Thank you do much. I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.
U wlcm it happend to me b4

Ur acceleration will feel dull when u are driving then u slow down and try to speed up again

Until u kickdown b4 it clear up and continue normal

That time they were telling me say na my worn engine mount cause am

But las las na those sensors

I noticed some misfiring with the car, and the rpm is really low when idle. Apart from this, the vehicle moves smoothly especially when on speed. It’s only from being stationary, or when moving on low speeds that there’s a delay in acceleration. I don’t know if this make sense.

So I took it to radautoworks this morning. The diagnosis was intake camshaft sprocket, exhaust camshaft sprocket and timing chain. But the pricing they gave me is even more than the cost of an engine. I don’t see how I would spend N6m for these parts.
Change ur crankshaft position sensor and camshaft sensor


Thats ur problem.. disregard all that rubbish dem dey tell u

It happened to me

This issue dey cause poor fuel economy and rough idling

engine timing issues caused by failing sensors very prone on m271/m272 engine

Valtteri:
So I scanned it and some codes came up. I just need a Benz technician that can diagnose what’s wrong without trial and error.

The codes:

Code 1337
P0597
P0016
P0017
P0056 &P0036

It’s a 2011 ML350
1. P1337
• Usually related to crankshaft or camshaft correlation issues, or misfire detection. On some Benz models, it can also indicate ignition system problems.

2. P0597
• Fan Control Circuit “A” High
• Means the engine cooling fan is getting too much voltage or there’s a short in the fan control circuit. Could cause overheating if ignored.

3. P0016
• Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation
• The crank and cam sensors aren’t syncing properly. Could be timing chain/belt issues, faulty sensors, or connector problems.

4. P0017
• Crankshaft Position – Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 2)
• Same as P0016 but on the second bank of the engine (V6/V8). Usually appears with P0016.

5. P0056
• O2 Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 2, Sensor 2) High
• Indicates a problem with the oxygen sensor heater or wiring. Can cause poor fuel economy and emissions issues.

Good day gurus in the house, pls I have this issue with my w202. There's alot of fuel in the tank as its even in half tank, the fuel pump is okay, filter is okay and even a new one, fuel guage is okay, fuelling system is very much okay but the tank seems to be retaining the fuel and not dispensing to the filter. If I top up a little it may start and move just a small distance and go off again still retaining fuel inside the tank. Engineers pls come to my aid, this issue is draining me.
my friend face that issue a while ago

Nah your fuel tank ooo it can be fixed talk to your mechanic or rewire

This happened on my 05 w211, i can surely and guarantee you it’s 99% gear selector that needs to be changed, it’s not electrical at all. Just change the gear selector and use scanner to remove it from limp mode when changed. No let anyone tell u anything else
thanks alot
It has been confirmed

Do you know the price of my gear selector?

Car TalkRe: Mercedes Benz Thread by Percival9(m):
hey fellas

Im driving a c180 2003 frog eyes model white top engine v4

Recently the issue I'm facing is sometimes the gear not entering park from drive when i want to shift to reverse if i want to reverse in a street. It will stop in neutral until I turn off the ignition before I can shift to park. And if I turn it back on, I can do it freely until another time. Randomly it will stuck again till i turn off ignition


Someone said its electrical issue and someone said it may be brake switch fault


My auto gear is shifting smoothly only face issue of getting stuck when going to R or P sometimes


I need ur input pls

Please which car do you recommend below 5million for every day movement and uber side hustle, that's very fuel efficient(key) and easy to maintain. Many people suggest corolla but the price is getting ridiculous for even the scrappy looking ones. I need a car that is pleasant to the eye too

nurey:
very reliable with bullet proof engine. Don't change your transmission fluid with anything other than original Honda ATF DW1 as the transmission is sensitive.
Next is to be weary of the shaft, always replace with original parts when it is worn out china brand new alwats collapse in limited space of time.

Apart from that, other known issues are very minor and are caused by wear and tear and the normal condition of our roads
thats great

Im getting one this week

Wey normal prices dey btw 4m - 4.7m
Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Percival9(m): 8:31am On Apr 19, 2025
So guys, I need your input on this. I am planning to buy a Pontiac Vibe 2005. But the recent reports of stolen Pontiac Vibes, they scare me. So, I think of maybe if I buy the car, then I will install GPS tracker which has engine immobilizer. And also that security which I have to press some buttons on the car before I can start it up and move. So, do you think that will suffice in securing the car or should I look for another model? Maybe because what I want is something like Vibe, spacious, which I can carry a lot of stuff. So, my other alternative option was Toyota Matrix 2005 model. I heard they have engine immobilizer, a key sensor, which Pontiac Vibe lack. So, what do you think? Should I just buy the Pontiac Vibe and install the two security? And also steering lock, or should I just look for another different car?

I'm done with it

I deeply regret the time I wasted watching 3 seasons of that show.

The whole thing dey vex me.

If you are looking for a mystery show where the writers actually know what they are doing, check out DARK, STRANGER THINGS, SUPERNATURAL, SEVERANCE

Avoid FROM

The writers don't even know what they're doing. They are just throwing stuff at the wall.

It's better to watch cement dry than waste a minute watching FROM

I pray they cancel that rubbish
Lol season 4 announced

Now everything fall into place we know origin of the monsters and who is controlling the town

Shogun finale flopped hard for me

tongue lipsrsealed undecided

Rubbish
All the build up and anticipation only leads to boring ending


Atleast show us
Lets see ishido face when he realizes he is fighting alone

This was too predictable after mariko death last episode

Cause she already said her death will shake Osaka and dismantle the regents in episode 9


Shogun is too short the skipping too much im disappointed

exactly, i think i have said that here before, most tv shows actors dont make it big to other show/movies. Look at the vampire diaries actors, both the lead male actors. Nothing
Especially Stefan

Great acting

With the success of prison break back then you'd think they'll both have amazing careers after the show. But..... I don't think I have even seen the actress in anything else.
One thing i hate about Series

The performers doesnt get recognized after the particular series

Only happens 1/10 times


Like for example game of thrones the casts got lucky they control the fame well i still see many of them in movies

GO FOR 2013 HONDA ACCORD EX OR EXL
5-6M

Dont burn out your budget
