Evaporator is icing. This is not good.

You have thermostat issues, or possibly a system not vacuumed, or finally a faulty expansion valve .

Remote diagnosis is not possible .

I just fixed a new thermostat a month ago,

And Sir, let's I forget, it comes out in only two vent, not the whole vent Sir....

After I notice that my car always emmit some kind of smoke that I always pinch my eyes like tear gas, I decided to buy a scanner although there is no CEL and this code shows up 'p0115'.
Now to Google search, I can't find the sensor or cable for it on my engine

Chaii! This car has been heavily kazzeemized

The so- called B.eng shows the decay level and rots in our educational system and we can't use this semi illiterate guys as yard stick ,cos they are engineers on paper, no innovative ideas that solve practical problems.
Modern cars have gone so much sophisticated technologic wise that it takes science oriented geeks to handle them .
I had had opportunity to attend a lot of automotive seminars and workshop abroad and I sees alot of professors and PhD holders running a auto workshop and coming out with lot of high level testing methods and contributing innovative ideas into the industry just because their society value system strive on science knowledge that solve practical problems unlike own which is why you see the artisans handling what the science guys are suppose to take charge .
Seriously the artisans "kazeem" have no business handling sensitive parts cos their mind can't just comprehend those high tech stuff ,and you the car owner will be putting yourself at risk as well.


I agree with you 100% must of the mechanics are stuck with olden day technology.. Cars are getting more sophisticated than ever before....... It is very hard to find good mechanics that can work on a current year car .......

To make u laugh.. I saw a Volvo xc60 2018 0r so .. I was so amaze at the car .. The first thing I did was to open the bonnet of the car .. They way the engine was design and put together.. I couldn't tell were the alternator is or radiator all these little things that you see in a 20 year old car .... I was thinking if I were to take the car to Nigeria.. I just remove that from my mind.. How many Nigerian mechanics can fix a car like that? Just looking at the engine bay u will be amaze and confuse at the same time......

Nigerian mechanics are not learning new technology that will enable them to be currant with latest technology. Any car that as too many sensor is not good because they can't fix it or don't know how to ....

Good evenin houz, Oga gazzuzz pls ds is for you, please i just returned my car ( camry 05) to factory setting after the direct fan connection by "Kazeem". Lol you know what i mean.
1, I now have the thermostat installed and working well,
2, I now have fan coming on as normal.
3, Af sensor working.
4, Car has no catalyst hence no downstream 02 sensor.

Problem is it still consumes fuel. Please what can i do?

scan your car, post the codes. You MUST have a functional downstream sensor for proper functionality

Your Air fuel ratio(AFR) seems wrong. Check the value on the Google and compare to yours. Probably the sensor might be faulty. Or drive for sometime and post these screenshots again

Please gurus in the house my 07 camry 2.4 acceralates very sluggish one's I hit 2000 rpm under load and on normal road not hill.
Its feels like something is dragging the engine back from acceleration one's it gets to 2000rpm while driving but on idling its accelerates well.
Have changed fuel pump, spark plugs and also swap throttle body yet no result.
No DTC set even when scanned no pending code

Looks like your fan is connected directly thereby making the engine not to reach optimum operating temperature. Also I think your indomie has been tampered with. Cos the O2 sensor detected by the code is the one after the catalyst.

Gear sensor is it an Honda? I once had such issue
Sud be scanned first then the sensor might be replaced that's if it's not the gear that's bad

Timing related codes, and O2 sensor .

Not DIY.

Hello Gazzuzz, and other gurus in the house. I recently scanned my CR-V '98, and got the following results...

i, P1359 - Crankshaft Position Top Dead Center Sensor Circuit

ii, P0135 - O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1

iii, P1456 - EVAP Control System Leak detected (Fuel Tank Area)

How do i resolve these issues as it has started gulping fuel, with fluctuating high temp.? Thanks
