I have this similar issue

Please what’s the issue at oga Gazuzzzz

Kaymax2222:
Good day lovely people of this beautiful forum.
Pls I need una assistance with my car. It all started that whenever I start driving the car for the first 20-30mins if I don't rev the car high to like above 3000 the car will be jerking gently kind of, and if I check the rev meter too it will see the needle going up and down small small, but after driving for a while it will stop and the car will move very well. Since this is not a major issue I kept using it that way till I will have time to visit the mech not until few days ago that while I was going back him in the night the car stops accelerating, like I press the throttle but it will not respond all I am hearing is a clicking sound under the carpet of the seat beside the driver in front. Once i press acceleration and the car want to respond I will just hear the click sound and the car will not respond to me again, then I off the engine and light then start it again this time the acceleration just respond a little above the 1000 rev on the meter then the car start to move small small till I got home that night. The following morning the car drives like nothing happened to it the previous night but I took it to my mech who said I should go and scan it, which I did and the person said something that one wire has cut somewhere or something and he fix it the check engine light on the dashboard went off and the car temp meter that doesn't work before start to work. Also the fan start to work in auto mode because before when I on the engine the fan will start immediately, but now the fan might not start for the first 30-1hr of driving and when it start it will be working in low speed (don't know if it is normal )though no overheating .
Now the problem is I am not sure what he fix is what is affecting the gear problem and the issues I face the other night while going home. And I don't want it to happen like that again before I fix the issue permanently which is why I want to seek the opinion of car gurus on this platform. Thanks in anticipation for your input.
Also I use to hear like a thud sound whenever I engage D or R
The car is nissan sunny 2011

Hello guys

Please I drive a Camry 2008 with 2az engine
Due to the rising fuel price I went and bought a catalytic converter(indomie) and put in the car

I have notice no reasonable fuel efficiency but the car jerks while accelerating and stutter

Can the indomie cause this please?
how do you know there was “indomie” in the catalytic converter you bought. Did you scan the car? If yes, what codes popped out

Hello,

I drive a Toyota camry 03 V6. Recently while driving, i lost power steering and some seconds later, the var stalled. I tried cranking but wouldn't start. I looked for a roadside mechanic and we noticed one of the drive belts had cut and was tangled. He removed the tangled bits and after that the car could start but had no power steering so i drove to his shop which was like a minute away to have it replaced.

Here comes the issues, after he replaced it. We had issue starting. Car wouldn't crank, after a while he semi solved that and it would crank but now i had serious power loss, full flat pedal down and the car is barely moving. Engine sounds louder than before while doing so but barely moves. I've replaced coils + plugs but only improved situation very slightly.

Oga Gazzuzz, please i need your help here on my 2005 Toyota Camry (Big daddy). I noticed my car drags when i engage the transmission but later picks when the vehicle gains momentum. The draggy movement repeat itself anytime i want to start moving. I diagnosed and the error code i got was P2770(Torque converter clutch solenoid circuit high). After this, i took the vehicle to my mechanic who advised we should change the transmission fluid and filter which we did. It worked well for a day and the stalling started again. Kindly advise Sir.
Oga Gazzuzz, help a brother o. You haven’t responded to this. Thanks ��

Are you sure you have the right gearbox in the car.

This refers to a missing part.

Oga Gazzuzz, thanks for the prompt response. I was told the gearbox was changed from 13pin to 10pin. What’s your candid advise, please.

There are 2 solutions to your problem.

The straight and narrow path.

Go and buy gearbox 13pin install and use.


The crooked way.

Buy 10pin install and use.



Choose you this day.

Buyer beware.

The fuel tank is unable to hold vacuum.

Once you solve the leak, the problem will go away

Oga Gazuzz, Kingreign well-done Boss. My Reverves Light on dashboard is constantly on even when you put it in Drive, Park when this comes up there's this Motor Car image that also display with it.
The gear engages fine including the Reverse gear.

What could be wrong?

Thank you.

Hey guys. Is it normal for a car to feel lower and scrape the ground after a full tank is bought? Car is a Toyota Camry 03. The ground clearance is ridiculously low. I use 225/60/16 tyres already

A full tank is 70litres. That's an adults weight . Your coil springs are designed for comfort you can switch to stiffer springs with larger diameter and 215/65/16 tyres.
