Your vehicle landed without any accident reported.

You should scan the airbags, might be a minor issue.

08033910382 can scan it if you in Lagos.

Oga gazzuz, can replacing the starter solenoid make a car start vibrating on starting or stopping. I just changed the one for my 09 Corolla today. Immediately I started the car, it began vibrating seriously. The technician said it because he disconnected the battery that after I've driven it for a while it will become normal

Hello Guru's.

Toyota Camry 2010 pops up 'engine check' and 'traction control off' light.
If parked for long, they disappear and appears/stays after long driving.
Kazeem once scanned and gave p0420(missing catalytic converter).
Using the tires (Michelin) that came with the car and they are apparently new.
***By the way - Will want the outside temp. to work too***

Hate to see those lights on dashboard. How do I go about it?


Abuja at the moment and can visit a recommended/referred expert.

Oga Gazzuzz, will the 02 Sensor Spacer assist on the p0420.

Thank you.

Hi Gazuuz. Nice job you are doing, having read through this trend and it's the most trend were one can find solution to persistent car issues. Thanks once again.

I use a carmy 04 model v6, 1mzfe.

Pls of recent I got my CEL on, scanned it the codes are
P0300
P0301
P0303
P0305
P0420
P0430

Have changed spark plugs, checked coils (with a multimeter they are okay, even swapped coils, since it's a V6 but I still get misfire codes in the banks 1) changed fuel filter, gotten new air filter, serviced fuel injector, at a time I swapped the fuel injector bank 1 to bank 2 and vice versa.

Still get these codes come up after covering 75Miles.

My kazeem says the car compression is okay,


I don't feel any drivability issues. It's revs well and fires well on the road. My mech even took it for s spin drive and said that the car picks very quickly and well unlike other cars he has driven.

Pls Gazuuz and other car gurus, Autologic and all
I need your help in resolving this issue as am not comfortable with these CEL codes being on.

Thanks

Attached is a pics of the CEL codes.

I have exactly this same issue, but mine is Bank 6 have you solved yours? how were you able to solve it if you have?

I have swapped ejector nozzle
swapped coil
changed plug
Air filter
and the error code is still there.

Car gurus in the house, i need urgent help.

The spark plugs in my car hasn't been replaced for the past 3yrs it landed Nigeria.

The car runs fine without any misfire, but am just worried not to have problem when it's time replace them.

My guess was actually right, i got new plugs ready, but as we speak, the plugs are stuck. I couldn't loose them, I don't want to force them to avoid them breaking.

Pls is there any technique i can use to get them out without causing harm to my engine?

Might be a compression issue, or just spark plugs.

Cylinder 6 on what engine?
