No sir..av not install d catalyst...planing to do Dat soon...BT from d little research I made online and what av read on various auto threads both on nairaland and other fora,I learnt catalyst remover does not affect fuel consumption except if it clogged d exhaust......though I plan to fix it back as soon as I have d means
That's theory yet to be proven by any body. Have tested this on a Honda Accord 2008 no down stream cat. Car became much louder and fuel consumption was higher than expected after cat was fixed mpg became normal and owner was happy. Go back and have Ur cat fixed

a Nissan? No synchronisation between camshaft and crankshaft. Timing is off already. Apart from clicking noise ignored what other sound did you hear any? Is this a DOHC?

Of course, a scan tool can be used to monitor shift performance. But again, check the signs the man gave on the car. Decide if this has anything to do with 'the shift status, performance and clutch lock up status' like you said.

You talk of proferring solutions, at least don't mislead the poor guy. And you were so sure that you have to say, concerning calibration in this particular case that it is 'definitely not on this ride'. Seriously sir?

Did you even read his reply to the questions he was asked?
What's misleading about what have written up there if I may ask. I wouldn't know the calibration yet. Maybe oga Kashif can enlighten me more on this for a Camry 2005. I need to learn

Did you just quote Nairaland's transmission specialist, on a matter on transmission, and you didn't get enough back up info too? My man...
What solution have you proferred rather than follow " them say them say". All I say is a professional scan tool can be used to monitor transmission shift performance. Simple as A,B,C . Nothing too much

Kashif:
Chief, first you said check cable, then you said filter, and now bidirectional scanner. On top one issue? What do you reckon they should monitor with the scanner biko?

OP has confirmed what I suspected and IMO, he does not need further diagnosis. If you want me to go deeper into calibration for info, and not argument, I would be happy to do that.

Shalom.
Nothing is impossible. Have treated a case like that on a Honda Accord and it turned out to be the selector so his can't be an exception. That's a good question the shift status, performance and clutch lock up status and many more can be monitored using the scan tool. Whenever I install a toks gearbox That I use very well and it's been the best way without been biased. The "op" might just not have any problem with this.

If you are in Lagos bring in your ride for a free diagnosis
Car Talk › Re: Auto Tanny Goes To Neutral While Cruising by mayor2013: 9:15pm On Mar 08, 2018
Kashif:
Then nothing is wrong with your gear. It is just calibration that kicks in once you apply brakes at lower speeds, as it tries to improve fuel efficiency. It just waits for your throttle input to know which range to select. If you go heavy on throttle, it makes decision more quickly.

Just enjoy your ride.
What calibration are we talking about here. Definitely not on this ride. @ op get a bidirectional scan tool visit a competent workshop and let them monitor your transmission performance using actual values. Through this you would be able to tell if your transmission shifts properly. If you don't know how and you get a professional scan tool. I can put you through

Thank u.
Is it the same thing as transmission filter?

Can I open the bottom tray right away or leave it to cool a bit
Warning!!! do not do this while hot. At least allow for 24hrs if tranny is hot.

N.B : do this at your own risk

Have your evaporator checked properly it's leaking reason for the offensive smell. Notice this. When you put on or off AC do you get to hear a hissing sound

Hello all,
Please anyone with experience on This, my 307 is just a 2 weeks old and I am getting this Anti pollution fault message on the display, it comes and goes , it is usually when I start the vehicle or trying to step on the acceleration. Is there any cause for alarm or it's normal.
Please anyone with experience on This?
It means you are polluting the ecosystem with your ride sir. Let's save both biotic and abiotic factors in our ecosystem. We need an increase in Nigeria's population grin grin and here you are depleting our ozone layer. Firstly run a scan on your Peugeot aka lion you should have an oxygen sensor fault error there

A simple scan would point you in the right direction. As for the person up there preaching about how to ignore the " check" sign . Your transmission alone is about 380k-400k. When yours comes up continue to ignore it . When you re given a bill don't fret. @ op scan your car post code here are you shall be guided accordingly on how to have it fixed.

NB: not every one knows how to use a scan tool.

Thanks, the engine is 3MZ and the gearbox was converted from 12 pin to 10 pin over a year now and it have been working perfectly. Please how do I get a competent mechanic within (Igando)my area to fix it.
Now you talking. The only way out is to have it installed back to what originally came with your ride.
Car Talk › Re: Sluggish Reverse Movement Gear When Engine Is Warm by mayor2013: 5:13pm On Feb 25, 2018
No check engine light illuminated, engine seems to be extremely hot in most cases. Does the ride stall? Your case seems to me like a blocked exhaust system. A physical diagnosis would help
