Loss Of Power by thestriker(op): 12:59am On Jan 12, 2023
Please friends, I need your help. I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris, automatic. It had two major issues. First it was smoking and shorting oil. Secondly, I noticed the car had weak compression especially when going up a hill.Ringings done and fine. No more smoke but still no compression. Another mechanic said it was an electrical issue. I realized that cylinder three and four had no current. So they had to tap from one and two to feed the other two. Now am told to get a new brain box. That probably the line from the ECU is bad and that there too much load on the first and second. Please guys I need your advice. I don't want to go for an ECU only to realize that was not the issue. Thanks.

What was wrong with his engine? SMOKING and BURNING oil

has it been fixed? YES

what problem is now left with the vehicle? CURRENT NOT REACHING the 3rd & 4th cylinders

Is this a mechanical or electrical issue? ELECTRICAL

If he changes the engine will the issue be resolved? NO, because the engine is a MECHANICAL component of the vehicle

What then are his options? either change his AUTO ELECTRICIAN, HARNESS or finally replace his BRAINBOX
