Scan it and post codes here. Most times, the issue is the knock sensor or tps issue. But still run a scan and post codes so we can better advice you.

GAZZUZZ:


one sch of thought says it overheats the gearbox

Honda city 2007
Auto with cvt gear.

Issue. Car has been parked for over a month. Prior to parking, car had no issue.
Tried to start car two days ago but realised the battery was flat.
Tried to jump-start. Car started, ran for about 10 seconds and went off. All efforts to restart proved abortive.
Bought another battery and tried again but car won't start.
No check engine light.
Replaced all coils and plugs. There is spark on all plugs when tested.
Fuel pump hums as should and fuel flowed out of the fuel line when opened. Fuel pressure okay as per what I saw.
The replacement plugs got wet after periods of cranking and were dried and brushed clean and reinstalled.
Hand held scanner showed the rpm to be about 200rpm during cranking.
I don't know what else to do. I have called a mechanic who said that there may be low compression. This engine has 95000km on the odo.
Is this possible at this mileage?
What should I look out for?

Good morning boss
Sir, My boss has a nissanaltima 2005. the car always jerk whenever he drives. we have taken it to all available local men to no avail. It jerks whenever we make a U-turn or once you decelerate and you want to throttle. ANYTHING TO BE FIXED SIR?

TINKU01:
For a first time car user which is a better buy based on maintenance and availability of spare parts sir
1.) Nigerian used 2003 Toyota Rave 4?
2.) Nigerian used Acura MDX 2007/2008/2009?
I could have considered a corolla but it’s not spacious enough for my work and it’s a target for thieves.
Any better sir suggestions? Thanks

heyjay:
Well done boss! I have this Avensis 07 that works seamlessly when in reverse gear, but act as if in neutral when put in Drive. It won't engage until I rev the engine, but works perfectly once it has overcome inertia. The only exemption to this anomaly happens when the car is first started; it works well. I have changed gear filter & ATF, but without much difference.

I just got a Toyota corolla 2007 model last year. Initially o used conventional Mobil oil. I stitched to Mobil synthetic this year and have not serviced in 6 months. The car is jerking a bit and i got our company driver to check, he says i may have to change the plugs and service... Some of my friends says Synthetic oil is not necessary for Older, high mileage cars... my car is about 135k.... what do you think please ?

What is the effect of option 2 of fuel consumption

MotorGuru:


Catalyst is losing its capacity to ensure exhaust gases are rid of NOx emmisions

solutions:

1. Replace catalyst with a new unit (expensive)
2. Use an Oxygen sensor apdator to fool the ECU (cheapest)
3. gut out catalyst (AND DO NOT PUT WIRE GAUZE INSIDE). Engine will sound louder

Help error code p0420 on pontiac vibe 2005

[/b][b]Please dear Nairaland Car Gurus,

I need your candid and genuine advice. I'M A LADY. Which of the two ( 2003 Nigerian used corolla or TOKUNBO 2002 corolla )do I go for AS A FIRST CAR? Considering the nature of our roads, durability, fuel economy, and sleekness
I think both of them are of the same price.


Thanks

Dear Motor Guru,

Please what could have triggered them and what is possible solution. Thanks n anticipation of your response.

codemaster2much:


Any idea of the price boss?

GAZZUZZ:


Try and say something intelligent

timifakay:
If it was sold at an auction site, what's the primary and secondary loss on the vehicle?

If its nothing serious there's a very high likelihood the 2AZ engine in that car is already having oil shortage issues...

Lexusgs430:



I know the US is bigger than bombay (I have been a few times)..... But does not preclude the issues at hand..... Year vs mileage vs cost of purchase........

Gbpereluvmama:

key points
Cost of maintainance
Reliability
luxury
fuel Economy.
Vehicle parts cost and possibly engine.
please guide a brother so happiness of buying a car wont turn to a torn in the flesh.
