[color=#550000]First time car owners....


You have an engine misfire.

Check plugs , injectors and sparkplugs .

Mr. GAZZUZZ,

I have a similar issue. I drive Honda Accord 2005. My observation is whenever the AC is ON and I am going down a heel like my legs are on brake, or in a traffic the car would rev as if it enters neutral by the time I place my leg on the throttle to accelerate. Most times I would need to put off the car and start again before the car will start moving again otherwise it would continue to rev without moving.
Thanks

The reply to your question was wrong. You need to check yr odometer to know if it's calibrated in miles or kilometers.

If it's 314miles, and you achieved that with 30litres (8.1gallons), then your mpg is 38.7, which I can almost say is impossible for city driving even for a corolla.

If it's 314km (196miles), then your mpg is 24.2 which is just fair for a corolla.

So recheck and be sure.

32 mpg for my corolla.

Pls any idea will be appreciated. I have a Lexus es300 and recently I notice a change of sound similar to a mustang racing car.

I went under and observed that the exhaust pipe has completely cut at the junction before the pot, going outward and that junction is completely damaged by rust.

I took it to welder who used oxyacetylene to put a pipe in place of the joint and welded. However I started the car right there and there was still noise, though lesser.

He said my exhaust pot and muffler is damaged.

This Car used to be as silent as any good small v6 when idling but now on startup u hear aloud gruuuummmm which slowly dies down but not completely as before as rpm moves from 1.2 to stick at 800 just 10 seconds after startup.

Question is should I go ahead to replace pot? I no wan do trial and error.

Is there any diagnostic test I need to run to be sure. I have no exhaust related CEL

Gurus in the house. My 2010 Toyota Venza V6 averages 12mpg on intercity driving. Is this low for the mileage. I feel it is, and please what could be causing this low mileage.

What can I do to increase it. Really appreciate answers

Below are the specs for your car

Your city driving should be 18mpg.
Your Highway driving should be 25mpg
Combined driving should be 21mpg.

I advise you scan your car and post the error codes here. A number of factors could cause high mileage but let's not do guesswork.

Abeg how much is a single car orb, the one for solara, mine was making a wincing sound whenever I drove, once I press the break the sound stops, but once I lift my leg it starts again, I took it to the mecho side, he said the orb is done/bad that I will get another.

Start by getting your engine mount checked and replaced if needed. Hopefully this fixes the vibration. As long as your gears selact perfetly of course.

Where is your location? You should replace the intake If its damaged and can't stay the way the manufacturer designed it so as to prevent problems.

You need to visit a panelbeater or mechanic to close to you.they'd be in the best position to install it properly for you. Dont drive thru waters if the hose is hanging this low or else you risk hydro-locking your engine.
