Replace IAT sensor and Air intake cleaner.

NB: pls ensure your ECM and IAT wiring harness isn’t compromised and when replacing the sensor, ensure a good tokunbo part or brand new part is used.

Greetings,

My Toyota Camry 07 gear casing gets slightly hot after 1hr continuous driving.

What could be responsible for this?

Also what ATF should I use to change the oil?

Thank you

How do you mean your gear casing gets slightly hot after 1hr of continuous driving?
How did you find out this?
Isn’t your car drive train meant to get considerably hot due to friction and heat?
Does it in anyway affect the car drivability?

With Ac and brake pressed while on DRIVE, rpm drops to 500 and car shudders.

Aside this, car drives well.

Honda Accord 2007.



Any advice?

Check vacuum hoses, check brake booster, check throttle body.

I have cleaned throttle body.

I have checked vacuum hoses.

Brake booster? I didn't check that.


I have a mini scanner.

I will contact you for diagnosis, if I can afford it....

The IAT sensor is bad if the shut down the engine after clearing, you can as well check for broken wires around the harness.

Most times, that IAT sensor fails because of clogged intake air cleaner which starves the sensor of adequate cold air supply.

Thanks bro. I was just curious and scared when I noticed this from placing a hand on the transmission casing.

How about the ideal fluid? It's been 3years and never has the ATF been changed.

Thank you in anticipation of your response again.

Have a competent technician drain and refill the transmission with same volume of ATF. Ensure he used genuine Type WS

Good evening, pls
1. my corolla 2006 shows error code p0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold when scanned. How can I fix it.
2. The fog light and parking light always stay on when the engine is running. Is there a way to switch it off at interval.

P0420 needs a tokunbo or genuine brand new catalytic converter or you go the cheaper route of installing a spacer.

For the lights, have your electrician check it,

Good day car gurus. Thanks for all the assistance here.

My Honda Accord 07 doesn't revv beyond 3000rpm. Again if I step on the clutch pedal forcefully for fast acceleration, the car will be jerking and when I release my foot, car drives fine if I press pedal gently.

Cars idles fine. No jerking while idle only jerks when I forcefully step hard on the pedal. What could likely be the challenge?

Hi Bosses,

When I put on my Ac and I'm driving my car feels heavy when I accelerate what could be the cause.

Secondly, when the Ac is on and working cold it just blows hot and later it gets cold again.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by justdollars: 7:16pm On Apr 13, 2023
Thanks sir, pls what's VTC? Is it the camshaft or crankshaft sensor? I recently replaced it. What I can't confirm is if the sensor is very ok even though it's working. I'll scan and drop code 2moro sir.
