Good day great engineers My camry 2004 won't start. I parked the car and d next morning I try to start it but the car won't start or cranck. The security light keep flashing even when the key is in ignition. We've checked with system by 2 different rewire guys but seems they are not getting it since last week thursday. I've asked someone to read d key for possible signal error but I was told the key is perfectly okay. Another person checked it today with system after lot of trial and told me is the immobilizer that may be faulty. Pls what could be the issue with the car Oga GAZZUZZ pls I need ur assistance on this |

abiolag: not a very complex machine. It should crank if it meets minimal requirements. The immobiliser is not required for it to crank . Check Battery Starter motor Range switch Ignition lock/switch. |

Good evening Gurus in the house, I drive 2007 Honda Accord 6 cylinder engine. I noticed some days back if i start the Car, the engine off immediately, it went on for like 5 mins then it started and Later that day stopped on the road. Call my rewire and he said its fuel pump. Bought a new fuel pump but the problems persist, Mr. Rewire said its the nozzles and he bought the 6 nozzles. He also changed the Cold start. Alas, the car started working well and after 2 days, the problem came back. Its now that i have to start like 10 times before the engine would be able move without the engine been off. If i parked the car for like 3 hours, it would take constant ignition rolling for like 10 times before the engine would stop to off... Please help a brother, i have also scanned but and nothing spectacular was seen. I stay at Ibadan |

GAZZUZZ: Good evening sir thank you for your response. Please what do you mean by harness?? Part of what I am experiencing is that the car does not move smart as before and the fuel consumption is a bit on the high side. Looking forward to your reply. |

GAZZUZZ:I told my rewire to check all the above mentioned for possible culprit but he's still saying the fault is not coming from any of it. He called a guy who says he will bring machine for reprogramming of the vehicle which I'm not cool with. I wonder why a car I parked overnight without any issue could develop a fault so fast that will require reprogramming and to think is just ordinary camry 2004 Pls sir what else can I do? |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by equity2genesis(m): 10:08am On Jan 29, 2022 |
Dear gurus in the house. My 2004 accord shorts oil and the engine is not smoking, I have been driving the car for about 4 years now. It started mid last year and I upgraded the oil from 'Honda oil 5w 20" to "Mobil 5w 30" This did not solve the problem. I serviced the engine on January 3rd with the mobil 5w 30, I checked the oil level yesterday, it has dried up, you can hardly see the oil on the dipstick. I had to manage it to a Mobil station and toped it up with a 20w 50. I called my Mech and he stated the issue is peculiar with Accord and some Camry models. Dear experts, I need your advice and what to do, please. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Conner44: 10:29am On Jan 29, 2022 |
equity2genesis: Either you have a leakage , bad pcv valve or your engine is actually smoking To check For leaks park overnight after a long drive and place newspapers on the floor held with stones under the engine For pcv valve just change it because it’s relatively cheap For smoking let someone drive behind you while you’re driving in front and let the person observe your exhaust pipe as you’re both cruising on the road Is this a 4 or 6 plug engine? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by equity2genesis(m): 10:52am On Jan 29, 2022 |
Conner44: Thank you boss. It's a 4 plug engine. No leakage, I have checked severally for this. For the smokin, I have checked for this also, I can confirmed it's not leaking. As adviced, I will change the PCV valve and see what happens. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Conner44: 11:31am On Jan 29, 2022 |
equity2genesis: I once had a problem like yours on the same type of vehicle and engine. I later found out it was a leakage from my engine oil sump. One of the bolts broke in half and i would have had to bring down the engine from the car to remove the broken bolt so I drove it like that for two years. That time i would be topping up a liter of oil every two weeks lol i used to use the 5w20 oil that time and even after switching to 5w30 and 5w40 the leakage persisted I didn’t want to bring out my engine and pay the exorbitant workmanship just because of one broken bolt So what did I do? I bought 5w30 synthetic oil from petrocam(5 liters) and a can of liquimoly mos2 engine friction modifier from oyingbo and mixed them together and poured into my engine. I used it for just under 1,000kms and it plugged the leakage completely I ran the oil for 3,500kms without topping it up with a single drop of oil because the level on the dipstick didn’t reduce one bit Today I’m using Mobil 0w20 oils for more than 5,000kms without any shortage. I even used the remainder of the petrocam oil in my generator So change your pcv valve first and if your shortage continues you could try my method if you find out that you indeed have a leakage 6 Likes |
