It is only a intectually lazy peeps that deals with Toyota only .All cars brand s the same general architect ,though specification may differ.
This is why we remain behind technologically -wise.Mechanic will be the one dictating the car to use for us becos they are afraid to think beyond anything Toyota and Honda. They are all afraid of Benz ,BMW and other high ends cars !!!Bunch of wasted generations!!

I choose to be an Optometrist; you can choose to be an Obstetrician or Gynecologist for all I care . . .
Did you get that

Hello gurus,.
I use rav4 '02 . my concern is that anytime I drive into much pool of water the battery light comes up on the dashboard and disappear after some seconds or minute. What could be the cause and possible solution?
Am not satisfied with what my rewire said.
Thanks

Tochiokoye:
pls help a brother in need

GAZZUZZ:
why pesin go just de sell beef like this?

liquidcrystal73:


Stop driving into pools of water; and what did you rewire tell you.

3kay945:


Can this be totally avoided during raining season in Lagos?

Rewire said [b]when water get to the engine belt the alternator sensor won't work wel[/b]l. I don't know if some other vehicles acts in such way.

The fan belts are probably bad . . and when wet with water; tend to slip . . less rotational force to power the alternator . .
Does fan belt squeak when submerged in water

Please whenever I enter a bump, I feel the two front tyres, shake and wobble,I am afraid ro accelerate fast, the steering acts like its gonna swerve off, the mechanic says it's the steering rack that the rubber is bad and was spoiled be the leaking rack...
A scan also showed Knock and oxygen sensor, what is the effect of not changing these items on time...

No squeak sound either while in water or otherwise. Though, I have changed the fan belt cos I noticed a slight cut on it. I await rainfall now to test if it's the belt or not.

Thanks.

As per your codes:

1. Faulty thermostat system (bad wiring or bad device)
2. EVAP malfunction
3. Shift solenoid ( check wiring or replace device) . .. to fix your loss of power.
4. IAT ( check wiring or replace device )
5. Igniter circuit: Issues with ignition (coils); or at worse bad ECM . . check coils and ignition 1st
6. OCV --- Faulty oil control valve (or wiring) ; stuck camshaft or bad timing . . . needs physical diagnosis

This engine is seriously sick; hmmmm

My camry 2004 did something that got me thinking...

I was driving slowly and discovered my car wasn't moving freely, it was moving like it was on brake. I checked my hand brake and everything thing I can but I couldn't figure out the issue.

Then after a stop, the passenger's back tire locks... Sudden lock.

That single back tire. No drive no reverse.

After a while, it unlocks.

What could be this

Tochiokoye:
thank boss for the response. an auto electrician was able to fix the car, the car is moving fine now..but when climbing a hill the car raves up and slows down..pls assist

What brand of tyre is good for a Camry Tiny Big Light?

liquidcrystal73:


How did you fix the shift solenoid issue?

solaceTK:
Hello house Pls l need ur help, l drive Camry 97 model, black smoke comes out from my exhaust pipe and it consumes fuel like mad, l had my exhaust catalyst and air flow meter changed 2 days ago, yet d black smoke continues and the fuel consumption is still terribly high l buy 10 liters of fuel on daily basis just driving from my house to my office back home which is less that 15 kilometers. Pls l don't know what else to do to solve this problem. I need help from gurus because all d mechanics here in Awka Anambra state can really pin point what d issue is. They are just doing guesswork and am tired of wasting cash without proper solution.

PGON:
Thanks for your service.
.............One of the mechanic advised that i should allow him make the AC fan permanently on.

Hooo my God !! What has A/C fan got to do with a CEL? Kazeems never fail to represent!
Run from that mecho . . . he is only clearing the CEL without working on the issues.
And what type of ATF did you put? Abro ??
Get somebody else to scan the vehicle and paste codes here
