Could you imagine that I read this thread from the beginning to the last page. Your juju is very potent. I normally go through car talks and autos without seriousness cos there are bunch of unseriousness in nairaland and I had seen your name made wise replies and I pass up until recently I started falling in love with Ford escape/explorer 4 cylinders and 6 cylinders 2007 model etc., and saw this thread and decided to read your posts and alas I was blown away with an iota of conviction that you are it. I sincerely commend this thread and recommend it too to Mazda and Ford owners and other autos Ford affiliates. I have taken your number and will surely give you a beep.
I presently drive Mazda premacy 2001 automatic transmission and the rpm is slightly fluctuating at idle and the engine too is showing sign of rough idling. It had stalled sometimes but not always. No error code on the dash board and that worries me bad. Sometimes the engine will be very high and i have to be on the break to tame the speed. But I must tell you that this car can best any car it meets on the road despite this headache.
This problem started the day my alternator belt cut and the timing belt shifted. The engine was opened for the first time at 129,000 mileage. Even some bolts broke in the process (I haven't fixed the two bolts yet). The mechanic just slided the timing belt back and boom all the problem I aforementioned started. It had shown some error codes that time but once I clear them they will go with the wind. Despite all these, I needed an SUV and started doting on Ford escape/explorer cos of the kind of road where I newly relocated to. So back to the Mazda, I have looked at the plugs, coil packs, cleaned the throttle body; yet they are not the problem. Could throttle position sensor be the culprit? Also how do I get oem Mazda premacy parts cos it seems that our mechanics and car parts dealers do not know what is oem. As it stands I do not trust a mechanic that does not sound intelligent like you.

Timing might just have skipped by a tooth

@ op take good picture of your fuse box properly. You would need a physical assessment of damages parts. Pictures might not help in this case.

Could you pls post scan result. Changing throttleless or whatever you call wouldn't solve the nightmare on that vehicle. Post exact scan result as seen on the scan tool. We can move up the ladder from there

Why use palm oil in an engine like this. What a pity. Check for presence of fuel, spark and compression

Victoriousvic:

I'm not too sure about the bolded, a mechanic ran the scan. I'm not really familiar with these tools.

I'm based in Calabar.

If a professional scan tool isn't used you wouldn't get any fault
Car Talk / Re: Volkswagen Passat CC Won't Start by mayor2013: 8:18am On Mar 07, 2019
Fail safe mode has probably been activated. What kind of scan tool was used. There is a pending fault on the power train. You would need to carry out a proper diagnosis to get to the root of the problem. For your oil pressure warning light you might want to start with the engine pressure oil switch. Your location?

Thanks bro, no traces of leakage on the rack, it's dry and neat. I will take it for inspection cos if leakage exist I sld be battling with low oil level which I'm not.

I will look for a good mechanic who might be able to fix it.

Let me just advice you. Go for a brand new power steering pump

Hi all,

I'm having power steering issues with my Honda DC 2006. When the car is in motion the steering feels easy, smooth and soft but when I'm stationary, without revving, the steering feels hard and difficult and when I force it the power steering starts making noise.

Please what could be the problem and how do I fix it.

My daily douse of panadol has increased. Old any advice?

Have your power steering pump changed. Ensure the power steering reservoir is cleaned up properly from debris before installation. If reservoir is extremely dirty have it changed

Nice thread... Am currently having challenges with my Toyota camry 2005. I awlays refill the water reservoir everyday. I mean the coolant reservoir. The mechanic said I should change the radiator to double cell which I have done but the problem still persist.. I have even changed water pump still the same problem.. I don't know what else to do.. The car does not over heat just that am afraid it will over heat if I stop putting water in that reservoir. Please I need ideas on how to solve this... I'm in awka

There's a leak around your cooling system. Carry out a coolant pressure test and that should reveal the leak

Fuel pressure low. Carry out a fuel pump pressure test and compare to manufacturer spec. You might as well want to run a scan on your powertrain

Imagine a doctor that takes his sick patient to his colleagues for team work diagnosis yet shield the details of the patient from them.....I hope you will agree it doesn't make sense.

BMW contacts Bosch during production of most of their vehicles. Mecerdes Benz contacts Bosch as well during production of most of their vehicles that's why you see most parts come in Bosch. Toyota contacts denso, Aisin, Bose and many Innovative companies for production of some components.
This Is what you call an informal approach to learning. So you better sit down relax, hush your mouth and be attentive so as not to miss better ideological information ahead of you in the automobile repair industry
