Good afternoon Gazzuz

Trust you are safe.

I didnt drive my 2003 highlander for like 3 weeks at the beginning of this lockdown.

when i finally moved her, noticed that while driving (on D), the gear disengages and if I depress the throttle, it just revs like the car is on park or neutral.

I had to engage the reverse gear first, then move back to drive (D) before it picked again.

this has happened like twice after I first noticed it.

Please advise on how to fix this.

Thank you

Any codes? Check fluid levels . A lot of cars developed skois skois during this lock down including mine wink
Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by lexini: 6:03pm On May 05, 2020
Lol.

No codes o.

The gear fluid seems to be at the appropriate level for cold engine. But it is low for hot engine.

Should I just top it up with type TIV or should I drain and refill?

Good evening Boss
Kindly help with this .

Ever since I bought my corolla 2004 more than 5yrs ago, Anytime I just full my tank in the filling station, I will turn the key to start it, it will appear to start, but the engine goes off, then I start it again, it will ,I will then fire, later it stops after like 20secs, until around 4th time of starting it..
When i fuel with little quantity it has a less severe issue.
Initially I overlooked it but for the embarashment
All other times, the engine starts on one kick only when i fuel it.

Someone said it's fuel filter, I have changed it yet no improvement.
Someone said it's fuel tank, I got a new one also because the former was leaking.

What do I do Sir
Re: ASK GAZZUZZ by lexini: 9:17pm On May 05, 2020
Aii, will do and revert.

Thanks a lot. Gazzuz

Had similar issue with my Mazda tribute sometime ago.Scan the car, if you have no errors relating to plug or ignition coil then change fuel pump.

hello everyone,

I am looking at getting a reliable vehicle for my day to day runnings. I drive less than 50 miles a day, space is a determining factor as i am about 6 ft 3 tall (I tried driving a ZDX but it didn't work for me as it seemed too tight even with the seat adjusted to the back). I'd like a vehicle that is reliable, unproblematic if necessary maintenance is done. I currently drive a 2010 pilot but i'd like something a little more trendy. vehicles like Mercedes ML350, acura mdx 08-11, Range Rover sport, Lexus RX 350(can consider upping my budget for the 2010), Toyota Highlander 08 e.t.c have crossed my mind but I'm not sure which to go with. Budget is 4 Million Naira.
I'd like to be advised on which is best to go for and if not within this list, others be recommended.

NB: i find SUVs preferable but spacious cars like Venza and co will be considered.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello Gazzuzz,
Pls I need help. My car veers to the left at every/any first move, but when on the highway it goes straight. I have done done wheel alignment and wheel balance and those auto guys think it's okay but I am positive it's not.
I understand sloppy roads could cause it to veer right or left depending. But mine veers left all the time - on straight roads, or so.
What could be the cause??

Hello Oga GAZZUZZ,
Good day all,
I have an unresolved issue with my civic 02, each time I drives it on hot weather, after moving like 5kms on high speed it reduce d speed by itself gradually and stopped moving, when the car cool for sometimes it moved perfectly again and slowing down gradually again and continues like that.....the problem only happened if am going on long journey. when I first scanned the car the engineer said my gear censor is bad, we replaced the censor three times there was no changes, I service the gear completely it did yield any positive result, the I changed the gear last year but the problem still persists. I was introduced to another mechanic early this year he suggested so many things that might be the problem of the car which I obliged to fixed but non of them work. among what we have done on the car are; fixing of thermostat, servicing engine and gear censor, changes of radiator, fans, fuel pump, plugs, nozzles, top gasket e.tc. sorry for long explanation and seek pardon for some topographical and grammatical errors.
waiting for an expert who can advice or suggest what to do pls

Possibly fuel pressure. Have it checked on a pressure tool running for at least 30mins. Also check catalytic converters for blockage

Oga Gazzuzz,
Good evening, kindly help me out. I am having two issue on My Camry 2000 5s fe engine.
1. Since the past one month I noticed the water level in radiator always dropping, I would have to top up at at least twice in a week and I have had two occasions where temperature spike: on both cases, parked for some moment for engine to cool down and top up the water. this was not like this before. I have run the car for more than three months without the water level in radiator dropping. I have inspect, no leakage observed. what else should I check for?

2. Last week I was a in a traffic and the car started shaking and CEL came up. Got a mini scanner, scan it and got P0301.
I have checked the plug, they are good I just replaced them not too long. though the indicated cylinder plug not fired like others.
I have changed the spark plug wire no difference.
My brother used the car to Ibadan yesterday and told me He took it to mechanic and they serviced the fuel Injection Nozzle still no difference. what else can I do or check for?
This evening while returning from work I hear a sound like a gnashing of teeth but notice when I run AC I do not hear it. what could that be?

On the no 2 issue, the engine looks stable at start when is cold, but after driving 10-15min and had stop at traffic light or in traffic CEL will come up again and vehicle begin to shake. what other things should I check?.

Thank you
