Oh, I forgot.. It's a Toyota avalon, 1998 model, 6plugs engine. I think the engine uses these tiny-short spark plugs.

Please house, where can I get twin ground electrode platinum-tipped spark plugs? I urgently need it please cos my car is seriously jerking on motion. The plug I get around is the single ground electrode spark plugs, but the manual recommended plug is the twin ground plug. Tanx for your assistance.

I need a London- used BB Q10....

It is an intermitent experience, whether cold or hot.
I really want to scan, but was told it cant be scanned cos the brainbox has been changed.

Solution suggestions pls

Oga Gazzuzz! Pls what do I do?
A mecho said I have to change the whole tranny!
Another one said I must remove the radiator thermostat and run fan direct before I can have peace with the car. I have rejected this suggestion of fan direct for more than 1year, bt getting confused cos of d inability of d car being scanned. Faults wud be difficult to trace.
I drove about 200km yesterday, and it didnt overheat all through, only that its sluggish in climbing heights, aside that, its moving fine and without noise!

Any help pls?

@mods: pls help me with my Toyota Avalon 98 model. I noticed mild jerks frm gear 1 to 2 a while ago, it later graduated into having to rev the engine so high with little acceleration. A mechanic askd me to change d transmission oil frm the seahorse I was using before to Mobil dextron II which I did and d problem was over. After a month i noticed the gear was slow is responding to acceleration sometimes. The car also started overheating. Sometimes too, the car wudnt climb a hill, I usually change to D2 to move up any small height. But this problem comes n go! I attempted scanning the car, but was told that the brainbox has been changed by d dealer and so it can never be scanned (it uses a Sienna engine), that its only guesses that can solve the problem.
A mecho checked d transmission oil and said its not smelling burnt. Another one said its smelling burnt, am just confused.
Pls what do I do?

Hello sooperrescue..
please is it possible to fix faulty shift solenoids in cars?
heard the only way out is to buy another transmission.. please how true is this?

What are the major repairs to be carried out on it?

Can it fly for 250k? What are the problems with it presently? AC working perfectly? If affirmative, we can schedule inspection for nextweek. Very serious buyer

Quotation?

Hello gurus in the house! Please I wish to have an estimaate of what it would cost me to connect electricity to my new site. I understand I would require about 15poles. I hope to connect all the 3phases.
Please can someone help me with an estimate!
1. Cost of nepa pole in Ibadan?
2. Cost of cable and other materials that would be required?
3. Workmanship?
4. Possible PHCN charges?

@ chukel: let me have ur contact so that we can discuss how i can purchase a scanner from you..

@ house: Something very funny happened this morning when i picked the car to locate the nearest diagnistic center. I was actually moving slowly to reduce my risk but I just noticed that the tachometer was no longer reving upwards anylonger. It was terminating/returning from like that position 3.
I didnt believe my observation, and so I decided to move fast. The gear selection was very normal and the speedometer reading became correct too.
I have just completed a 200kilometer journey this evening and I didnt experience that problem throughout.
I would still do the scanning anyway, but at least am back on the road. All i can say I did was that I removed the battery for some time didnt drive the car for the whole of yesterday. Maybe the computer now reset itself, i dont know.
I thank everyone for your concern and contributions.

@ mayor 2013: oh tanx. Am not in lagos or ph anyway. But i would appreciate ur involvement in interpreting the codes when i get them shortly.

@ chuke : Yea, i noticed some debris in the car engine like 4days ago.. An obvious rat intrusion symptom but I did not notice any wire cut.
Tanx. Would go for the scan

@ mayor2013 and omicron : Thank you so much.

The car actually jerked in motion for some time before being stuck in a particular gear.
I would go for the scan tomorrow and post the codes here on this forum for analysis. I appreciate you all

Moving the car around now looks scary sef. Dont want another thing to be affected.
Please are my car symptoms signs of failed tranny?

Please house, kindly help me out with my Toyota Avalon 98 model.
I just observed this morning that when I am pressing the pedal (accelerating), the pointer on the tachometer keeps ascending till it gets to 7 and eventually the red zone while the speedometer reading does not exceed 40-50km/hr.
and I also noticed that the gears were not selecting as it works only with a single gear.
The reverse gear. neutral. d2 are all working
ng fine and the car is actually moving around, but with stress.
I consulted my mechanic but he said its the transmission gear that has gone completely bad. I don't seem to trust him anyway cos he is a confirmed Kazeem.
pls my people, what might be wrong with my car? do I really need to change the transmission?
tanx for ur anticipated responses. I am really worried.
