AutoMoTech:
A faulty connection on the rear light makes the car loose power on bends.... Fantabulous

ITbomb:
I'm having problems with misfire on hyundai accent, after doing all mechanic says the npk plug I've been using isn't good. Which plug do you use for hyundai

AutoMoTech:
In addition dont forget to fix TPS fault. As this will affect your diagnosis is the PCM doesn't know the position of the throttle opening.
Also Check the Operation of injector for cylinder one.
Confirm its not stuck open probably a short causing it to constantly spray fuel there-by causing cylinder wash which will the result in worn piston ring/wall.
If its not the above, since you have confirmed low
to no compression on cylinder one, next is to find out if its a compression leak to crankcase or via a broken valve seal.

kingreign:
No compression, either head gasket or worn out cylinder failure or stuck valve.

GAZZUZZ:
is the head gasket graphite or metal?

autologic:
You have extreme case of dead hole on cylinder one which was the reason for the cylnder soaking fuel as no compression power on that cylinder to ignite air fuel mixture .
Do a further test (vacuum intake test , compression wet test,leakdown test ) to eliminate other variable eg to confirm if u are dealing with valve leak, cylinder bore wash or piston rings issue .
I don't think this is head gasket issue because this a classical single cylinder dead misfire.For head gasket issue ,the low compression will hold more than 1 cylinder.
Love to see that we are stepping up our diagnostics game .Nice one

As promised. Here's the final outcome.
I wasn't able to get a blue coated polarizer, a guy that does glass tinting that I asked said it only comes in black shade and any other coloured one would most likely have come with the vehicle. Dunno how true that it.

Anyway I used the black shade one and now my speedometer and gauges are clearly visible although not producing the original blue background.

NO STEERING OH. The gear oil. My Mechanics told me this was not a perfect gear for the car

Hello House.

I have been using toyota corolla 2003 for a while now with ni any engine problems. Toward the ending of Feb, the hose of my auto engine fuild got scratched by one of the pulley and the oil wasted away. I just stop to buy petrol and to move was difficult, I came down to check I saw oil every where and Mechanics in d fuel station helped me to change the hose and asked me to buy this attached for auto gear fluid.

Since then have been using the car without problems. Since lockdown, I have not been going far. Today I went far, I noticed when slowed down for traffic light, the car won't pick quickly, I will accelerate down and move slowly b4 the accelerator read up quickly by moving d car at hight speed and I will release my leg to go minimum.

Please what can be the issue. Tanks

Kudos to Mrford for a thorough and professional AC installation. My AC is cooling like deep freezer now

No be small thing o...I had to rip out the stereo set, tachometer cover before I can get to the screws that hold the speedometer cluster cover. I guess it's how much I hate not having that background look that pushed me on and I equally used the opportunity to clean all my A/C air vent.
As for getting the overlay replacement I have asked my brother to help me ask his friend that deals in auto parts but if I can get it then I'll probably use a blue tint...sense will not kill me. Lolz

cdoffx:
So I decided to follow the YouTube video I watched and pry open my dashboard to get to the speedometer. Here's what I noticed after opening the speedometer, the led is actually white and the blue backlight is actually an overlay(i confirmed this on some Civic forum too)on the LCD screen.
In my case it seems that overlay has been burnt maybe by heat and then I think it's been changed before cos it's not blue but black or maybe the heat burn made it look black.

1. Okay will try to replace the steering pump

2. I didn't check the fuel pressure before replacing but, I changed both the filter and the pump

3. I will scan the engine immediately after this lockdown

4. I will replace that too.

Thank you very much

Hello guys,
I drive Honda pilot 04, and I have a series of issues with it now
1. When on low speed, the steering becomes very hard to turn until I rev a little bit before it goes fine.
2. When driving atimes, I noticed it sometimes just looses thrust especially when it's on low fuel ( I have replaced the fuel pump and no difference)
3. Hard starting is getting worse
4. I noticed there is a oil leakage between the gearbox and the engine block.
I don't know if anybody here had experienced such before and how they went about fixing it.
And like how much is the front bumper for pilot 04 now

cdoffx:
I just watched a YouTube video and it's soldered although the guy in the video was able to change and re-solder but I guess it's not for someone who's not a professional. Also another video on the process of remove the dashboard to be able to access the speedometer looks tedious and complicated. It's looks like removing the whole front compartment from the driver side to the stereo and A/C side.

I just checked your signature and seems you are in PH...that's a long way from here. Guess I'll just stick to displaying the speedometer reading on my stereo display, that's still manageable.

cdoffx:
I was suspecting that too...got an idea if it can be replaced?

adejide2:
The scanner didn't give any code related to transmission fault when the car was scanned.

Bigleaf1006:
There hasn't been harmattan in Lagos for as long as i can remember but outside Lagos,it can really get a bit chilling during harmattan.

U hardly get sub 22 23 degrees in naija even during harmattan. If that were possible,it would be paradise over here.

cdoffx:
Yeah it's at maximum brightness....it seems you don't understand what I'm describing. You know the display has a kind of blue background light. It's that blue background light that is not there again which now makes the display not very visible in the afternoon.
I have attached a picture below to show the blue background I'm talking of...mine is not having that blue background again

adejide2:
Please I am still waiting for any possible response

jboixxx:
.a) It's by luck, but don't use express shipping, it's a direct request for NCS invoice.
b) it's the major shipping method used for phones aside the likes of DHL, FedEx, EMS
c)Yes, they can but I won't advise you place any order for now except you're willing to wait for more than 2months.

I repeat, this isn't a good time to order! Delivery issue might come up due to our lockdown here and it'd be unfair to open dispute cuz of that. So, wait till the govt relaxes this. You can use jumia or check Xiaomi thread store on Nairaland. Reasonably priced phones are sold there too if you're in a hurry.

How much can someone budget to have a working ac in a 2001 camry...

Since the ist gas finished or leaked, no one has checked it, and it's been years.
Once u just on it, it blows just air.

Want to get it back working.
