GAZZUZZ:


Summary.

* Misfires on cylinder 5.

* There is not thermostat and fans possibly connected directly .

* There is no catalyst on both banks.

These codes will show after 10miles of consistent driving .

Thanks for the response, if I replace the spark plug would that fix the misfire problem.

If the fan is connected directly is there a consequence to this approach?

So in essence the catalyst was removed ?

Oga Gazzuzz one last question, which is the recommended transmission oil for 2013 Camry?
Full Synthetic ATF Type - IV or Toyota ATF-WS?

Gaz, my oil pan light comes on intermittently when I step on the brakes while on high speed (80-100mph).

I worry something could be wrong. I am about doing an oil change though though the previous oil gauged appropriately when checked. What do I do? Car is a Toyota Camry 2003

I was thinking about checking the solenoids out before the oil change, I shouldn't?

Sure, check the solenoids too.
So you can tackle all discovered issues at a go.

You have all these codes and CEL is still off? How? Or are they pending?

Well, I suspect you have an intermittent short circuit fault somewhere.
Or maybe not.
Difficult to diagnose remotely.

First check for...
- low transmission fluid
- dirty transmission fluid
- leaking transmission fluid
- or maybe you are not using the right Honda transmission fluid. DW-1.
Resolve any accordingly.
If all are OK or if symptoms persist, then DM... Contact in signature.


Change made on Saturday with ATF DW1. The solenoids were checked, clean and working well.

Drove for a while, shifted well with no code. As I was few metres away from home, I scanned again and the codes came up. I couldn't ascertain if the jerking while downshifting from gear 3 was occuring because I could only do gear 1 and 2 on the untarred road but it seems it hasn't resolved.

Can I DM you?

I have this code P0016 after scanning my 2011 Camry. The top gasket was changed in January and since then the check engine refused to clear. The car sounds well, it's just that it jerks a bit while on neutral position or packed. Mechanics hv checked and they advised me to keep driving it like that. Timing and sensors were confirmed okay.

Please can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Awka and a possible solution.?

Hi Gazzuz,

I got an Rx350 (2011) in October last year. I don't usually drive it every day. The total mileage ever driven is 3000 miles.

I read somewhere that service/maintenance should be done after 5000 miles.

Do you think I need to do the maintenance? It is close to six months already and everything seems perfect to me.

Ps: you are doing a very good job here keep it up

Things to know before your purchase that your dream car. You can learn a thing or two before buying that car

=======================================
Rule No. 1
Never be in a rush when you have the money to purchase a car.

Rule No. 2
Do a thorough inspection of the car you want to buy.

Rule No. 3
Always request for every necessary documents if available for example, Vehicle Vin Number, Vehicle Registration Document (if registered), Car Manual and Customs Documents.

Rule No. 4
Endeavor to carry out a Test Drive before making a your decision. If possible, you can go with a trusted mechanic, most mechanic are greedy as they will collect a bribe behind your back from the car dealer then make a baised decision.

Rule No. 5
This is the most important part, Verify your Customs Duty Papers as soon as possible before paying for the vehicle. Don't allow the dealer to put pressure on you, it's better another person pays for the car than for you to pay without proper verification of the Customs Document.

=======================================

Note:

All vehicle have Customs Paper but not all Customs Papers are genuine. Most dealers claim to import from overseas while actually car has been smuggled through Cotonou.

Once again don't allow any dealer hasten you up for payment.

=======================================

You can have your Customs Paper verified by in 1 hour and have the soft copy sent to you via WhatsApp or email in pdf format.

We are just a call away.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Flintstone06(m): 10:09am On Apr 19, 2022
Good Morning Gazzuzz,

On the 8th of this month, my Rav 4 (04) began posing throttle challenges to me. At times, the throttle fails to accelerate when driving or idling in traffic. I scanned it and received the following problem code. I was told that I needed to replace the TPS (throttle positioning system), so I purchased a toks from Ladipo, but the throttle continued to fail. I was told to replace the fuel pump in the tank, which I did because it began to guzzle fuel, but the problem persists. I'm not sure what to do now; they've informed me it's something to do with a fuse or a brain box. Please help me with this.

What i observed in my v6 2006 honda accord aka DC

1. It does a hard shift when the transmission is changing from gear 1 to 2 (like a foward jerk)

2. If the car is stationary at park and I put it in drive, I need to pedal down abit for it to start moving

3. My transmission oil leaks below, this has been going on for months

4. Yesterday I noticed that when the engine is decelerating and I step on the pedal to speed up, my rpm would go high without the car responding so, I have to slow down completely and start accelerating again

5. I have no check engine light on, neither is my D light blinking

What could be the issue?

fix the obvious issue of ATF leaking and top up with original DW. Then scan for codes. All the best.

Hello bosses
my Camry 2007 works fine but I noticed that when I ln motion and I slow down, if I want to accelerate back, it doesn't pick at once. I have to press like twice or thrice before it picks up.
I guessed it was d trans(just a guess) nd I checked the trans oil.
It was brown(not black) but at the normal mark.
Now, I've decided to change it.
So,
1. pls can it truly be the transmission oil.
2. How do I recognise fake and original Toyota WS fluid?

I'd really appreciate your kind and genuine response

are you buying original? That’s the thing. Original should last you more than a year.
