Hello house pls help me , I tried to help some one on the road to jump start her car with my battery but unknowingly remove the battery without removing the car key from the ignition...my car didn't start up though cranking after fixing back the battery...but won't start what could be the problem, the car doesn't have security...corolla 2005

There are a few possible reasons for this (From my experience with my SUV) First and most common is that the starter or ignition relay has been damaged. If the battery cables were connected, disconnected, then reconnected, this can sometimes create an electrical surge and damage a relay. It’s also possible that a security code was triggered which disables this system. The only way to determine exactly what is causing your hard starting problem is to download the stored error codes inside the ECU... (You need a programmer)

Go Scan your car first for any detected error

pls experts, what's the cause of this in a tier?
what will the mechanic work on, to correct it from chopping another new tier when changed.

Note: the other side of the car tier is still very okey, no single chopping. Only this driver side is chopped.


Go for alignment

Good day folks,

I bought a 2012 camry SE toks, it runs perfectly, after few weeks (did a about 650km trip) i noticed its doing half starting (might have to start twice before it starts or it will start on first kick but delay) but this doesnt happen on first start of the day (when i start it for the first time in the day it starts quickly)

I serviced it with mobile 1 oil, also i did install a tracker on it, the type that cuts fuel pump

When the ABS light comes up, the problem stops, a machanic is suggesting the problem is with the ABS and not break pad

several factors can cause this; faulty cooling fan, bad radiator cap, blocked radiator cells or bad water pump. There's an easy fix for this problem.
If you're in Lagos, I can take a look at it for you.

When I start my 2005 Toyota Camry car, I notice a surge of white smoke leave the exhaust. It clears up almost immediately and will never happen again until I off and start the engine after a while.

Please what could be the cause? I just recently purchased it. Tokunbo.

I need answers. Please help.

Do you think the new generation of the Toyota Land Cruiser (LC300) will keep up with the impression left by its predecessor?

Most car manufactures are downsizing on cylinder and displacements these days and going the way of force induction for several reasons which I believe is killing the auto industry and taking the fun out of it. On short term usage (from 20 to 50k miles) it should work fine without issues. The true test on that engine would be from 100k miles and above when the effect of hauling that heavy body with those smaller forced induced engine for long distances starts showing up.
Toyota reliability has been rubbish and over exaggerated lately in my opinion.
