Back to the topic, cassie has a lot of potential and should come out looking stunning after a lot of work, you mentioned something about re-building the engine if there was no compression, do you use generic parts for the re-build? Or are there still OEM parts available in the market for the rebuild?

Mean while I see say no be only for naija dem de take nylon take cover brake

Nice work city I'm following this thread.
D grin. No be for only naija dem dey covers the brake oil comtainer with nylon

Thanks man.. Will scan the Toyota before any further repairs. Professional scan tool like??

The kia vibrates even at 2kRPM, the vibration only fades as from 3k RPM. The vibration is felt on the chassis , its even worse at the back seat area.
Still go ahead to run a scan. If you need to scan reach me by checking my signature. Bb pin is 7BE1C522

Car Talk › Re: AC Issues by mayor2013: 5:06pm On Nov 16, 2014
As for your kia run a scan on it. You have issue with your idle control system. For a 2011 toyota corolla I wouldn't want to rule out the idea of scanning the climate control system. But who ever will do this can't use a DIY scanner. An experienced person with a professional scan tool can do this.

HELP!
I drove a friend's car and when i came to a stop, i discovered that the radiator fans are misbehaving. they are constantly running even when i off the ignition.

this is bad.
@ "op" pls tell us what car is this?

The 80s and 90s VW products actually do it.

The design is to have the fan switch fail into an on position to protect the engine.

Many a battery have been killed due to this because they normally run in for a few minutes after you stop. So you don't know if it's the normal few minutes run or a permanent one when you park and walk away.
Yea bro. You flashed me back on this one. Volks wagen does that. I know of the volks wagen LT. But the time frame is just way too small to count. But this "op" own is just grin grin

Don't get it wrong. I'm only saying before you start your day, check ur engine, check ur water and check everything in general..

Who does that, lagos to yola and top water along the road. The radiator would be danm too hot.

I'm saying whenever the car works a full day, it rests over night. In the process of cooling over night, someway and somewhere and in anyway, the volume of water in the radiator must have been diminished. Or does the radiator Tops itself?

If there is a radiator that tops itself, I don't mind such.

Provided u are the one that must top it, then there is no reason why you should be too busy to check atleast once a day first thing in the morning.
I agree that water is lost in the closest of type of system. But the quantity of yours lost is just enormous which means you have a leak somewhere. Leaks could be very difficult and tasking to see. I recommend the "op" goes for a coolant leak pressure test. Thats just the best practice to get what is wrong. Your car either a big engine or not its not just normal for that said quantity to be lost. Do you know mere opening the radiator cap every now and then could cause you more problem to your car. That cap has got a threading in it and was you keep opening every now and then, you tend to worn out that threading so fast. Just go carry out that test. Or better there is a leak stopper sold for about 300 naira. You can pour that in your radiator. It stops whatever tiny leak you have got in your cooling system

Have never seen where a car after you must have shut down the entire system the fan still works. Am sure those road side Acradabada electricians have done it again

@ "op" if you have your check light on. Go for a scan. Am sure you should have an airfuel ratio sensor code

I doubt if you just bought this car. If its a car bought from cotonu like you said then definitely it must have had an issue over there or been driven in benin for some time. Now back to your matter. What you are to inspect is

1) your fuel pump
2) your injector noozles
3) am sure there is a miscommunication btw your ECU and immobiliser and your transponder key
4) your igntiion coils-

I just hope there are sparks coming from each igntion coils if other wise try to check them one after the other. If you notice no spark for a particular ignition coil you can swap with another from your car
@ "op" if I were you I would treat every thing that can make this car misfire. Sorry I had to type this way. So tired now

Its smallthing. Let dem re-set the ignition for you. The teeths in the iginition would be adjusted to suit d key you have.
What kind of resetting are you talking about pardon my ignorance but I need to learn. Shouldn't your car be in the factory installed way. That key does not have a transponder chip for a 1996 camry so the issue of programming or not is ruled out. @ "op" here is it try recutting another key. This time around your ignition cylinder would be used to get the shape right. If this does not work am looking @ situation where your ignition cylinder was damaged.

Kashif:
Bad or none existent catalyst cannot possibly kill air/fuel sensor, given that they sit before the catalyst, and are in no way connected. I am not sure about the HO2 sensors, but the same should apply. Thanks for your input anyways....

Is there anyone who could help with a reference please?
Dont forget they play same role and when 1 goes bad there is a faster tendency for the rest to go bad too quick
Car Talk › Re: Dtc P0420 And P0430 Troubleshooting by mayor2013: 4:01pm On Nov 09, 2014
Only way to check is to drop the exhaust it self. If no catalyst there then your 4 02 sensors are as good as gone too. But you can still test them nevertheless
