Hi Oga Gazzuzz

I drive a 2013 Hyundai ix35. I noticed it the check engine light and all wheel drive indicator light were ON. Also, noticed I couldn't get the car to accelerate beyond 20km/h...and it idles erratically.

I did a diagnostic check and it returned P2110 and P0652. How do I solved this. I tested a fairly used throttle body but nothing changed.

cause and effect .

You have no reference sensor voltage (5v) causing the throttle actuator to malfunction .

It's a delicate diagnosis
But I'll start by replacing the throttle body and pedal with units I know are working, if it still does not work I will try another engine computer.

Boss, Gazzuzz. I don come this side.

Please my mpg is too poor.

2007 Toyota corolla. And I barely get 200miles with 40 liters. And this is highway drive.

I scanned the car today and got the codes below.

Apart from the misfire code, can the other codes cause such a poor mpg?

Please advise me o before this car send to the village in this fuel subsidy era.

Hi guys please I need help with Honda Accord 08

1) check engine is on, a scanned results shows bad o2 sensor

2) if I start the car and move close to the exhaust at the back of the car. It peppers my eye kind of

The car drives well but consumes fuel.

They said I should change o2 sensor but another person is saying nothing is wrong with o2 sensor that the scanner returned o2 sensor error because the catalyst is either bad or not present that I should go and service injector, I’m a little confused because the car drives well but just consumes fuel a little.

Note: the smoke doesn’t get inside the car. Everything is fine inside the car.

The little research I did says that there is too much fuel getting into the engine and the engine can’t burn all the fuel at a stroke so the fuel get out to the exhaust, not sure if this makes any sense

Please what can I do in this case and please if I’m to replace o2 sensor, how much is it.

Thanks in advance.

All the codes indicated will cause poor fuel economy.

Misfire if consistent means engine is running 75per efficient.

Evap is not so bad, but find the leak.

The transmission code is common on an ageing corolla, confirm rpm when driving on last gear at 60mlh

Replace the catalyst

Maybe because most people just mix small omo and water in their fluid tank

Get a liquid dishwasher or liquid car wash shampoo and add a few squeeze into the windscreen washer reservoir. It works like charm.

Some contain oils and other ingredients which may not be suitable for painted surface or glass. Pls a kitchen wash fluid is more appropriate.
