Mementoes:
If there's no vacuum leak, then you should replace the IACV. Yes, it can cause intermittent stalling. Anytime your foot is not on the gas pedal, the IACV is in operation.
Hope your engine timing has never been messed with?

Thanks. I will replace the IACV and report back. I don't know if I have issues with timing. D car drives well oda than the issues I mentioned. Infact I travelled more than 400km with the car.

I also noticed something though wouldn't know if it has implication, as I was driving at night, d dashboard lights flickers intermittently especially that background light on d dashboard n d headlamp seem to b brighter as d engine rev up.

Thanks so much @Mementoes

Mementoes:
This seems like a vacuum leak problem. Does this stalling get worse when the engine is hot?

I have checked there is no vacuum leak anywhere. I am suspecting the IACV because of high idling after reading up a couple of things about its operation. But I wouldn't know if it could also cause the intermittent stalling. I had changed the complete throttle body together with d sensors on it but all to no avail.

I have spent so much with mechanics trying to figure out what the problem could be. I will appreciate help on this forum please

Demrich:
sir what do you mean by 'entire intake' cos mine is always bt 1500rpm to 2000rpm when i start in the morning bt wl go bt 700-1000rpm when i engage the gear. The problem started when mech spray throttle body wt injector. cleaner.

Please i would ask same question, what exactly is "entire intake"? I have changed the throttle body though did not replace FITV and IACV. Thanks for your help

Hello @luvinhubby. Though i started a tread on this but i felt you could still be of help.

I have a honda accord 1996 (a.k.a Honda Bulldog). I'm having issues with the car. First is that the idle run is very high, 1500 - 2000RPM. I took it to the mechanic, they services the throttle body and IACV and FITV but the problem continued. Another mechanic now used foam to block the two holes inside the throttle body and the problem of high idle run stopped. It runs now at about 800-1000RPM. Another issue started, the car just stalls intermittently mostly when you want to move the car, like if you start it starts normally, idles normally, but once you engage the gear to drive and press the throttle pedal, the car will stall with the dashboard lights on. If you start it right after it starts normally. This happens randomly that i cannot predict when it will happen. If somehow i manage to make it not to stall when it want to by quickly depressing the gas pedal hard it will move but at any point i brake that the car will come to a stop, if i want to move again as in press the gas pedal the engine will go off. As a result at times the car goes off on the road.

I have gone to several mechanics and car electricians yet the issue has persisted. Sometimes if i go to the mechanic the problem will not occur and i will not be able to simulate it.

In the process of trying to resolve the problem, i have replaced the following: fuel pump, distributor, fuel pump relay, plugs, throttle body.

I will appreciate any help to resolve this problem.

Hello Siena,

Please reply to my post. I'm really counting on you.

Hello Siena, you are doing a wonderful job here. Please do keep it up.
I want to buy a 1997 Golf III Estate, Auto Transmission. On looking at the car closely, i discovered it has over types of PETROL engines and i am confused. some of them include 1.4L(60HP), 1.6L(Single Fuel Injection, 75HP), 1.6L(Multiple Fuel Injection, 100HP),1.8L(Single Fuel Injection, 90HP), 2.0L(115HP), {source: http://www.autoevolution.com/cars/volkswagen-golf-iii-5-doors-1992.html#aeng_volkswagen-golf-iii-3-doors-1992-20}. I really do not understand this technology of single and multiple fuel inject system and how it impacts on the car and its maintainability by our local mechanics. Also, does the Automatic Transmission on Golf III have know issues that will force me to go for manual?
The 1.4L seems a bit underpowered at just 60HP while the 1.6L(MFI, 100HP) seems good @ 100HP but the MFI. Some people even claim the carburetor type is better than injector but all Golf III are either SFI or MFI. You can even see Golf III converted to carburetor because as they say the Injector system in Golf III is problematic. i don't know if any of these is true.
Please i need your expect advice on which of the engines should i go for and the some explanations on these ambiguities. I want to make informed decision NOT just what everybody is saying on the street. I will be using our local mechanics and NOT Volkswagen Dealership.
Thanks in advance

Hi. Thanks for all your efforts on this thread.

Does 1999 Sharan 1.8T come with Automatic Transmission? I see Auto Tranny on 2.0L versions.

Does 1999 Sharan 1.8T and 2001 Sharan 1.8T share engine with any other volkswagen car?

Thank you so much

So when is the press conference coming up?

@op

Are these cars still available?

How much will also land Toyota Avensis Verso 2001 or 2002, Auto with REAR Air Conditioning.

Attached is the picture of the vehicle

Hi demola.

Pls how much will land Nissan Micra 2001 or 2002, manual?

Hello Bro.

How much will clear 2003 Toyota Avensis Verso from UK (RHD) and 2002 Volkswagen Sharan?

looking forward to your prompt response

hello bro.

Can you get 2001 or 2002 Sharan 1.8T with rear air conditioning or climate control?

If yes, how much will b the landing cost?

This is the position of hand brake lever of original LHD Avensis. The difference is clear.

We are all here to educate ourselves.

To further buttress my point that this car is originally RHD but converted to LHD, look at these RHD Avensis cars and observe the position of the hand brake lever

I meant converted from RHD TO LHD.

As a standard, the hand brake lever is closer to the side where the steering wheel is originally.

Now look at no 3 picture of car, you will notice the hand brake lever is closer to right hand side which shows this car is ORIGINALLY RHD then converted to LHD.

I'm not saying the car is not good but buyers should know what exactly they are buying. Let's do clean business here.

Op, the car is converted. Do not deceive potential buyers

Is there a way to check your engine block number before buying the car?

@OP, both are good cars but you have to beware of 2AF-FE engine fixed to That model of Camry and some 2005 Avensis. The engine has a peculiar issue which has been widely reported.

Personally, I will go with Avensis with 1AF-FE 2.0L engine. Very rugged, durable and prestigious. Which ever one you choose, avoid 2AF-FE engine. If you prefer Camry, consider the V6 option.

Let us know your decision.

Sorry @op, I didn't know Mazda MPV do come with four cylinders.

You can also consider the vehicle in the picture.

@OP, Mazda MPV 2000 is uses V6 engine. You may go with Sienna. The passengers will have to pay higher because of low fuel efficiency of sienna.

Sienna is more durable and reliable. Wish you the best.

@OP

It actually depends on your priorities. Toyota Sienna is more luxurious than Picnic but less fuel efficient. Just like others have said, the 1st generation comes with 3.0L V6 engine while Picnic comes with 2.0L I4 engine.

Both vehicles are very durable but it terms of cost of maintenance, Sienna is higher. Talk of comfort, Sienna wins with rear air conditioning, more luggage space. Picnic is more portable with very small luggage space.

You can agree with me that it all depends on your priorities in terms of vehicle specifications.

However, i want to suggest this car to you, it called Toyota Avensis Verso, 2.0L I4 engine producing 145hp. Its actually a higher model of Picnic starting from 2001.

Canme4u:
it works with almost all android phones. It is Glo BIS for bb but we found a way to make it work on android devices and you can also use them on PC/lappy via Hotspot/wifi.


Comonth to **** to subsicbe.

Plz can I use it on iPad?

Plz does this problem also affect the 1AZ-FE 2.0L engines?

Thanks @Lexusgs430 for the brief explanation. However, i saw more explicit explanation and i want to share it. Source: http://www.raccars.co.uk/news/article/2343/what-is-the-difference-between-air-con-and-climate-control


Most modern cars come with air conditioning as standard. You may think climate control is the same thing – but it is not!

The two systems work in different ways, and there’s a price difference between them as a result (air con is cheaper than climate control). Here we explain the difference…

Air con

Air conditioning cools air and allows the inside of the car to be colder than the outside. This is why cars with air con are so welcome in summer – as the sun blazes, chilled air from a compressor offsets it within the car.

To get the maximum blast of air conditioned flow, press the air con button (usually depicted by a snowflake-like symbol) and turn the temperature dial to ‘C’ or the blue zone of its range. If you want it warmer, turn it towards ‘H’ or the red zone: this gradually mixes in warmer air with the air conditioned charge.

As ambient temperatures, the amount of sunshine and even the speed of the car all change, you’ll need to alter the temperature dial to maintain an even temperature inside the car. This means drivers have to sometimes adjust it quite frequently – and this can even lead to battles with their passengers who prefer a different temperature!

Even so, air con is invaluable: it is why you now rarely see modern cars with their windows down when the sun is shining…

Climate control

Think of this as ‘smart air con’. Climate control still cools the air in summer, but does so intelligently. You set a specific temperature on the dial (say, 22 degrees) and a computer uses sensors to vary air con output to maintain this.

No matter if it is +30 degrees or -10 degrees outside, the interior of your car will always be kept at the temperature you set. It does this by smartly blending cold and warm air, constantly adjusting the balance to maintain an interior climate.

It’s real ‘set and forget’ stuff – some owners say they set the temperature once, when they had the car new, and haven’t touched it again in all the time they've owned it.

Climate control also often offers ‘dual zone’ control: the passenger can set a different temperature zone to the driver. Really expensive cars have multi-zone control, so those in the back can create their own temperature cocoon too.

For this reason, climate control is more expensive than standard air con. It requires sensors, digital displays and complicated algorithms to juggle fan speed, temperature flow and air con usage.

There is an added benefit to climate control though – it has the potential to save you money. Because it only uses the air con when needed, it may consume less power than standard ‘dumb’ air con which simply runs unchecked all the time.

Some modern climate control systems also have an ‘economy’ setting that do all the climate-controlling work without using the air con system (or using it only minimally). The car won’t be as cold in summer but you probably won’t notice when it’s colder – and you’ll save a lot more fuel as you go, too.

Needless to say, if you buy climate control, you’re also buying an air con system. Just a much more intelligent one…

Thank you for uploading the file. Its very informative. I was little bit confused if climate control is same thing as air conditioning. In that document, it talked about air con and climate control separately so it got me thinking if they are different things.

@nurey I had checked wikipedia but did not get d info hence my posting it here. I have learnt so much about cars in this forum that I'm always very confident that I cam get info about any car in this forum.

Please house i need contributions to this thread.

I want to find out if Volkswagen Sharan 2001 model has rear air conditioning? I know that [1995-1999] model does NOT have but just wondering if [2000-2003] has.

Also, some people say that the [1995-1999] model, 4-cylinder (the type mostly used by transporters in Nigeria) uses same engine as Golf 3. How true is this? Does the [2000-2003] model, 4-cylinder use same engine as the pre-2000 model, i.e. supposedly same engine as golf 3? If NO, which of the Volkswagen 4-cylinder vehicles do they share engine with?

I will appreciate all informed responses.

Attached is the picture of 2001 Sharan

Hello.
Please how much will clear these RHD cars:
1. Toyota Avensis Verso 2002
2. Toyota Avensis 2004
Note that the two cars are RHD

Thank you
