Valtteri: 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. |

idris4r83: 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 My frnd na his rewire fix am sef Na 2 half ur fuel tank be so fuel dey run stay for the 2nd part (full tank to half) instead of staying in first part (reserve to just b4 half tank) |

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 |

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 |

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 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.
