Hello,
Please my Rav4 engine goes off when I'm not accelerating or in park. I would have to turn it off completely and start it again to get it moving. The mechanic said it was fuel pump and changed the pump and filter and the problem stopped for like a week but it has now started again.
He scanned it and nothing was detected.
What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
Did he buy just the pump or the complete assembly?

Am also facing same issue with my Rav4. Engine goes off abruptly especially when I turned on AC staying on break / idle mode. My mechanic suggested to change fuel pump. But later told me that might not be the reason despite paying him for the fuel pump. Kindly help out.
Yours could be a faulty idle system.
Scan your car.

Shut down that engine immediately. Your car has an oil pressure warning lamp which can result in catastrophic engine damage should you continue driving it with that light on (assuming your oil pressure sensor is okay and the wire is connected to the sensor).
Check your oil level. It's probably low.

It can be a low RPM on idling or it can be a starting sensore failure. But best bet neet tocbe diagnose physically to actually know what wrong.

Good afternoon


Please I need your advice and expertise on a particular issue with my toyota venza 2010 4 plug engine.

I noticed lately that whenever I accelerate, and the car is about to change gear, it usually decelerate itself while my leg is still on the turtle and will move again by itself (like the fuel in the car is about to finish)

We scanned it already and there is no error and i serviced the gear in a october last year to be precise. It just started this issue and my mechanic already changed the coil and clean the fuel pump but the issue still persist.


Now another mechanic I was referred to said he will have to tap the gear or service it again. Don't really know what to do and confused.

Will need the gurus to help on this and how to fix it

Can't advise on this unless a physical inspection by a competent technician who knows what he's doing checks it.

Subject: Issues with My Car - Need Diagnosis and Repair

Car Type: 2007 Toyota Camry, 4 Plug Engine

I am reaching out regarding some concerning issues I've been experiencing with my car recently. I believe there may be multiple underlying problems contributing to its current state, and I would greatly appreciate your expertise in diagnosing and addressing these issues.

Here are the symptoms I've observed:

Reduced Coolant: The coolant seems to be drying off as I constantly need to refill and there is no visible leak

White Smoke: White smoke comes out of the exhaust

After driving for some time, the coolant in the reservoir tank starts to 'boil' and pour out, I am aware that is due to air entering the coolant

I bringing this here because the first mechanic I called adviced to change the Engine Gasket which required me to re-surface the engine, the Gasket was changed but the issue still persists

The second mechanic I got was quoting 300,000 for me (almost the cost of a new engine)

Given these symptoms, I understand that pinpointing the exact cause of the issues may require a comprehensive inspection and diagnostic process. However, can someone here point me in the right direction on where I need to focus on?

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You've blown a head gasket, just hope you haven't cracked the block to cause the whitish smoke. That engine must be torn down, and carefully inspected to check if the block is cracked or not, and then the engine top also checked if it's flat.

Faulty Idle Air Control Valve (IACV): This valve regulates the engine's idle speed. If it's dirty or malfunctioning, it can cause stalling, especially when coming to a stop.
Vacuum Leak: Leaks in the intake system can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, leading to stalling.
Sensor Issues: While the mechanic didn't find any codes, some sensor malfunctions might not trigger a check engine light. A faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) could be sending incorrect signals to the engine computer causing stalling.
Electrical Issues: Less common, but electrical problems like a failing crankshaft position sensor or wiring issues could also be culprits. if after all these is checked and it's still faulty seek a specialist.

Your mechanic was right to have changed the pump and filter.. but since it still giving same issue take it him and ask him to look out for these things..

Faulty sensor: A malfunctioning sensor like the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or crankshaft position sensor can send incorrect signals to the engine computer, causing stalling. While a scan might not have picked it up initially, a more thorough inspection by the mechanic might be necessary.
Idle air control valve (IAC): This valve regulates air entering the engine at idle. If it's dirty or faulty, it might not be able to maintain the proper air-fuel mixture for smooth idling, leading to stalling.
Vacuum leaks: Leaks in the intake system can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, causing stalling.
Electrical issues: Wiring problems or a failing crankshaft position sensor could be sending erratic signals and causing the engine to stall.

If all these is checked on and the problems are not solved you need an automobile specialist.. to get connected to one close to you go to request mechanic.com,click on request now circled in red and I assure you it would be fixed🙏

Good morning guys! Please I need your expert opinions as I'm confused. I am in Lagos and I have a windshield crack from the upper part on driver side. I have gotten an expert to stop the crack from progressing. My worry is Should I just go ahead and change the glass or I'm safe. Its a slight crack though and I'm livid with the reality that such would require that i shell out a lot of cash for a complete replacement.
Thanks as I look forward to your response.
