Good day Motorguru. What do I need to change in my toyota avalon 2001 Tokunbo. I am aware of the first service. What about the belts, oils etc. How important is to change the timing belt. I inquired from my mechanic (kazeem), he mentioned that it's not necessary to make those changes yet. But I am not convinced. He also said Tokunbo timing belt is better that new one. What are your thoughts and cost implications.

Thanks.

Good evening to u motto guru; a Toyota Siena 2000 or so not to sure on the year of manufacture, suddenly started misbehaving.. I started d car one morning like dat n it worked fine, I parked it and went out . few hours later I can back started d car and d following issues started.
1: The car sounds like crap, the sound was so bad as if dia was leakages on the exhaust, if u attempt raising car rpm u would hear dix kinda sound ( putupuutuupoooom pooom !!!!!!!)
2: once I switch d car dix kinda sound I hear both on idle and wen I depress the gas pedal, I then opened the hood and noticed that dia is a continuously clicking sound from d injectors. I checked the fuses and relays okay, I went ahead and disconnected all the injectors supply feed on the injector connector still yet the injector still keeps clicking even without a getting 12v
3: I checked for a short to ground and , and also tested each injector wt a digital multimeter all seem to have same range of resistance and I back probed it to check for 12v which I got on my DM
3: before this happened the car normally communicate wt my obd scanner but since the problem came up d car hasn't been able to communicate it keeps say obd communication error, verify if key is on n bla bla.
4: called and rewire and he said it was a brainbox issue...

My Camry 2000. Is misbehaving;
I observe the car is hesitating, most especially between 1500 - 2000 RPM.
I have done some few time up hoping to get improvement. I have replaced the following;
1. The spark plugs
2. Change oil and filter( it's due for change)
3. Fuel pump(I bought new one but from testimony I got to know that the tokunbo does better. Though I do not have tools to check pressure to ascertain the new I bought)
4. Have also cleaned the injector nozzles.

What could be wrong and what else can I do to get a better result?

Good Evening Bros, please I would like to know the fuel consumption rate of a 2003 Acura MDX, considering purchasing one. And can you state amount of fuel one can buy to get the S.U.V through a week's usage considering the 3.5l V6 engine. Anticipating your reply, Thanks

jeraw:
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I have heard that Honda V6 engines and transmission (on the Pilot for example) are not too reliable and very expensive to replace. so kindly enlighten me on why you picked the Honda Pilot above the Volvo xc90. Also would you consider a Niaja used Mercedes Benz ML350 2003-2005 model a good option?
I was hoping you would also come up with suggestions of your own based on your professional experience.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Motorguru

I just bought a Nigerian used Toyota Camry 2003, I noticed that when I'm driving, I hear a tick-tock sound(like when you turn the indicator light on but in this case, the indicator is not on). The tick-tock sound makes the light on Drive gear on the dashboard, the lights for time and temprature and the lights on the AC console to flicker intermittently. What could be the possible cause?

Plus, what oils do I need to change on the vehicle as a new owner?

Thank you Sire.

@MotorGuru plz help me check if this cars mpg is OK.
From reserve tank at 0 mile. Fuel of 2k(13 litres) was added and from 0 mile it now reads 51 miles.
Car is a 3.0 v6 avalon.
Does it mean car only does 51 miles with 13 litres.
Is the mpg OK?
Drive is without AC
Tnx
