The car is toyota camry 06. When i was asking him how much is engine, he said 450-480k but today when the car did not start, he is telling me abi i will buy tokunbo engine, he said i will see the one of 350-400k and i told him but you said it is 480k for engine. I told him that why do you tell me you can ring it well if you know i can see tokunbo engine for 350-400k and after giving you like 90k out of 135k you demanded. So inside which acct shld i put that 90k. I left his place with annoyance. I told him I don’t need to buy engine, let him fix this one first because i want to sell it immediately. He told me he has called someone to come and scan it for him and if i get there tomorrow and nothing is done, i will start changing my voice for him so that he can know that i am getting serious with him. I dropped the car for him since 18 Dec 2023. Up till now, car no start. It is starting but immediately it starts, it shut off.

open the timing cover and flip the side of this plate . Possibly installed in wrong side

Well.u know it was just ringed. If it starting and shutting off immediately or its not doing slow. Then your fuel pump needs replacement.when its killing plugs. Its the valve stem seals. Everything is not piston rings unless the smoking is heavy...pls before u leave there. Tell the idiot to remove the cylinder head and change the valve stem seals.he shold alsogrind the valves to be smooth. If not the ringing go be waste...

You should stop giving car advice

I understand that your car is experiencing stalling and difficulty starting in hot weather, but not in cooler conditions. This behaviour suggests an issue related to heat affecting one or more components of your vehicle. Here are some possibilities:

Fuel System:

Vapor lock: Hot weather can cause fuel to vaporize prematurely in the fuel lines, leading to air bubbles that obstruct fuel flow and starve the engine. This can cause stalling and difficulty starting.
Fuel pump: Increased heat can put extra strain on the fuel pump, potentially causing its performance to drop and leading to insufficient fuel delivery, especially when the engine demands more fuel under load (e.g., uphill driving).
Ignition System:

Spark plugs: Worn or fouled spark plugs can struggle to produce a strong spark in hot conditions, leading to misfires and stalling.
Ignition coils: Similar to spark plugs, heat can exacerbate issues with worn or faulty ignition coils, hindering their ability to deliver proper voltage for spark generation.
Other possible causes:

Sensor issues: Heat can affect the readings of various sensors, such as the crankshaft position sensor or the intake air temperature sensor, sending incorrect information to the engine computer and causing abnormal engine operation.
Vacuum leaks: A small vacuum leak that might not be noticeable in cooler weather could become more pronounced in hot weather, potentially causing lean running and stalling.

Preventative measures: In the meantime, you can take some preventative measures to reduce the risk of stalling in hot weather, such as:
Parking in shade whenever possible.
Letting the engine cool down before restarting after a hot drive.
Keeping the engine coolant and oil levels topped up.
Avoiding unnecessary strain on the engine, such as driving uphill at high speeds.

It’s not starting. It was ring and since then it has not start. The mechanic said he has called two to three mechanic so I doubt it is that plate problem

Thank you for your help. Those plugs are sparking. All of them. I called him this night and explained to him about the fuel pump but he said we should wait for the scanner guy tomorrow that he will call me tomorrow.

I am also even thinking if we buy tokunbo engine, it might not even start self because this one he ringed start but shut off/ does not respond to rev. I am not buying engine. I will sell the car but i will tell the new buyer to get new engine.

Tomorrow, i will update you.

I’m not looking to sell it because you won’t be able to afford it due to the state.

The last I checked. Everyone gives free remote diagnosis on this thread and other car related issues thread for the general public to learn from too as well.
If you want his service or that of anyone here, you can simply call their number and reach an agreement with them.

So telling him to come and start it if he can is a joke?? I throw the Challenge to anyone interested. And 40k just to come and start a car is okay. No be say he is buying anything just experience or he can just stand and control people on what to do.

Chief,
I got a new '05 sienna without history of car servicing- engine and gear oil change.

Please I want to start a recorded service on the car, what do you advice? Should I drain the oils and refill? If yes, what oil do you suggest? Thanks

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ReformerD: 9:41pm On Jan 12
Please, what could probably cause occasional hard starts on a Hyundai Sonata? If I start the car in the morning, it runs fine. However, when I park and try to restart it after a while, it has a hard start. If I switch off the car and restart it, the car runs fine again, and there's no engine light code on the car. The mechanic advised me to keep using it until the problem shows itself. Also, the car runs fine.
