Hello, please I need help with my car, I noticed it idled from gear 2 when trying to move to 3. And noticed it consume more fuel.
Car model toyota camry 2007 after scanning this is the code it brought out.

C0200: Front Speed Sensor RH Circuit
C0205: Front Speed Sensor LH Circuit
P0037: Oxygen Sensor Heater Control
Circuit Low(Bank 1 Sensor 2)
P0798: Pressure Control Solenoid 'C
Electrical
P0986: Shift Solenoid 'E' Control Circuit
High
P2238: Oxygen Sensor Pumping Current
Circuit Low(for A/F sensor)(Bank 1
Sensor 1)

Does anyone know any mechanic/Rewire that can help fix this problem in Lagos.
Check the transmission fluid if it low or dirty
Are you sure ur abs Sensor is connected at d front, check first to be sure.
Need to test ur Oxygen sensors manually to be sure they okay before replacing them.

Happy Boxing day fam.

My car idles very perfectly and is in good condition. But i noticed after driving on the expressway and accelerating a bit. When i slow down, like at a traffic light for example it starts to rough idle and the oil light starts to flicker, when it does this it jerks a bit when i want to accelerate after the light turns green. My mechanic said he doesn’t knw what is wrong and when he scanned it the only issue was irregular engine timing and he said it cannot be the cause.

Note:
I changed the top gasket last year after a friend made the car overheat. Although the engine sound changed acfterwards but no serious issues

The car is a 09 Toyota Camry. 4 plug.

Two issues you have here. Incorrect valve timing and sludge build up within the engine

I just bought a seat Leon 2014. I notice the engine indicator light came up all of a sudden. The car jerks a bit occasionally if I want to accelerate from rest. It's occasional. I'm worried the engine indicator and jerk could be something serious. The car uses diesel as fuel and I have used Diesel exhaust filter (DEF) thinking it's the filter that needs unclogging but that is not helping either. I bout the car fairly used and it has done 75000 miles so far.

Guys my Lexus ES300 is having trouble accelerating and I scanned it and it showed the problem is knock sensor. I have tried different knock sensors and it still shows the same issue. I don tire. What can I do?

Good morning my people,

Please I recently changed my Exhaust system and after sometime I noticed that my vehicle jerks while on motion, according to my mechanic he said that fuel mixes with water somewhere.

Now I hear a kind of sand at the back like woooooooooo while accelerating the vehicle
. This sound can be frustrating. The mechanic said it is inner shaft bearing, which he has changed, yet the noise is still there. Please does anyone have an idea of what is wrong please?

Vehicle: Toyota Avalon 2022
You probably meant sound not sand that essentially is the wheel bearing.

Depending on your car 🚗 the rear wheel bearings can be infused with the rear brake discs and are not separate.

Finally this your name Oniovo eeee be like say we relate 😄😄

Let your technician check for sludge build up by doing a tear down on the valve cover and secondly checking the valve timing

Incorrect engine timing will not give you the signs you mentioned, there are millions of cars out there with timing codes and they still continue to drive smoothly, I can bet my two balls that you have serious sludge in your engine, let your mechanic check for sludge, if none, report back and ask for my address for castration.
if you weren't unfortunate to have just purchased this vehicle recently, then it means last owner didn't abuse, the abuse was from you and you deserve to be detained, that's because people like you often look for unsuspecting suckers to sell their cars to, what's your vin so people can avoid your vehicle?.

Guys I just bought 100 AH battery a month ago, however, on parking the car for one week I discovered that the new battery can't start the car again.

What the duration that MB can stay idle that will make a new battery to run flat.

Can I approached the seller to replace the battery for me, since I am suspecting the battery is fake.

You do not have to remove your thermostat if it's good. Have someone competent check the following compnents:
1. Radiator cap to ensure it seals properly and holds pressure and also relief pressure as should.
2. Radiator for leaks and blockage.
3. Thermostat to ensure it closes and opens at the right temperature range.
4. Water pump to ensure it's not worn out.
5. Head gasket to ensure it's not blown.

Hello Guys,

Please my Honda Accord EOD 2004 V4 engine was ringed about three months ago, now the smoking have started again and the car shorting oil.

Will you advise me to ring the engine again?

Who has an idea of the amount of a tokunbo engine? I will appreciate if I can get contact of a seller at either ladipo or oyingbo

Thank you.

Hello, please I need help with my car,

My car was flooded last year and it affected my gear. I took it to a gear specialist and it was fixed and started working.

Last month I noticed that when I am increasing my speed from 40 to 60, my car does not respond immediately. It drags or jerks.

I took it back to my mechanic and I was told there was issues switching from gear 2 to gear 3 and that it skips gear 3 and goes to gear 4.

What could be the cause of this and what next steps should I take.

Car Model - 2011 Camry
Gear - 22 pin
