I notice that my car is experiencing long cranking whenever I want to start the car to repark in my compound.
It doesn't happen in the morning or even when I close from work. I usually park outside before reparking in my compound. I park outside around 6pm and repark inside my compound around 8pm, In-between these 2 hours I always notice this problem.
My car model is Toyota avensis 2011.
Note: The car doesn't jerk or stall while driving.
What are the possible causes pls?
Scan and post codes here. Was your fuel pump worked upon recently?

Is the Check engine light coming on when you turn on ignition and all lights illuminates on dashboard?
Is the fuel pump okay?
What was done to the car that made this problem start?
Where is the car located?

Good day, I had fault code P0343 (Camshaft position sensor ‘A’ circuit of higher input (Bank 1 or single sensor) for 2008 lexus rx350. I did the scan using xtool scanner cause car wouldn’t start at first ignition.

I discovered that when the Camshaft position sensor on Bank 1 is replaced, the car never starts But if status quo is maintained it will crank a few times then start.

Any clue as to what may be responsible for this. Thanks

After replacing the sensor, did you rescan to know if the code is still there?

Kindly scan the car.
You'll need to check if the fuel pump still works.

Tell your mechanic to take out the shims above and below the brake pads and do another test drive, if noise persist, then you might have to replace your wheel bearings

Hi bosses,

I have a toyota camry 04, when I put on the AC the rpm does not go up instead it comes down and it vibrates it doesn't allow the ac to cool but if I am accelerating the ac becomes cold and the vibration stops

Under normal circumstance there should be power reduction when you turn on the AC, but an intake air valve lets more air into the engine to increase rpm and compensate for power loss or extremely low idle speed when using your ac. Does this also happens when you shift to reverse or drive gears? Has any repair work been carried out on your engine prior to the time you started noticing this or did you replace the ac compressor?

Have your mechanic check the ac solenoid valve loca

Please what can I do about the rotten egg smell in my car when I'm on high speed. The smell stops after some minutes of driving. The car Highlander 09.

That means you have rotten eggs in your ac air vents. Try open up the cabin filter housing or better still get and ac technician to remove the evaporator core housing and do a thorough wash of each individual components(I mean the air tunnels)

Simply run a scan but if scan results doesn't reveal anything significant, then you may have to check your fuel pump or dying spark plugs.

Hello House, I drive a Honda Accord 2007 model with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine...

But recently I have not been enjoying a smooth drive as the gear all of a sudden while in motion stop changing gear until I stop and restart the car

Once I restart the car the whole system reset to normal and it picks and works normal... Everytime the car's gear stop changing I will stop and restart or put it on neutral, off engine and start again

The car can work normally for a month and all of a sudden it will start malfunctioning again for months

My mechanic introduced me to a rewire who changed the turtle mouth, changed the brain box and did other things but still the same issue...

What can you advise... This can be very frustrating

Please help

Can anyone recommend a good gear mechanic to help me drain my rx350 transmission oil and put in another WS for me? Location is Lagos mainland.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Originakalokalo(m): 10:34pm On Apr 04, 2023
Honda Accord vibrations

Let me try to explain this issue.

Car drives well.

However, when I apply the break and the gear on DRIVE, rpm goes to 500 while the bonnet vibrates....that is engine vibrations.

If I turtle just a bit let's say rpm increases to 700 vibrations stop and further drive is excellent.

Car idle smoothly in PARK around 700-800 rpm.

Please note that all engine mount are in top shape.

Car is Honda Accord 2007.

My question.

1. Why this vibrations?

2. Rpm is not low on idle ( car in Park)
If rpm is low, can it be adjusted in Honda Accord 2007?

It is a puzzle that has remained unsolved.

Kindly help me.

Codes

P0141

P02185.

I don't think they have anything to do with the vibrations.

P0141 is for downstream oxygen sensor. It's just for Cat monitoring and emissions.

P02185 is for the second ECT sensor at the radiator.

Check for vacuum leaks around the intake pipes and the vacuum lines just under the intake manifold. You may also need to clean the throttle body. Pls before cleaning throttle body, disconnect battery and after cleaning, ensure you carry out an idle relearn procedure.

It could just be the fuel pump. It could be a couple of other things but the fuel pump looks more suspicious.
