Good Afternoon All.

Please I need help, my car vibrates/shakes moving between 30km/hr and 40km/hr. Anything above 40kmph, car drives smoothly.

I have four new tires with recommended psi, done wheel balancing and alignment.

Gazzuzz, kingreignn and any other persons who have experienced the same and got it resolved.



Car is a Toyota camry 07

My Honda Accord has been given me challenges. I have to park it after every 2 to 3 km for it to rest before I continue. It does overhearing too. Mechanic and rewire are are feasting on me. What can I do?

Had to suppress the urge not to giggle at the bolded. It's well! Stop driving it for now until you have your cooling system and cylinder head gaskets checked by a qualified technician.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by AmeLonRo(m): 1:29pm On Nov 12, 2019
thanks man. A qualified technician checked it for 3 days. he changed the gasket and some items in the cylinder. It gets very hot still. very hot. The fuel filter was changed too. what else can I do?

Baba, He diagnosed your car for 3 days and eventually changed the gaskets, grind the valves to seat properly I assume and 'replaced some items in the cylinder' - your car's engine gets very hot within a 1-2 mile radius as you specified earlier... and you still think he's qualified?

Your radiator fan, water pump and coolant hoses may be toast already. Coupled with the fact that he may have done a shoddy job with fake parts during the gasket change.

Which Honda Accord be dis sef?

Rescan, replace radiator, reinstall thermostat, restore fan connections back to factory spec, and buy better fuel like full tank wink

See pic below:

if engine has been disassembled it is possible timing is off

It is also possible there is sludge

Possible the Vtc solenoid is malfunctioning

Possible the Vtc solenoid filter is blocked

Find a mechanic who understands what I just wrote.

Hello Gazzuzz, please help me out on this.
I Bought a nigerian used Toyota 4 Runner '05 model in March this year.
Replaced the oil and filter then drove it to Benin .
Car did very well ,no issues but on my return trip it began stalling and would slow down and not accelerate and check engine light came on. So I had to stop like 10mins and re start and it would pick up .this happened thrice between Benin and Lagos.

Since I came back and drive around Lagos , anytime I accelerate, the check engine light keeps flashing and I hear a "tapping noise " from the engine. When I slow down the check engine light just stays . it also doesnt accelerate like it should and i sometimes need to "pump" the pedal to get it to move .

when I start it in the morning ,it takes its time to settle down and the check light flashes then stops .then vibrates .

Did a scan with my friends tool and it showed Valve 1 misfire . (I've forgotten the P code number)
Can you please help out. Other experienced Mechs please add a voice.

Thanks
