hi, btw aluminium fabrication and mechanic, which is favourable to learn?
Depends on your budget but regardless of it go for aluminium fabrication.

Your mass air flow of 5.13g/s while engine is idling at 800 rpm is pretty on the high side.
Your short term trim says it as your fuel consumption would be on the high side over time.
Thank you.

Hello people,
As a first time car owner am be doing some few search and I felt this is the right place to be, between Toyota Corolla 2015 and Honda Accord 2015 which is the best option to go for as a first time car owner? Like a novice. Your response will be totally appreciated thanks.

Call this guy +234 808 400 0804

He's in Lagos though. But he'll deliver to you.

But I doubt oxygen sensor alone would improve your mpg considerably.

what other things should I look out for? The car runs smoothly. The fan isn't connected directly ( though I recently did this)

How did you come to the conclusion that oxygen sensor was bad?

You can't know who my A/F plug is. Heck, I don't even know who my A/F plug is. If you need one, just find one. I got my sensor ordered from Lagos by my kazeem friend.
Bro, can that YouTube video be applied on the upstream sensor (A/F). I have changed mine twice. Still P1172 showing up. Ike agwugom...

This is how you get ripped off, understandable you have been using a certain brand, but what happens when that brand is out of reach? Your vehicle manufacturer has a recommended oil viscosity for your vehicle, get a reputable brand of that recommended oil viscosity from an approved retailer and be worry free!
You will not get sick or not function well if you take Dano milk in place of your regular peak milk, but you might visit the restroom many times than normal if you accidentally replace your peak milk with cerelac infant milk.

Pls where did you run this diagnosis from?


quote author=Originakalokalo post=130361574]Car is Honda Accord 2006

Car idle fine and drive fine.


DTC details
Freeze frame DTC = P0171

Fuel system status = 0

Engine load - calculated value = 39.61%

Engine coolant temperature = 71°C

Short term fuel trim (B1) = -10.94%

Long term fuel trim (B1) = 25%

Intake manifold absolute pressure = 40kPa

Engine speed = 828rpm

Vehicle speed = 2km/h

Timing advance (cylinder 1) = 6.5°

Intake air temperature = 35°C

Mass air flow = 5.13g/s

Throttle - absolute position = 16.08%

Kindly notice a 0 fuel system status status while Coolant temperature is 71. That's an open loop.

Anyone please?[/quote]

Please house i need help.
My car won't start, i thought it was the battery so i got someone to jump start the battery and behold! My battery is well charged but the engine won't roll.
I've checked everything possible.
Dashboard lights come on when i insert the key in the ignition but i only hear a faint KPA followed by a humming sound and that's all.
Please what can i try, i don't want the electrician come and fry my wires.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Femiii: 12:55pm On Jun 17, 2024
Hello people. I drive a 2006 Honda accord 4 plug. The transmission suddenly rev high then forcefully shift from gear 1 to 2nd gear with a loud sound. When stuck in traffic it won't move until i off the engine remove the key then start the vehicle again. Once it moves to 2nd gear , every other gear select smoothly. The check engine lights stays on when the slipping occurs. Note prior to this , no check engine. The D also blinks. Have scanned the vehicle. Here is the P1734, P0780. The oil is wine in color. I serviced the transmission with original Dw1 last 2years cus i rarely drive the car.

The mass airflow reading is higher than expected for his engine, considering the fact that the engine was at idle state from the live stream.
But then I can't tell if he was running any extra load like the AC on because of his calculated load values.
But in all, I suspect his trims would eventually shoot higher over time if the mass airflow readings stays same.
As for where one can run such diagnosis, you can reach me on 07089030689 for proper in-depth diagnosis and breakdown.

You didn't state what car it is.
A Toyota Land cruiser?
You might have to take out the entire intake manifold to access the Kickstarter buried in-between the V bank if it is.

The colour of the oil is as important as the smell.
Does it smell burnt?

They've got a store in Ibadan. Close to UI.

If the colour is whine as you say, this image shows the oil is either worn or burnt out. Except the camera added some tint to the colour.

You could use a scanner to test the solenoids and see if they're responsive. I'm not a professional mechanic. This is just personal suggestion.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by eightsin(m): 9:23am On Jun 20, 2024
Good day bosses.
My 08 es350 suddenly started making a loud humming sound like the fans inside is hitting something especially when just put on but reduces a lot after cooling and the fan speed is on speed 2 or lower. It wasn't like this before. It still cools but I'm worried it might degenerate to something worse if nothing is done.
