GAZZUZZ: @Gazzuz, My Camry has this drama it does sometimes. Lets say I drive with AC, music or lights for long, once I park the car somewhere and turn it off, coming back to it a few minutes later, it wont start. Unless u bring another battery. I bought an extra battery thinking it was battery ish yet it didnt work. Someone said I should change alternator as my battery isnt charging. It happened again today. Both batteries couldnt start the car. I borrowed from another driver and it didnt start still until we waited a while. Meanwhile my own batteries started his own car. What could cause this? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:09pm On Mar 31, 2019 |
magikalz: faulty starter motor or faulty electrical connections to starter motor. Poor grounding can also be part of the problem. 2 Likes |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by seanfer(m): 7:26am On Apr 02, 2019 |
ThoniaSlim: Won’t take more than 2 days. Pay him a visit without informing Him. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kingreign(m): 8:00am On Apr 02, 2019 |
seanfer: what if the mechanic does work on first come first serve basis and he had other customers in line before her? That said, a visit to his garage isn't out of place. |

kingreign: Boss I am sure that if you are the Mechanic you will surely give her time to come pick her car.... But in this case seems like the Mechanic is playing some pranks... He should have explain to her when to come for her car |

Please house help me answer o. So I just changed my transmission on a Honda Civic. They brought the car today. The transmission is perfect but I hear a funny sound from the engine and when I took it for a test drive and put the AC it looked like the engine was lagging. My mechanic is saying the reason is because my transmission is new and the sensors need time to adapt (Whatever that means). He said I should give it a week and give a report next week. Alternatively he saying I might need to change the engine over time (No money ooo). Please what do you guys think? |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 3:19pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
ThoniaSlim: There is nothing adapting anywhere. If the issue wasn't there initially, something is wrong. You should probably start with a scan to see which codes come out |

Please, what can make a car to keep shutting off whenever it's in traffic especially in afternoon. And also the rpm is usually less than 1000 during that period. Note: It just start recently |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 4:48pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
seyema: What car? How low does the rpm goes before shutting off? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by seyema(m): 4:59pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
oluwaseunla:It's a bus(1tr-fe). It always goes less than half of 1. I don't even know when do shutdown. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 5:05pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
seyema: Less than half of 1 means below 500rpm. If I can recollect well, the 1tr-fe should have an electronic throttle body. Clean out the throttle body itself. I suspect a lot of gunk has accumulated at the butterfly. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by seyema(m): 6:15pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
oluwaseunla: It's there any nickname mechanics used to call it? I would have scan it but the bus is already heavily kazeemised |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oluwaseunla(m): 7:30pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
seyema: Throttle body is called "injector mouth". Tell the guy to clean it out with carburetor cleaner. |
