Sienna 09 with mileage 114745
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by conyema12(m): 6:36pm On Jul 18, 2021
Good afternoon Chief Gazzuz, i currently have a persisting problem in my toyota rav4 2007 with 2gr-fe Engine. I only wished i am based in Lagos, I would have visited your workshop.

The car lags. When i try raise fire by pressing the gas pedal, the response from the engine is not instant. Most times when i get to a junction and want to join the traffic, it lags before moving like a bullet.

We have changed spark plugs, checked the coils, serviced the injectors and replaced the fuel pumps twice, yet the problem persists.
we currently have:
DTC codes: 1 p2402 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection pump control circuit high.
2 p2419 Evaporative Emission System switching Valve Control Circuit Low.
3 p 2401 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection pump control circuit low
4 p043E Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Reference orifice Low Flow
5 p043F Evaporative Emission System Leak Detection Reference orifice High Flow

Pls could this be the problem with the car?

Thank you Baba Gazzuz

If your transmission oil is black/brown, replace it. If it is bright pink/reddish, leave it alone .

Check fuel pump and replace assy if bad

Boss I checked the transmission oil and it was brown...so I want to replace it but I don't know which one to buy.
Which one would you recommend and what's d price range.

I haven't checked d fuel filter

Morning bro, is there any permanent solution on a squealing roller, I have a C350 2013 and it does squeal sometimes, noticed when I splash a little hydraulic on it, it stops immediately but I need something that’ll last longer, I’ve changed all rollers

Good morning oga GAZZUZZ

I bought a Toyota Corolla 2010 and I am intending on changing the four tyrres but there has been some confusion on what guideline to follow.

The vehicle manual specifies tyre size to be P205/55/R16 89H
While the label on the driver's door is specifies P199/65/R15

I now decided to check the tyres that came with the car and found 195/65/R15 * 91H

The first picture is the vehicle manual while the second picture is the one I snapped on the driver's door


Which tyre specification would you advice I buy for the car
