there's more to vehicle selection than just a budget. There are too many variables involved. Streamline it.

Yes sir, I have tried to prime it but didnt start right away. Yesterday i primed it 3 times and i had to crank twice before engine started. When i put the ignition on, i hear the humm sound from the fuel pump, i did it 2 more times and cranked the engine but it didnt start right away. Whatelse can be done sir. I want my engine to start as cranked sir.
The only time i enjoy crank and start is maybe when i park suddenly to receive a phone call or anytime i have a brief stop, in this case it usually start one time!!!
GAZZUZZ:


Engine type? Try priming before starting next time.

That would have been a great option, but we all know that Toyota prices are crazy, can't afford it.

That completely rules out fuel pressure.

At this point there's little I can do remotely.

Start by checking Cylinder compressions, it is very possible engine takes more time building compression on the first cycle.

You could have a carbon buildup in the valve area.

this is just a guess.

Buy the car, replace all the joints with OEM brand new, have them checked every year. You will be fine.

Go and buy a better car for your father. Mercedes Benz E class... C klasse... Toyota Camry or Corolla... 4runner... even a Lexus. Just leave the Honda alone with their issues

Same engine and in some cases same transmission. The RX350 has a more durable suspension system.

Oga Gazzuzz please help!
I have a honda civic 2008 which sometimes after driving for a long distance it will just slow down to about 20km/h and won't accelerate.. If i press the gas pedal it slows it down even more. If i leave the gas pedal it goes up gradually by itself....if i stop and take out the battery terminal or allow it to cool down for some minutes it will start driving fine.. No check engine light... No scan codes.. What could be the culprit please ?

The query above is direct and straight to the point. The one you have will require hands on vehicle and cannot/should not be diagnosed remotely.

Good afternoon Oga Gazzuzz, my car jerks at certain rpm, between 1500-1800. Once it passes that level it becomes normal, what could be wrong sir?.. my car is Toyota corolla bank type, 07, manual tranny.
