Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by RealDannie(m): 2:15pm On Aug 24, 2019 |
Good day house, I drive a 2005 camry (big daddy) athe check engine light won't go off after I got fuel from one (Pencil Oil filling station) last week. Immediately I started the engine after buying fuel the check engine light refused to go off, thought it's temporary but to my surprise it's still on. Also, I thought I should be able to use 5k from Lakowe(ibeju-lekki) to lekki phase 1, to and from work for the week (mon - friday) but the 5k fuel I bought on Monday morning at Northwest filling station was already reading empty on Thursday evening, had to refill on Friday morning. Please is everything ok, cause I just got the car and started driving it last week. Kindly assist. Thanks Cc Gazzuzz |

Good morning sir, anytime I start my car (avalon 04) there is this sharp sound like something rubbing on iron then stops. My mechanic said it is oil distributor or something. Changed it and it still makes the sound. What might be wrong? |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by adanny01(m): 8:29pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
cucumbar: I has happened to me. Its not your thermostat, it is you coolant temperature sensor 2. Yes there are 2 of them but the 2 controls the fan. It is located at the bottom left of your radiator. You have 3 options, 1. Replace the sensor 2. Bridge the connector (Fan will run with IGN II ON) 3. Constantly drive with AC on |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thebigkendo(m): 9:29pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
adanny01: That won't work on an 07 accord, except you mean bridging the relay contact.. From experience I would suggest he troubleshoots the fan control relay circuit before going to sensor.. Using the same car, I have driven around with a bad ECT2 sensor and my fan still cycled off & on as it should.. I guess the ECM noticed the sensor under the radiator was giving wrong reading and controlled the fan via the sensor on the engine block |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thebigkendo(m): 9:35pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
cucumbar: Something made the fuse to cut.. Find that & your problem will be resolved.. Did you replace your fan motor recent? Or maybe drove inside water Do you have a check engine light on? If yes.. Please scan & post the code here.. Is the temperature gauge on your guage cluster working? Asin does it get to red when the car starts overheating? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by oriented(m): 9:51pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
Please can someone help me with possible reason why my Toyota corolla 03 consumes fuel more than necessary. Though my exhaust lacks catalyst, as it was removed before purchase. I hv just replace it with some wire gauss as advised by a panel. Please I need assistance |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by timifakay(m): 10:01pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
cucumbar: How did you know that the vehicle was overheating? What was the temperature the fans worked without the AC on? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by adanny01(m): 11:11pm On Aug 26, 2019 |
thebigkendo: True, i presumed 2003-7 would be same, it happened to a friend's 08 Accord. However, he also experienced erratic over heating. The fan still cycled on and off normally at idle but never at specific temp bands. Once a while it will overheat. His case wasn't a bad sensor but the connector was somehow removed after engine replacement so wasn't connected. I did live scan and noticed it would exceed its normal temp band before engaging the fan. My assumption was that the ECU relied on ECT 1 in the absence of ECT 2 unlike my 2003 which relied entirely on ECT 2. This, in my view is correct because ECT 1 is the outgoing engine coolant temp while ECT 2 is the incoming Engine coolant temp knowing that the outgoing temp is always higher. In that case the erratic over heating stopped when the ECT 2 was connected. |

Hello Oga GAZZUZZ. Please sir i notice a grinding sound around the timing belt side from my toyota sienna 98. I asked mechanic to hear the sound, he said it is either water pump or roller, I want to confirm from you is it possible. |
