Car Talk › Re: Air Bag Light Reset by mayor2013: 11:24am On Apr 13, 2015
For both cases you need to run a scan on your airbags. Am very sure your squib sensor (clock spring is faulty) this component controls the airbag, horn and what ever accessories you might have on your steering. Its a bit tricky fixing it but it can be fixed by a competent auto electrician.

I would not be able to provide you with a solution if you don't give a proper details of your car.

1) year
2) engine size
3) cylinder numbers

Answer this and we proceed from there
Car Talk › Re: Please, Urgent Help Needed, Catalyst And Sensor Problems by mayor2013: 10:33am On Apr 13, 2015
Pls post the result of the diagnosis here. Your mechanic is jst moving your car from fry pan to fire. Didn't he get the right catalyst for your car? Why the " kazeem" construction. If he likes let him reshape countless of time. As far as your car is concerned he hasn't done anything. Until he does the right thing whatever fault code stored in your ecu as regards catalyst should permanently go

I must admit ...i never knew...is there a way i can charge my battery at home or must i take it to those 'charging ports' in town?

Another thing: Are gel batteries available in Nigeria? They seem too good to be true!!
Of course you can take it to a competent facility center where your batteries can be charged. Getting the charger is not cheap too. Gel type batteries should be available in Nigeria but am yet to see one

Car Talk › Re: Battery/alternator Problems: Help! by mayor2013: 4:24pm On Apr 08, 2015
@ OP. Do you know that the shelf life for a conventional battery is 4months after this it should be subjected to electrical charge. Nigerians are not aware of this. Now let me explain it. Your altenator cannot give your battery the optimum charge it requires. Basically because you have a voltage regulator inside your alternator which helps to regulate e.m.f . Its just advisable you subject a conventional type of battery to a more powerful charging system every 4 months so as to last more. If you need a battery that can last you for 20 years it is available but won't come cheap. Its called a "GEL" type battery. I would recommend the one made from BOSCH

Run a comprehensive scan. That should be your first solution which would pave way for the final solution

I did it when I was in Delta. Now I'm back to Lagos. Maybe i'll just buy a scanner and post the scan codes here. This is really frustrating...
How did you manage to drive the car all the way from delta to lagos vis-a-viz the problem

They didn't give me fault codes. They just came with a quote and asked me to buy new set of coils, spark plugs, service the throttle body, nozzle and buy new fuel pump. I've done that already sad
Go back to who ever ran the scan for you and tell him or her that you need the fault codes. A trial by errror won't be of any help

this souds more like a throttle issue, but lets not go with that. What where the fault codes that you were given. Post those fault codes here and we would take it up from there
Car Talk › Re: Highlander Start Up Issues. by mayor2013: 3:53pm On Mar 19, 2015
Your starter motor is bad. Since you jut bought this car. Power capacity from your battery was too low at a point now causing the starter motor to become excessively hot and each time this happens it kills your starter motor. First thing check your power source and make sure your battery is up to expected battery voltage (12.6v)

godownson:
Hello house,
These documents will be sent from a host in SA to my brother for visit visa application;
-letter of invitation.
-proof of accommodation.
-passport data page.
-3 months bank statement.
My questions are:
1- which amongst these documents needs certification, or should all the documents be certified?.
2-who is eligible to certify the documents?
3-would the embassy accept the documents if they are scanned and sent via email?.
4-would the yellow vaccination card be needed during application?
Any other tips I need to know to perfect the application would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Samtol4, TYPOP.
Note: 6 months bank statement
Car Talk › Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by mayor2013: 9:18pm On Mar 11, 2015
I use the 07 don't know if they are same. Well get its exact one that fits. If forced in you might continue to buy over and over again till you get the exact type, breakage would be the order of the day. It gives the car more balance particularly when you turning your steering. so its very important
Car Talk › Re: No Stabilizer Linkage On Corolla 2009? by mayor2013: 6:24pm On Mar 11, 2015
Remember if you don't have your sway bar there and you want to fix it. Warn that mechanic to lock up your steering before attempting to remove it and fix it unless he would over turn your steering and cut off your clock spring (squib sensor) which controls what ever feature you have on your steering wheel. Trust me man you wouldn't want to go through the stress of changing the clock spring if broken because not every one knows how to fix that. A bit technical

Is this car a 6 cylinder or 4. I would advice you start from the simplest of area I.e check
your spark plug and the ignition coil on the 4thcylinder. If all fine proceed to the other solutions suggeted above

Car Talk › Re: Mitsusbishi GDI Refused To Supply Feul To The Injectors by mayor2013: 10:25pm On Mar 07, 2015
OKOLIEONYE:
PLEASE HELP!
My Mitsubishi space wagon GDI 2000 whose timing belt got cut on motion, My mechanic told me that it has affected the top cylinder, and as it was smoking earlier i decided to buy another half and top engine; and the car tries to start but could not be accelerated and my mechanic suggested electrical correction.
The Electrician had tried rectifying this issue but complained that current could get to the plugs but refused to get to the fuel injectors to supply fuel into the engine, thereby further suggested i should visit the local parts dealers to get another brain box, the fuel supply mini gadget that looks like brain box in the engine,the code at the key and other electrical mini components from either an accident space wagon before the motor could start.
Please what is your advise.
Are you the same person as the op undecided your car not accelerating. Pls scan that car. Well from experiences with Mistibushi space wagon GDi when such happens the culprit is the APP (acceleration position pedal) but do not rule out the idea of scanning the car.if spark does not come out and injector noozles do not spray and all wirings attached to are ok then your ECU is a culprit here. Well since your car key has got a transponder chip then it needs to be reprogrammed after replacing the ECU

4. Compressor was repaired for low pressure..has excess oil too
5. Condenser and hi-low hoses were flushed
This better work, my pocket aint smiling right now
@ op I hope the car is now cooling well and how do you see the guy's service?
Car Talk › Re: My Nissan Extera Gets "Tired" After Doing Some Work On Long Journey Or Traffic by mayor2013:
doroboss:
what is the relationship between a.c killing fuel pump? undecided

loss in power due to low fuel pressure, will not kill a dying fuel pump any faster, they are in different locations. angry
Am sure that you were much interested in challenging that but don't you think it was better you comprehend what was written rather than jumping too fast. Let me break it down. For you as simple as "ABC" the op has a weak pump already right. He continues to use his Ac resulting to more work force on the pump. That for sure would cause the car's problem since his fuel pump pressure of the car is low. If this was the reverse of the case he is more safe using his Ac without any hassle. Pointout in my response where i said loss in power due to low fuel pressure will kill a fuel pump faster undecided

mayor2013:
I concur.low fuel pressure coupled with the fact that he drives with the Ac makes it kill the already weak pump.
