I am presently not with the Mechanic so I am stating what he told me via phone.

The engine had been removed a long time ago, about 8months now. I had initially wanted to ring it but felt discouraged and decided to rather buy a complete engine. Meanwhile I had sold the old engine as scrap and the vehicle left like that without engine.

Last week I sent money to the mechanic to get the Engine. He got it, fixed it and said he needed a car electrician to fix the electrical. I called one that I had, who came and tried to fix the electrical but he said that the former engine had one "sensor" while this new one had two "sensors" but that he would see what he can do about it. He went to Ladipo and got another sensor. For two days now he(electrician) had been working on it and yet to get it right.

According to the mechanic, the engine cranks but will not start. The electrician has told me that he wants to consult his boss to know what else he can do.

I feel the electrical guy does not fully understand the vehicle. So I am looking to get another car electrician who is more experienced in this type of vehicle.

Kindly help a brother with the contact details of a good electrical guy please.

PS: The vehicle is in Lagos.

Main location of car in lagos e.g oshodi, mushin, ikeja etc

Is yours an 8 cylinder or 6 cylinders?

All depends on quantity. I hope its minimal?

mayor the boss.. Have been waiting for your comment since.. Thanks a lot.. Maybe... The cat is the culprit

Test all lambda sensors, check for continuity and resistance value

Let's not forget there is no catalytic converter in this ride. Have seen cases mostly in hondas were lambda sensors are ok and all wirings fine but if no cat. It complains about the lambda sensor when you run a scan

Does this jerk come in when you engage transmission I.e from park to drive ? Coupled with a sound

Check for mike on this forum he is Abuja and knows the job

Problem car. Like Mr kashif had said let them Continue with the coversion. The job is yet to be completed

grrrhh:
is the crank censor the same as the camshaft sensor

No sir. Cam sensor used to monitor the activity of the camshaft used in also determining fuel injection

Lol... As you can see, I'm not the original poster.. I just stumbled on the thread. I'm actually looking for a Boerboel or any other pedigree breed and I'm ready to pay its normal price.. I'm in Abuja, that's why I'm asking.

Have got solid boerboel. Contact me on 08156087872(what's app) or 08165520837

Substandard brake pads

Meet ur ac technician,let him top up ur gas,issues like dis result from gas shortage. Put more gas in the system and tell him no to over gauge it. Most of those guys don't know anything.

Lol

Scan the ride. Copy down scan result report it live on car talk I concur with Gazzuzz. Recently changed a crank sensor on same honda accord but a 2008 model

Still up for sale

Wow that's so not cool.

What will you advise one to do should his dog contact the parvo virus?

Very simple if you can do it. But rottweiler have come to realise do not have a stronger immune system against parvo virus

Is your pocket full of money

sultaan:
If you look at the old engine you can see someone took off the cylinder head and there is a black gap between the head-engine, head-valve covers which might be that thing you all call gum. Compare gasket on left head-right of the engine.

Very conspicuous

elshanAutos:
The 2nd gen IS 350 uses both 2GR-FSE (3.5L) & 3GR-FE (3.0L) V6 engines.

No dispute. The 2GRE-FSE comes in different variants. We have critically examined engine and a lot of compromise have been done. This 2GRE engine is very much different from that fitted on camry 2009 v6.

BoleAndFish:
Why? I thought vets should be in the best position to treat such.

Most of them don't even know whe parvo sets in. One thing I have come to realise is the fact that these vets are the ones sometimes who transmit this parvo virus front their own sick pups. Am talking from experience

Toks engine cranned back into the engine bay section. Sorry I couldn't take pix. Am on a break now. This lexus sha

A typical case of parvo virus. Most Rott are prone to this. Sorry for your loss. Next time never call the intervention of a vet during a parvo case.

Thread would be updated tomorrow, was too busy to attend to the job. Observations made about this car

1) space to work around engine bay was tight
2) engine is a 3.5L
3) engine has a high pressure fuel injectors which is different from the conventional type of fuel injectors. This means more torque to the engine. Where is that corolla man racing with a Gwagon. This what you need to compete with the beast

More observations on the way

If am to take a guess. Binding brakes, worse case your gearbox is messed up. Any rubber burning smell when driving?

Femtopford:
To my good familiarity, it has never happened to any of 05 escape on high way. In fact to, to be cognizant of another confidence, 05 escape has the best pcm inbuilt ignition/anti-theft system among Ford vehicles.
The anti-theft system is independent of CAN
bus. The owner's key recognition by the vehicle is direct link from transceiver to pcm, so no interruption from other electronic modules of the vehicle
Else minor fault like fuel low pressure caused by :fuel pump, fuel filter, choke fuel nozzles etc or misfiring/hesitation caused by : coils, spark plugs etc and with these anomalies the vehicle will easily get to the workshop without being shut down on the highway.

Maybe for you sir. Last year November still dealt with a case. Cleint complained about car shutting down on the high while she was cruising her ride. Guess what? She came with 3 different ecu installed on her car. I laughed and laughed. Read more about the factory recall on Ford escape 2005. You know about the ignition coil issue on this ride right?

Engine finally cranned out @ 6.15pm. Multiautolab closes at 5pm. Am off to my house. Catch you guys tomorrow

Pix of new toks engine and old engine about to be cranned out

Exhaust manifold finally out. Lets proceed in removing starter motor

Driver's side exhaust manifold proving stubborn to come out. This needs to come out in order for the starter motor to be removed as well. Lexus and their tight surroundings when working around engine bay
