Ask your mechanic to check the oil and throttle position sensor (tps). If it’s fine replace gear.

Perform one quick check.
Find a convenient place to park
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn ON the A/C
3. Pop the bonnet
4. Check if the two radiator fans are working and spinning fast.

If you find that one is not rolling, it could be any of these 4 things

A. The relay
B. The fuse
C. The fan motor(usually the carbon brushes)
4. The bearing of the motor may have melted to the shaft of the amarture and cause the rotor to seize.

In most cases, the problem is usually C but ensure you give feedback to the thread so your experience can be useful to someone else.

Thanks,

Good morning great men

*Camry 07*
After topping engine oil, mechanic mistakenly over guage.
Check engine light disappeared.
After a week check engine light comes on. Engine oil still above guage.
Should I drain a little oil out?
Could something else be responsible for the check engine light coming on.
Thank you all in anticipation.

Good evening esteemed car gurus.
My car a Toyota Corolla 2010 automatic transmission model is having serious gear issues.

It started when I took it to mechanic to change gear box cop and shaft because of the noise it makes and constant vibrations. After changing all these the car started having sluggish movement, skips and de-accelerates on motion. At times when I pedal on motion it will be as if no gear was engaged until it picks. I was advised to change the gear oil, clean filter and plugs which I have done but the issue still continued. Pls car experts what could be the cause of this problem and where can I fix it in Abuja.

Thank you.

What happen that the car doesn’t want to start?
What was the last repair or maintenance work was carried out?

Is the car immobilizer light flashing?

Okay. Thank you very much. I'll carry out scan ASAP and share code(s).

I love and enjoy this car and wish to own it for at least another year.

God bless @kingreign and everyone else helping us to escape the menace of illiterate mechanics

Got the engine oil reduced to normal level, scanned the car today. A code C1330 came. The guy cleared and scanned again then no code came up again and check engine light went off.
Should I be worried about the code? And what is the code indicating?

My Highlander 03's ignition coil keeps failing, I have changed two of it since I bought the vehicle in April but this week the car keeps stalling on the road while driving, it jerks a little while running idle.
What can I do to resolve this permanently. Everything else works fine except this constantly failing ignition coil and plugs.

Someone with a solution should help.

Your Car should be checked by an electrician. Hope your car’s Sparkplugs are not worn out, the wiring harness wasn’t cut and joined in a manner than can cause electrician glitches and hope the car isn’t experiencing overheating issues?

What’s the mileage on the car and were those the original coils that came from factory with the car, are the coils genuine toyota coils and was there any water intrusion into the coil compartment?
