[quote author=US-AutoBuy]Don't waste your money. The best guess i could think of at the moment is something called "COLD START VALVE"

Its job is to tell the brainbox/injectors to supply more petrol cos the car is cold. And less when warm.

That is why you have no problem starting the car after driving it.

Find below the picture where its located and what it looks like

Good luck out there

OP. This guy just hit the nail on the head with the picture description. Goodluck. Dont forget to come and tell us when it is rectified!

@OP. THIS IS the exact solution to ur problem.
Kakatazz(m):@OP you have been told the truth.Mine also had similar issue anout 2years back and I changed the COLD START SWITCH and ever sinve its been wonderful.Infact I travel with the ride alot.I bought it for about 1,500 Naira then it should not be more than 2,000 tops.Just go get a honest mechanic to help you check LADIPO auto market thats if u reside in Lagos.


This is what i meant by the exact thing my car did.
I had similar problem,Mine is when i drive the car for a while and switch off the ignition, it would not start until 15 to 20 mins later. I couldn't switch off engine at filling stations and it finally killed my battery. The solution is the ignition coil, my rewire told me the ignition coil was damaged and changing it solved the issue. Try that and get back to me. Scanning it was a bit of problem because the scanning port was not the regular OBD2 rectangular socket, it has a round socket similar to OBD1 so to get an adapter for it was difficult.

Oga Ikenna. No disrespect but we re talking from experience here.

Bros. Check the cold "start sensor" I feel ur pain. Mine started doing exactly the opposite the day i took it to car wash. After throwing parts at it, the disappointment and disgrace, It was finally solved when I changed the disributor bought at the cost of N6000.
TV/Movies › Re: DKB And Zainab Disqualified From BBA Stargame by Martini101(m): 12:48pm On Jun 05, 2012
blank: The video was so funny. Women always think they can get away with slapping a man. Did you see her girly slap and then the guy's own caught her full in the face. Even a man, would have found that slap very painful.
Morale of the story: do not slap if you do not expect to be slapped in return.

As you can see, BBA saw her slap him and also disqualified her.

Guys and girls, please do not hit yourselves. Fighting is not civil at all.
. [/color][b][/b]BABE. U just hit the hammer on the nail. Dont mind some sycophants here that havent faced such scenario in real life.

TOBZ: All dis buffons who call themselves real men

A real man will neva eva raise his hands to a woman, no matter what. Yes she provoked him, but as a "REAL MAN", he shld he should have walked away. Does it mean that every lady that provokes him on the streeth, he beats up? he go beat tire o. He doesnt have self control and that doesnt make him a man, it makes him a pathetic wimp.

He is not only a wimp but is also a dumb Bottom,not only is he now known as a violent who has anger issues n doesnt knw the meaning of self control, he stupidly go himself eliminated for somethn that could hve been avoided and he would have walked away as the better man. odeh, mumu. [color=#000000]
Thanks for the "real" man title. Mind U, Slapping isnt beating. If U doubt, go slap an Agbero 4 motto park, U go see "beating"

manny4life: If I were to rate the President like at the Gallup Poll being used to assess Obama here aka approval ratings, I would rate him less than 40%. Which means he got less than 4 out of 10 priorities right.

I'm so disappointed in GEJ, and no I do not hate him; he needs to focus on three things - electricity, security and education, and makes sure he achieves a score of 70% in all three. Every other thing else is either secondary or less priority.

I still believe in hope for Nigeria, but at the rate of our development, other African nations will rise above us.
.lol. Naija people no dey forget oh! Bros. U try no be small. At least let him achieve those ones and every other thing shall follow suit.
Christianity Etc › Re: Christians:What Fruit Did Adam And Eve Eat Inside The Garden Of Eden? by Martini101(m): 8:54am On May 29, 2012
[quote author=emöfine2][b]@OP[/b]Is there such a tree known as "knowledge of good and evil"...or such a tree known as "the tree of life" at least in our current reality?

Have you ever considered if the fruit was indeed a metaphor?

And if indeed some will persist that none of these accounts were figurative then surely we cannot know anyway what type of fruit was consumed as no such trees exist in our present world.[/quote].
Babe. U should have said it now! since U re near to the answer. Anyways, for me. That fruit is SEX[/size][size=8pt]

Lekky 2: @ martini101,
I will still give the old engine to damola as requested by him.It is still his own and not mine since he is contributing to the purchase of the replacement engine.I dont need the old engine as there is nothing i am going to do with it.
He has shown some level of matruity and sense of transparency on the whole issue so far to an extent. At least replying my sms, mails and still contributing to this thread.
What if he decided to bolt-away and swith off his phone after katakata burst like what most Nigerian seller will do,when this kind of problem happens.
So let me display my own level of maturity and transparency too since he has displayed his.
@ 3ace
I have promise to give all neccessary update on the whole saga to the point of conclusion.
.@lekky. like i said, U re a good man. Since itz ur choice to give him the engine, who am i cos i know most people wont even try such after this 'experience'. As for him, switching his phone on U, that is impossible since U know his office and residence. @Damola. Try everything possible to make up with Lekky cos his type is very rare currently in Naija.@Driver. The bulk of the problem lies with U 4 trying to drive an overheating car with Radiator coolant and a bag of pure water from Lagos to Abuja. @ All, letz make Nigeria a better place

hotwax: Dullard man. Cant you see I am cracking a joke here. Next time somebody will tell us yorubas are part of boko-haram. Is this a yoruba man ?

lets face it. Boko is a PDP ventures to
1. spend money on security
2. Give Buhari and co bad names
3. Distract our attention from bad governance
4. Ensure Nigeria is not stable
5. Ensure the continuity of corruption

Reason:
If it is poor masses, he will blow them up. But when it comes to ministers/politicians, the suicide bomber cant blow them.
he failed ? how ? Because they are ministers/PDP.

They cant blow their people but poor masses.

FU PDP

oweniwe: a beg its not d driver's fault. The driver called alhaji to inform him about d 5 warning lights on but HE TOLD D DRIVER TO IGNORE THE WARNING LIGHTS drive d car to abuja like that. D driver was only acting on alhaji's instruction
. Even at dat. Did d driver think dat he can drive an Overheating car from Lagos to Abuja wit his Radiator coolant and Bag of pure water antics! He must be dreaming. There was this day a bus i entered by 10am at P.H to Enugu started Over heating at Aba. Wit d same Radiator coolant and pure water Antics of d Driver, we were still at Umuahia by 6pm then everybdy entered another Bus. The fact is dat Damola can be exonerated wit d Car Overheating part but d broken Chasis part which should be d main issue is purely and solely his fault 4 nt disclosing it to Alhaji. Cars! We cant live witout them. Lol
