Car Talk / Re: My Corolla With Venza Engine Gulping Up Fuel Like Water (details Inside) by Olubachar(m): 12:07pm |
GerogeI:
First, you should understand that every engine is identified by model number. Not street Mechanic slangs like Venza Engine. Use your car VIN to get detail of your car including engine model and trim online. That will also tell you if the engine has been swapped out, by crosschecking the physical engine.
2. Stop getting mechanics to fiddle with your car, yo will end up with badly tuned car.
3. Nothing wrong with your bank 1(front) and bank 2 (back) oxygen sensors. If your catalyst is missing, engine ECU or computer will be seeing it as faulty bank 2 oxygen sensor. This affects how much fuel your injector sprays into the engine. Infact, most mechanics will even cut the wires to bank 2 oxygen sensors once the catalyst is removed, leaving you ECU running in default setting.
There are several tables or guides stored in your ECU computer which tells it how much fuel to use based on reports from rear O2 sensor. Whenever it is not seeing sensible report from this sensor it assumes something is wrong and uses a default table which will run the engine in an inefficient fuel rich mode, but with enough power such that you may assume nothing is wrong. It's like operating your car with carburettors, and loosing the efficency brought by computer controlled injectors. The only way to fix this problem is to replace your catalyst. If you can't, drive the car as it is because the only other way is to re-programmed the ecu with your own tables which will not be efficient and cost way more than a catalyst. Note- that your scanner guy cannot reprogrammed ECUs. Yankee peeps who do sell them as costly custome ECUs on ebay. And it will still require a catalyst.
So go buy a replacement catalyst. No modern car using computer controlled injection and ignition can run fuel efficiently without catalyst, it is just impossible. To scan your car yourself, buy a Bluetooth ELM 327 OBD2 scanner, download the app on your smart phone and scan your car. Some guy based in a plaza in Ikeja Ogba sells it on Jiji.
You're very correct. You have a valid point. |

Good evening, I have been having issues with the no 1 ignition coil of my 2015 nissan almera. Recently,the problem was traced to the vehicle ECU. I've contacted more than 15 sellers on jiji, and it is either they said I should use an alternative vehicle ECU or buy an older version. Please, where can I get the exact ECU of the vehicle?
The vehicle is in atan,Ogun state.
Pls help |

Car Talk / Re: FRSC Reveals Real Cost Of Obtaining A Driver's Licence by Olubachar(m): 6:44pm On May 20, 2015 |
kayswag100: Lies. Is 13500 in ibadan. That is at their Onireke office. I walked into d office with Old DL that expired 2013.
Even after verifying my details online, I was told to pay 13500. (claiming they don't renew the older DLs anymore).
I was given one flimsy excuse of a Driving School Certificate and other photocopies and told to wait for SMS for physical capture.
I'm sure they know it is almost IMPOSSIBLE TO PAY N6350 @ any of their offices nation wide. #fact The same story in Akure( FRSC office located @ ondo state board of internal revenue building) I was told to pay a sum of 13,500 for renewal of old DL. When I querried the officer in charge he said that I did not obtain the expired DL through the right channel. i.e. I gave someone money and passport the for my expired DL. Meanwhile,he said the actual price of renew a genuine DL is 6,350. |
Health / Re: Deadly Disease Hits Irele In Ondo, Victims Wake Up Blind, At Least 25 Dead by Olubachar(m): 6:55pm On Apr 16, 2015 |
Bobbyjay001: To be candid,let's stop spreading unconfirmed rumour. Am married to an Irele indigene and I just called my mom-in-law to vacate the town. But she claimed that it's not air or water borne-disease. It's law of karma. I was told some guys stole a diety that is very potent and powerful in the town and sold to some white men . It's confirmed that those that pertook in the stealing and everyone that touched the money realised from the sale of the diety die mysteriously. Those involved have started confessing. This is the fact. My in-law has also confirmed it that there is no strange disease in Irele town. She is a native of Irele. People of Irele/Oba/Ondo state government should also address this issue with immediate effect. |
