PM me the name so I can look it up or at the very least you should be able to remember some of the major parts that were quoted. What were the parts?

Appguru:


I have found it, thanks.

In other words the engine number for that sample you showed me is - 2GR6274464

Boss,
Toyota matrix 2007 has the listed codes when scanned.

P0010
P0455
P0441
P0354
P0351

Recently it wouldn't start up but crack well after driving few minutes of driving and making a stop. Kick on one attempt after resting for about 20mins.

A woman drives the car so the intermittent not starting up after small stop over is really worrisome really.

What do you recommend?

GAZZUZZ:


Two things are possible,
P0354
P0351

Faulty ignition coils. They might be bad, or sockets removed with ignition on when testing.

P0455
P0441

Incorrect flow and large leak. This could be causing the hard start, confirm the device in first pic is only allowing air in one direction, if it is going in both directions replace it

P0010. Just reconnect the camshaft actuator at the back of the engine . 2nd pic

Happy Sunday Gazzuz

I brought in a 2006 Honda Pilot AWD (J35a9 engine) from the US

The car was cleared last week but it has refused to start. 
It cranks and cranks but just doesn't start. 

Noticed yesterday that the plugs get wet with fuel, changed the brain box but still didn't start (the plugs were still wet with fuel even with 2 brain boxes installed)

Tested the spark plugs for spark and it was orange/red spark, instead of blue or white so we changed the plugs but it still didn't start. 

Changed the nozzles and then exchanged the main relay with the one beside it. Car then started and died when I depressed the accelerator. 

Since then, car hasn't started again, just keeps cranking. 

Scanned the car, no error codes

Brought the car in for my mother-in-law, please assist, with possible fixes, before they take my wife back from me.

Thanks, as always

Vehicle cannot be diagnosed properly remotely.

From your description engine lacks compression but my statement might be incorrect.

God bless you with what you've been doing with this thread.
There is this Nigerian used 2011 RAV4 I am considering buying and the only concern I've seen so far is when driving and gear is supposed to shift to gear 3, the car just revs and jerks before moving on. Called a mechanic and he said the issue is with transmission solenoid (which he said would cost N50,000.00 to fix and the seller has agreed to pay) though the check engine sign is not on; my question is, would you suggest I go ahead and buy it since the mechanic said it is something that can be fixed?

GAZZUZZ:


Scan transmission. Seems wrong transmission is installed in vehicle.

Never believe this silly quotes on major problems. After paying for vehicle, you will realise much greater issues.

shevon:

That's the thing, the onboard computer is not returning any error and when I scanned with my (cheap) OBDII device, no issue was reported. I am very aware of the history of the vehicle: bought brand new and used by my company, sold to a colleague after being fully depreciated, who's wife has used it for 3years before stepping up to something bigger. They have never changed fixed/worked on the transmission. Heck, the milage is still under 85k. My mechanic said changing the solenoid will do the trick, but I'm just confused. If the solenoid is changed and the car doesn't give the issue again, do you suggest I still buy it?

Oga Gazzuzz, good afternoon,
Please I have a Honda Accord 2008 V6 that misfires while driving, but once I turn it off and start it again everything becomes normal, at least for a few days. What do you think is wrong and what should I do??

Thank you.

Oga Gazzuzz, my mpv 02 is constantly selecting 2 on d gear even when its selected to drive, reverse or park thereby making it difficult for the gear selection while in motion. Again, d o/d indicator flashes regularly and doesn't go off anymore. Already serviced d gear but d problem persists. Kindly help me with possible way out sir. Good morning.

Please, I'm willing to top up coolant on my Lexus ES 350 purchased TOKs. I have no idea which is right to use. I couldn't see any coolant in the reservoir as well to decide what best coolant to buy using colour variation as determinant.

Please help on right to purchase.
