Good evening to the group, please i am currently depressed and I need help .
My Vw t4 transporter suddenly came up with epc light on the dashboard and when ever this happens it will cut the brake light switch and when that happens I would be able to take the gear from pack it would be stocked, I called a Rewire who tried fixing the problem and did some wiring connections but the difference was that the brake light fuse would cut but will not hinder me from change or removing my gear from pack , few weeks later my bus showed epc light again and now I won’t be able to accelerate the bus or REV it ….I have change the throttle body because it’s a throttle less bus , I change the maf sensor , I changed the accelerator pedal position sensor no changes, in the morning its won’t accelerate then when I come back to the bus in the afternoon it would accelerate again, and whenever am on the road it’s shows the epc light again and it’s would stop to accelerate again …please I need you guys help

My Lexus RX 350 2011 model won't starts most times battery is removed.
Recently I replaced the o2 sensor bank 2 to fix the check engine light and when the mechanic fixed back the battery,the car will start but turn off when switch gear to Reverse or Drive. Rewire checked and said the injector mouth and cold switch needs to be replaced.
Note; There is no check engine light on.
Any advise please

Hire an electrician to check it for you.
@ 9icetoo kingreign

The rewire checked it and noted something is causing a fuse in the fuse box to cut. In solving it, he told me the only thing is that my car can start even when it's on drive if I try to do so unlike the default setting dat is strictly on P or N.

Hope the solution isn't a dangerous one sha??

He ran a cable and did a relay to the wire connected to the kick

Check for vacuum leaks 1st before changing anything.
Also run a live data scan and compare the stats with manufactures specifications

Hello guys,

I need help with my Nissan xtrail 2005 model. When ever I try to start the engine it starts and immediately the engine goes off; I have to start it again and press the accelerator to rev it before it can work, immediately that is done the SLIP VDC OFF light comes on. It makes it very difficult for me to use as it occurs often whenever I switch off the engine. I have changed the plugs, the cold start, and other things but the issue still persists.

What oil do you use?
Does your car smoke?
Are there any leaks from anywhere?

Thank you.

Carry out a smoke test on the EVAP system, and as for the purge control, it’s in the engine bay, test it by running a 12V if it leaks, then check, if your evap vacuum lines have been incorrectly installed and correctly do it.

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by tunnamaniah(m): 6:10pm On Dec 21, 2022
I have a 2008 Honda Accord, 4cl. I recently changed the radiator after the previous radiator was leaking seriously.


I noticed rising engine temperature when in traffic with ac on. I have taken it to the mechanic for inspection, the radiator and condenser fins have been flushed and the fans have been inspected, the water too. The car does not overheat at all when I'm moving fast.

Once I get into traffic for 15-30 minutes. The temperature gauge passes the half mark.

One of the mechanic believe it's a blown head gasket problem while the other mechanic is suggesting I change the radiator.

The current radiator in the car is a double cell eod radiatorand I have no thermostat. All the mechs are saying the radiator should work just fine.

I'm about to pour some money on purchasing a new radiator tomorrow. But I am not Soo sure that's the solution to the problem. I would appreciate response from the car gurus or anyone with similar experience

Search YouTube, watch videos and explain what you want to do to him. If he's patient, he'll learn something new thanks to you.

The last I used was total Quarts, leakage I see is from power steering side.

Check your VTC and rocker arm solenoid area. It’s behind the engine by the passenger’s side. If the seals around those places are compromised, you’d get oil leaks.

please i need help.
The engine of a 2005 Toyota Corolla LE does switch off especially when there is a need to decelerate like approaching a house gate or waiting temporarily at road junction for traffic to clear before continuing with the journey. There is no problem while on average to high speed. Fuel pump was changed in April,2022. Error codes: P0171- System is too lean(bank 1) and P0304- Cylinder 4 misfiring detected.

What could be the problem and possible solution?
One auto-mechanic workshop proposed a new set of fuel pump with the casing/housing, not just the small tube fuel pump. Will this solve the problem? thanks

Check air Intake system from the air cleaner box, air intake hose, and vacuum pipes if there’s any break or air leaks, then check the Throttle Body. I believe that P0171 may be the cause of the stalling.
