the accident, which makes the car make noise like trailer.

blinking MIL light is usually a misfire but I think it’s only visible when you have no prior MIL before the indication. If you had a steady MIL light before a misfire occurs your MIL should still stay on steady. It’s possible after your kazz worked he has used his left hand to attach something or forgot it totally hence the steady MIL. You might still have a misfire and wouldn’t know it

Was told an airflow meter goes for about 10k, bear in mind I reside in Taraba state.

2. Anytime I drive, my drive D keeps blinking, even after refilling the transmission oil with 1L of transmission oil, as i saw on the net as well that it's the commonest cause of a blinking D on the dashboard. Wetin una think?
if your gear is still manageable you can order the original fluid DW1 and flush. 4 cans should do. Just take out 4 liters in there and replace with the new ones. Why you shouldn’t do a full flush is because it may damage the gearbox since you don’t trust the prior fluid in there. Then you will clean the solenoids. All of them if possible plus the transmission filter. Doing this and the gear is still misbehaving then it might be an electrical issue. The wiring will be checked. If the gear still drives then there’s hope.

3. Sometimes the car goes off itself while driving yesterday, and was diagnosed today as one of the plugs being faulty. Had the whole 3 of the front plugs changed today and it hasn't gone off itself since then. But there's this low sound it makes while it's on idle, as if it wants to go off, before going back to it's normal sound again. This sounds is worsened anytime I switch on my AC. Make una epp me check am out!
this means your engine stalls. Maybe worse under load. Your spark plugs, MAF or IACV might be the culprit. Check your plug coils and wiring too.

4. Finally the Brake light keeps showing, despite the Brake working perfectly. This is giving me serious concern as the info I got on the net says it means the brake isn't working as it's supposed to. Checked the "master slender" as they called it for the brake oil, and saw the brake oil is reduced. Yet to top it up, but I go still like know weda anything apart from brake oil fit cause am, to be prepared before hand.

[b] is your brake still working well? If it’s working okay then there are some likely causes of that light staying permanently on. Have you checked your handbrake? Does it go down fully when depressed? Does it hold the car? You will have to take off the center divider to check it’s wiring. There’s a sensor located at the base of the handbrake, check if it’s good by unplugging it. If the light still stays on then that’s not the issue and your handbrake is working fine. Next check your brake fluid reservoir, open it and look under the cap, there’s a rubber there, is it pushed into the cover or popped out? If it’s out then gently push it in. It helps keep pressure in the reservoir and when it’s pooped out it confuses the float. The again there’s a float at the button of the reservoir where a wire connects to its sensor. Sometimes the sensor might be bad or the float stuck. To unstick the float take a small spammer and hit the top of the reservoir firmly a few times and check. If the light stays on then unplug the wire from the socket and it should go off. If it still stays on then your problem is from elsewhere and your reservoir is fine. Meaning your master cylinder is okay. Lastly check your brake pads and calipers. One might be sticking or there’s a leak in your brake lines and it’s lost pressure[/b]

Thank ya'll for the comments in my previous post. Abeg make una epp me put mouth for this one too ooo!

Nagode soose!

Dtruthspeaker:
I do not think that is true but I stand to be corrected, that GIG Jet Mover does not listen to its speed limiter, even from Lekki to Epe

Babadee1900:
The three seatings costs 25k, one fender side 9k, mechanic: 5k, Foglight relay: 1k, All the brake lights and one indicator: 1200, sand protection: 2k... etc

Babadee1900:
E they sweet when e they work...when the billing enter like this, e no they funny. I’ve spent 41k today and I’m not done.

sinkhole:
I can't even understands what you're arguing self!
We want schools to reopen, stakeholders said government should provide some things to prevent corona from spreading.
FG does not want to provide such things, perhaps because of the cost.
Everybody went up in arms, raining abuses on ASUU, as if ASUU closed down schools
Now, private Unis want to reopen and are asking you to provide what others asked the FG to provide and you're still complaining
I am, seriously not understanding you

chillex8:
Sadly, I won't take this advise.
It's one of the Fastest way to die.
Thanks for the journey wishes. Leaving lagos 04:00GMT. Not any second later.

If you buy a filter rated for 10,000 miles, yes. You do realize doing that with a regular filter is killing your engine right?

radautoworks:
Step 1 did you get it from Carquest?

Yes? Definitely a good filter

No? Maybe it's a good filter?

donuba61:
Good day car gurus. My Honda civic vibrate when idle and the rpm is at 0.5. Pls what could be the problem

Dayvidblue:
As if there are western Igbos.

DrFunmisticGlow:
Then you begin to wonder why there are so many degenerates today.

Newton001:
I have love having my own car for longtime, so is good to get a car Worth 800k - 900k for someone on 1.3m per annum?

Which one should I go for

Honda Civic 2006
Honda Accord 2008 2003-2005


Or getting a Honda Accord babyboy with highest 550k

My major concerns is maintenance though I'm thinking driving babyboy in next three years might look somehow

DrFunmisticGlow:
there's no such thing.

I've delivered many children into this world and a lot of mothers have no idea what to do with the child once they see it.

DrFunmisticGlow:
Yes

But it is not our place to judge

Hychineson:
Experts in the house, I want to know the major faults Lexus ES350 encounters and which model is the best?
