GAZZUZZ: This is a new code that just showed up ever since I have been using the car. I don't think it is blocked. |

Good evening House!... I have ISSUE!!! The car is a 2001 Honda Odyssey. While driving yesterday, the car engine suddenly went off...but all the lights on the dashboard and the radio/headlamps were still working. I had to clear from the road, and tried starting it again. When I turned the key, there was no response. The engine doesn't start or revolve...but the lights on the dashboard were showing. I had to leave it. This morning, I called an auto-electrician to check it. In the process, he turned on the ignition with the key from inside, then he came out, opened the bonnet and attached a wire to the kick starter and touched it on the battery terminal and the Engine started without hesitation. He then put the engine off, loosed the cover under the steering and did some wire cut-and-join connections and the car was able to start NORMALLY from the inside. I paid and he left. I drove the car to work and came back this evening without any issue. This night I wanted to go out, and when I turned the ignition, the car failed to start(no engine crank) but I noticed a noise, I opened the bonnet and something attached to the kick-starter was making a continuous sound (like a fan on high speed). I turned of the ignition immediately and removed the key, but the thing was still revolving. I then had to disconnect the battery terminals and it stopped. I just called the electrician and complained. He said he will come tommorrow and check. I have a feeling that something isn't right with the work he did. Maybe he did some bypass and now it's backfiring. What could be the possible initial issue with my car before the electrician did this job? Please I need Expert Advice now so that I can be equipped to face him tommorrow |

Good evening House. Its Kia Sorento 2011 4wd. Check engine on and it appears to consume fuel beyond 18 mpg for city drive and a slightly but barely perceptible vibration on the engine. Scans are not picking up the issue. It seems the issue is high fuel consumption. Runing 45miles already on a 27 litre of fuel which on a good day should be at least 121miles. Any help?, wouldn't mind a very good Kia expert in Ibadan Oyo state. |

I took my 2008 honda accord for a trip.. I noticed the engine will lose power and stall when climbing hills.. I managed it like that but along the trip it become worse, struggling to accelerate and going off a couple of times. Most times i just cleared off the road and allowed it for some 1-2mins and it wil start and drive off again for some 5mins before losing power, crawling and maybe going off. The last time it went off before i got to my destination, the steering got stiff, the low oil pressure and battery light came on before it went off. NB my oil levels are okay. I have no check engine light on. I called my mechanic he said it should be a bad fuel pump. Are you suspecting the same? GAZZUZZ |

Hello gazzuzz I bought this Es350 2009 model July this year and after few weeks the ac automatically stop cooling by it self and it gets back up by itself after some time or I’ll turn the ac off and on it back for it to work, after some time I noticed some ac vents weren’t cooling and after some time everything crashed , I went to my ac guy and he advised me to Change the compressor and condenser and I said okay maybe some other time, I asked him if there’s anything he can do to make it work and he filled the ac with gas then put oil too and it was working perfectly again, I started driving home and like 10minutes into my journey driving home the ac stopped working again, please have anyone experienced this and have an advise for me , I honestly don’t know what to do. Thank you |

osaslord500: Straight and narrow way. Buy a brand new OEM compressor. Cheaper straight way, buy a brand new aftermarket compressor . Other options buy a foreign used automatic compressor and hope it still has some life in it, there are no guarantees but hopes and prayers. Reality. You bought a foreign used car, it came with a foreign used compressor, it is old and now it is dead. If you were to buy another foreign used compressor ₦50-70k chances are that you might be lucky and if installed properly you could get 100k miles off it, also possible you could just get 5k miles before it packs up again. The Nigerian in me would rather gamble with 3 foreign used compressors than buy an OEM compressor for over 500k . Good luck. 6 Likes |

uctomide: Good afternoon bosses in the house, Please my car stalled twice today while driving, I noticed the volt dropped to 10.4 from 13.5-14.2. on the first occasion It stopped, I allowed it to cool off then it started while the volts was 12.5. On the second occasion the volts didn't pick up to 12. Hence the car is still parked along the road. Do note the rpm goes a little below 1 while driving, especially when I drive through pot holes. I scanned and this code P0012 showed up. @Gazzuzz please do assist.

Good evening House. I have a complain about my Corolla 05, It Vibrates massively. 1. I have Changed all the engine mounts. 2. Changed plugs. 3. Changed Axles and almost everything in the legs, down to servicing the shocks. 4. Change oil regularly and service the car from time to time. Still it vibrates when it gets to 30k, and often times vibrates when on idle. Please what could be the cause? I have spent a lot on mechanics. |

uctomide: @Gazzuzz thanks for the feedback I was able to get a rewire, after checking the components he arrived that a grounding is not firm, hence the car's hesitation to start engine. He was able to trace the grounding and the car started.... On my way home though the road is very rough it went off twice but it started immediately when I turned on ignition back. I am looking at getting a battery mount. Suggestions is welcomed |

Sankabson:like how many liters do you suspect is lost within 1200 miles, it is not uncommon for a car to short some oil as they age, yourz might be within manufacturer specifications for your car |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by uctomide(m): 6:45pm On Oct 30, 2022 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks Boss @Gazzuzz, It was a really nice read. Keep on the good work, sceneries in your write up are quite similar with my current ordeal. I would check the IG fuse tomorrow and feedback. Thanks for all you do |
