Good evening house,

Please what’s your take on getting a Nigerian used Highlander 2012 V6 engine. Is there anything to look out for?

It’s a great buy, solid engine of well maintained
Just make sure you go with a qualified mechanic for inspection who can check check engine running condition, confirming that the gearbox works perfectly fine and obviously carrying out a comprehensive scan on it he vehicle computer

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by udosam(m): 9:21am On Jun 14, 2025
I just discovered that my Toyota Camry 08 throttle plate actuator hose is not connected to the throttle at all.

One end of the hose is connected to the intake valve (I think) while the other end that is supposed to be connected to the throttle valve is not connected (they now use something to block the hose)

My car has been rough idling especially when the engine is hot. Could this be the cause?

My engineer in the house, pls help.

Very possible if you have vacuum issues which that exposed hose could cause in other not to fly blindly, get the car scanned, check fuel trim data also to know what we’re dealing with. I’ve also included a picture of your manifold is that the hose you’re referring to ?

The hose going to the highlighted nipple . That’s the one that was not fixed

Hmmm first you need a good technician to help and check d fluid level if low or not.
Second, the oil cooler need to be inspected to see the condition.
Third just replace the fluid with original ws oil ohh allow it run properly and take for another test drive.

Look out for shock absorbers and suspension squeaks. Engine and gbox are usually solid if well maintained by previous owner.

Hard wearing and great for Powertrain scanning and Check Engine Lights removal. I don't think it would do TPMS, AIRBAGS SRS, ABS or module programing. Price seems reasonable for a simple diy tool.

Have the transmission cooling pipes checked if it has been disconnected from the coolant radiator and looped. Thats the most likely cause if not a faulty Transmission Temperature Sensor.

Its best to take a picture of the actual thing with the connection as in place and post rather than this illustration. Your description is a bit confusing.

Where is your location?
You need to
1. Check if anything blocks your transmission cooler,
2. If your radiator is okay,
3. If your transmission fluid is up to level.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Lucaski: 11:13am On Jun 16, 2025

Good day Chief, a hose is attached to the highlited nipple but the hose was blocked with a screw in my 2006 Toyota Camry, I have looked around the engine and no where is opened.

Your description is quite vague, no car brand, model and model year. I doubt though, most will only just show you the speedometer as well as rpm reading

I doubt that, but judging the car I don’t think it’ll be too expensive to procure since you are considering an android screen. I tell you what, I’ll be heading to Ladipo spare part market tomorrow and try and get a price mark for you

As suggested, your transmission oil might be low.
Do an oil level check to confirm this.
Feel free to call 07089030689 for further assistance
