This happened when we were still in the Uni. There's this girl in my guy's class who has been playing hard-to-get. One day just before exams, she went to the library with my guy to study and moments later she slept off. When it was time to go, my guy tapped her to wake her up and as she raised her head, lo and behold saliva was drooling from her mouth and has formed a poodle on her desk. She nearly fainted. And since then became very humble especially when my guy is around.

Frankly guys I do not pay heed to such news but had to switch off my phone and put it under the bed cos my wife instructed so and I was tired and didn't have the strength to argue just needed to go to bed.

Chanchit: Oh my Gawd...! I wish i could go back to those vintage years, everything jst looks perfect, before this money vampires showed up..

Me too

Ikenna351: Nigerian car owners will never stop to amaze me. Making suggestions without understanding the issue with Op car. One even suggested the removal of the engine Cooling system thermostat, which has nothing to do with the hard starting issue with the vehicle been discussed. I wonder.

Meerkat,

The symptom, as you described, your car is giving means is having improper air/fuel mixture. Usually, such symptom is caused by flooding (Too much fuel injected into the combustion chambers with less air to match the mixture and that will flood the spark plugs, preventing them from sparking/igniting the mixed compressed air/fuel and creating power stroke (explosion) in the chambers. Yes, it starts after some minutes of non-clanking because the flooded fuel has dried up in the cylinders or has washed down the cylinders and found itself in the crankcase, which will be diluting the engine oil in the sump. If you doubt me, pull out your oil dipstick and smell it (the oil). Come back and tell us if it smells fuel or if your oil guage has gone up or risen beyond the last level you left it.

It could also be a wrong connection or loose connection between the CTS, cold-start injector & the ECU. The symptom sounds like purely an injection issue. The people that have suggested the cold-start injector replacement are on the right track. But you still need to ascertain if the cold start injector is really faulty or the culprit. You need to be sure that the signal from the cold start injector or the CTS (Coolant Temperature Sensor) to the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is not distorted somewhere between (the harness).

Please, leave your Injectors alone, they have nothing to do with the issue. Rather, you can check the wire from the ECU to the Injectors, to be sure the injectors are getting ground pulse from the ECU, when the car refuses to start. If the injectors are not getting the ground pulse from the ECU, check the wire continuity and also the ECU wiring connector for corrosion.

Will get back to you when am through with work. Remove the thermostat Indeed!

Ikenna thanks for the insight, will definitely give it a shot

US-AutoBuy:
Don't waste your money. The best guess i could think of at the moment is something called "COLD START VALVE"

Its job is to tell the brainbox/injectors to supply more petrol cos the car is cold. And less when warm.

That is why you have no problem starting the car after driving it.

Find below the picture where its located and what it looks like

Good luck out there

Sound reasonable. I will check this out. Thanks.

Cargoed: Have you diagnosed the car. If not why?

Okay i have seen this on a similar car, from canada all the mechanic did was to completely remove the thermostat and all things was good.

Get your Diagnostic Kit now for your laptop only N20K 070*6 357 8028. works on ALL CARS and tells you how to Repair the car.

the thermostat has since been removed and the engine check light is not on. Pardon my ignorance, how does this diagnostic kit work? Can you explain further in a layman's term. Thanks

chiebube: Hei my brother. I must confess am not too sure.

1. Does d car jerk?

2. Have u ever serviced d injector

3. Check d injector to make sure all d components, are properly fitted. No hose big or small is cut?

4. How does the car run on d road?

Hey bro. The car does not jerk and av not serviced the injector. The car runs smoothly. Thanks for your concern.

ado ok: Distributor,coil and brainbox it happened to me once

Pardon my asking, is it either distributor, coil or brainbox that is the problem or do you mean all the mentioned items are faulty? Thanks.

Martini101: Bros. Check the cold "start sensor" I feel ur pain. Mine started doing exactly the opposite the day i took it to car wash. After throwing parts at it, the disappointment and disgrace, It was finally solved when I changed the disributor bought at the cost of N6000.

You said yours started doing the opposite, please how do you mean? Again can your solution work with my car?

chuksonu: I am presently using exterra 06 model since last year,It's very good for rugged roads.Easy to maintain.Consumes less gasolin.Eg a full tank of gasolin is enough for me to travel from Benin City to my village in Aninri L,G,A in Enugu state.The parts are available and affordable too.

and wats ur tank capacity?

Dear Auto Gurus, I bought a 1996 Toyota Camry (automatic transmission) four months ago and since then I have discovered the car has a peculiar problem. I observed that whenever the vehicle's engine is cold and you start the car and for whatever reason, you turn off the engine, the car will not be able to start except you leave it for a long while like 30mins before it will be able to start again. What am saying is this; you are about to go to work and you start your car (it starts), then you remember you have forgotten something upstairs, you turn off the engine, run upstairs, get whatever it is you forgot, come down, attempt to start the car again and it won't start.

Again, if you drive the car to the office which takes about 25mins, (by this time the engine is hot) you can turn off/start the car as many times as you wish and the car will respond. I was told it's an electrical fault and I have taken it to three different people, to no avail.

I must add that this car became a source of terrible dissapointment and embarrasment until I accidentally stumbled on a temporal solution. I discovered that whenever the car "passes out" on me, I could start it by attemting to start the car and at the same time trying to push the gear lever to drive(using two hands now in other to be able to do it simultaneously). I am not comfortable with this method hence the quest for solution.

Or I could start the car, leave it on for 15 to 20mins for the engine to heat. Again this method is not welcome given the removal of fuel subsidy and time wasting.

Please auto gurus I need your contributions. Is there any negative consequuences am to expect in view of the my temporal solution in paragraph 2? If anybody is experincing a similar problem please feel free to share it here.

Ignatio: Chai! how did we get here?

We took cab

Wow! Chairmoo I hail o

ayo jango: Effium high school,Ebonyi state 06/07.that place is cut of from d world

you are right bro. Didn't serve there but hav been there. Though they gat food.

Dis Guy: yes tax inclusive, people earning over certian amount a year in UK for example pay upto 50 percent tax (but then again some of those people are wealthy enough to employ a tax consultant who can reduce their income tax bills to as little as 10%)

They also pay for insurance, private services, Agency fees, mortgage/rents, bettings

but still enough to secure them for life especially the african players if they invest wisely

Thanks for the general idea, I can do the math now.

I was reading an update on the European transfer market this morning and the amount of money being mentioned as weekly pay for those players started me thinking. I read some players are paid £175,000, £150,000, £130,000 etc weekly and when I converted it to naira, it ran into millions. And I said to myself, "these players and their generations to come can never know poverty. On a second thought remembering what taxation in Europe is said to be like, I want to ask; is the amount tax inclusive? If so how much is the tax percentage? Are there other deductions? what is the actual amount a player earning say, £150,000 a week go home with? Can anybody in the house satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks as I await your response.

Bar maaaaaaaaannnnnn flow more beeeeeerrrrrr

How do you expect that to make front page? I personally do not get your drift there.

@Topic: I think the OP is trying to portray how Emeka Ngige is indirectly campaigning for the election when constitutionally he is not supposed to.

Funny comments here. keep it up.

princey83: That match had so many heart break, first it was amokachi and amunike's injury in the match, then baggio's goal, then eguavons foul.

my most memorable moment was yekini's goal against Bulgaria, then after he held the net and started talking to himself.

He wasn't talking to himself, he was pouring praises to God.

I love this thread. I remember those days at Christ the king College CKC Onitsha. There's this vice principal we nicknamed Ninja because of his trademark silent movement. He has a talent for appearing like an apparition without u noticing him or hearing his footsteps. He also hides his cane like d ninja sword. He will appear where we are playing cards and when strokes starts landing at ur back, u will know ninja is around. I also remember SOHCAHTOA anoda VP he carries stones in his suit pocket which he throws at students if he can't catch them. Is it umezulike? funny good old days.
