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

Morning,

the codes are P0420 and P0142

replace catalytic converter it's gone.

The code p0142 seems to be suspicious, but is your vehicle a V6?

Good afternoon oga Gazzuzz, I drive a rx 330 and check engine light came up about a week ago, I scanned it and it showed Crankshaft Position Camshaft Position Correlation. I cleared it and it came back again so definitely there is a problem somewhere. How do I tackle this issue. Thank you sir

been having a really shitty spambot filled week.



Replace both upstream 02 sensors on either bank , this will not solve the current reving on its own and jerking





Bro, the mechanic claims he's testing the brain box. Please, in your honest opinion, what could cause this revving when gear is changed?

if you don't have enough money to buy the catalytic converter(45k to 100k) there is a cheaper alternative, get an 02 spacer (5k) and check out YouTube video on how to install, then get it installed by a panel beater (2k)

You can chat me up just in case you need assistance, thanks nurey and autologic for this alternative

First check the fluid level and then if you have a check engine light and the right tool check for a transmission code. Fluid level is our hunch though. Sometimes when they take CV joint out, fluid runs and they don't top off.

Hello Gazzuzz, I need your urgent advise, im having gear box issue with a toyota solara 2000 (Sienna Engine v6) car.

The gear does not shift to Drive even after raving, but shifts perfectly well to Reverse.

A gear master advised I changed the "varbody" of the gear. After doing that the issue still persist and even got worse as it no longer enters shift to Reverse.

I'm considering changing the entire gear box, however i would like to get your input on this.


This is the first time it occurred and the issue escalated immediately.

Hi @GAZZUZZ ,
Please what is the best engine oil to use for toyota camry 2007 170k milage. Vvti four plug engine. The last service done by last owner abroad was Castrol oil Egde bio 0W- 20 which is owner specification. Considering our hot weather and the high milage, what should I use in Nigeria. Thanks!
