Lean mixture is as a result of failing AF sensor or MAF or bad fuel pump and not low fuel level.

So what happens when you have lean mixture caused by all or some of the above (bad fuel pump in particular) and you're running low on petrol?
Won't the car overheat?
A low petrol level even with all those things you listed working fine will also cause a car to run lean momentarily until the pump stops picking up fuel. If that is enough to cause the car to overheat is another angle that is debatable.

Yeah, but why does the car throw a " system too lean" code when you run out of fuel?

Low on fuel, not run out of fuel. Two different things sir

Low on fuel doesn't necessarily mean the car can't pick up fuel. If the fuel pump is submerged and can still pick up some fuel yet, it's showing low fuel warning mark, it's still low.

It may interest you to know that for different cars and makes and models, low fuel can be different fuel amount left in reserve.

Okay

Of course I understand your point, that's why I painted a scenario of a failing pump and low fuel level. Besides the warning light would not show how much liter of fuel you have left in the tank to know if the pump is still submerged or not.
1. A failing pump (probably due to constant running on low fuel) will heat up faster and drop pressure if you run it on low fuel. That will cause the car to run lean, struggle, and heat up faster (may or may not necessarily cause overheating depending on the state of the cooling system and several other factors).
2. Also when you run your tank low, you'll agree with me that there are high chances of your car sucking dirt that will clog and restrict flow of petrol. That's another lean mixture scenery there.

Your car needs to be physically inspected to be sure of what is wrong. If you're in abuja hit me up

What was wrong with the old bumper?

Check your outer cv joint aka shaft head.

Have not taken time to appreciate you for this. My sincere Apologies.

Thank you very very much for responding. A home service mechanic has been called to come fix the issue. As for now the car is being driven only within the Neighbourhood and cannot be driven far to the mechanic shop. This is pending when the Provincial Drivers License is perfected and acquired.

My Suzuki. Mini bus stopped accelerating, engine sound is very low, when I put it on, it has low sound and doesn't move. I called gearbox mechanics, he said the gear box is fine and may be electrical fault.

What do you think pls

Nurey, Kingreign, I would be grateful if you can point me to a very good mechanic with automobile workshop for serious checks and repairs on a 2007/2008 Lexus GS350 AWD with vibration issue when car accelerates upon switching from gear 1 to gear 2.

Also, there is check engine lights and noisy legs issues to sort.

Kindly assist. Thanks

Please I need guidance on my 2008 Lexus ES350.

It started two nights ago when the alarm went off, the usual alarm where the horn beeps at intervals.

I thought there was an attempt to break into the car, but I peeped from the window and there was no one.

I unlocked and locked it back and the alarm stopped. Few minutes kater I went down and noticed that the radiator fan was rolling on its own. I had to remove the battery terminals to stop it.

The next day, I went out with the car and there was no issues. It started the same alarm wahala last night. I had to remove the battery.

It has started the alarm again today at work, and I noticed that when I don't lock the car, the alarm doesn't go off. It goes off about 30 minutes after locking the car.

I got a rewire, and I asked him for his plan, he said he wanted to disconnect the alarm.
My fear is that the alarm could be a warning to something else that is going wrong with the car. I'm actually bothered about the radiator fan that was rolling on its own.

I don't want any rewire to mess up my car, so I need advice from experts here.

Thank you

It's very difficult to profer solutions online for this type of challenge. You'd need a competent technician to fix it. Where is the car located in Nigeria and what work was carried out on the car recently?

The car is in Lagos. Either at V.I or Ogba, any of the two locations work.

No work has been done on it except for oil and oil filter change that was done about four weeks ago

Contact Gazzuzz or Lejeun2 they're in Ogba and Lekki respectively and are recommended.
