Did you recently removed the battery to reset the system?
Does it comes down again to 750-850rpm?
Do you have a scanner? Run scan for codes and run a live scan to check throttle pedal position sensors and throttle body positioning.
Do this and let us know the outcome
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by cmoney22222: 10:46pm On May 16, 2019
yes it comes down, but it takes time, i have a scanner but no check engine light on, however i will do a scan and post code.. thanks again sir

Does the car drive well with ac on?

Yes it does drive well especially on freeway, I only notice some jerking when it's on idle (with or without AC), and the check engine light remain.

More info: When I removed the plug in cylinder 2, it was dark but then I put in another good plug and the issue still remain. I can guess that the new one may have gone dark by the time I check again. It's 1MZ engine

If spark and fuel supply confirmed. Next check compression. If poor then focus on valves and head gasket

Is there any diy on how I can test compression myself?as I don't really have any workshop around my end that does compression test.
Fuel supply was confirm through swap of injectors, is that sufficient?

No but, you should have Random multiple Cylinder misfire if fuel pressure is the culprit and not Cylinder 2 which has been repeated.

Okay I do not have multiple misfire, just the single cylinder 2 that is acting up. My kazeem says he may need to open the engine if it does not adjust itself soon but am concerned about that. The vehicle is still relatively fresh toks

Most definitely, happened to me on a fresh toks engine. Kazeem had to open engine to grind the top engine before I had all cylinders working

Sir,

What can be the reason a 04 honda accord (EOD) have a very bad fuel economy, the car literally sucks fuel.
I took it to a mechanic who specializes in Honda cars over here, he told me I should replace the injectors, but I don't believe that's the cause. So I told him to clean the Injector, which he did, and there was no improvement whatsoever. That further convinces me that it isn't the injector, coz if it was, there should have been a slight improvement when the injector was cleaned.

Meanwhile, he checked the air filter, he checked the 02 sensor and says they are okay.

Sir, I have a Toyota corolla 2004 that I bought from Car 45. Whenever the engine is cold, it takes time to start and usually vibrate seriously until about 10 minutes before car stabilized.
I took it for scan, cylinder misfiring was detected. Plz what's the best solution to this problem.
Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:


with your strut and coil spring setup, you can adjust height with stiffer coil springs, you will get extra height at the expense of comfort.

You can also use tyres with larger diameter.

Would it then be advisable to move from 195/65/R15 to either a 205/65/R15 or 215/65/R15.

Or maybe a 195/70/14.

Hello all, I need help as to the most effective method of lifting a vehicle.

My car is quite low and I’ve had to visit the exhaust repair shop regularly.

I’ve been told all sorts from a change of tyre rims to padding the springs with foam and the rest.

I’d really appreciate some help. Thank you.

If you don't mention vehicle type, I cannot help
