Car type Camry 2007 sport version

folarr:

Hi GAZZUZZ,
I wanted to ask you this before I take my car to any mechanic.
I own a 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Recently, It started stalling when in traffic. If I stop and want to move again, the engine would go off and I have to start it again. I had this problem with my previous car, a Dodge Charger. But my mechanic could not fix it so I sold the car
Thanks.

folarr:

Gazzuzz I asked for your workshop some days ago to repair my car and you have not replied me.
I ask again please where is your workshop

folarr:

GAZZUZZ:

Good AFTERNOON Gazzuzz

I am here with my 2003 Highlander v6 4wd again.

Noticed that when I'm on cruising speed at 100-120kmph, the rpm is between 2500 to 3000.

However, on the same speed with my 07 es350, the rpm is usually between 1800 to 2000.

I have a feeling the highlander doesn't get into the last gear. And it consumes a lot of fuel. No actual or pending error codes on the car.

How do I resolve this, please?

Thank you.

GAZZUZZ:


Nothing wrong with the gear ratios.

kingreign:

Like my mentor Gazzuzz rightly said, there's nothing wrong with your transmission.
It's a 4speed transmission compared to your Lexus which is a 6speed.

That said, run a live scan to know what you can find. Hope you know the parameters to look out for?

Good morning Oga Gazzuzz.

I want to replace my Odyssey car engine, I then decided to follow your advice by doing a VIN check. Most of the engines do not have the VIN tags, I was even thinking maybe those guys were deliberating removing the tags. I finally got one with tag and did a check.

For the only engine I was able to check, the last reported location was Canada in 2017 and the Odometer was reported as 286,000 kilometres as at then . The mileage is quite scary but its a 2005 engine, though my car is 2006, but I guess the engine can also work for my 2006.

I am in a fix on what is a good buy for the 2006 vehicle. Kindly advise.

GAZZUZZ:


Only engines from USA and Canada have vintags on the engine and transmission.

2005/2006 is same engine.

Goodluck

P.s that's just 171,000miles

Milito:


Thanks for your response, really appreciate. I have checked another one but now confused on which to choose.

Please if you were in my shoes, which will you select based on the points below?

Option 1

2005 engine used by 3 previous owners as personal vehicle in Ontario
Much of the servicing history not shown
Reported mileage of 177,712 (mileage inconsistency was highlighted, though from my personal observation it was consistent from zero to 179,880 in July 2015)
Still in Canada early this year but eventual fate of the vehicle not known.

Option 2

2006 engine used by 2 previous owners as personal vehicle in Ohio
Very consistent servicing history shown on report by same garage from 2005 until 2nd owner took over in 2019.
Reported actual mileage of 209,381
Still in the US early this year, had accident in February, 2020 and was declared total loss by Insurance, was thereafter issued salvage title.

GAZZUZZ:


I would base my decisions on how they look on the inside, and if they have been tampered with.

Milito:


Ok then, thank you. To what extent can an engine be opened for assessment?

Kemi22:
Dear Gazzuz,

Thanks

GAZZUZZ:


you don't fix by removing. Pay more attention to your repairs.

I guess you do not have a Thermostat any more an your fans are wired directly.

Immediate consequences are higher than usual fuel consuption.

long term engine life span will be reduced greatly

Donphilex:
Good morning sir trust you and the family are good, thank you for the good work you’ve been doing here please I need your suggestions here as I’m in a confused state.
Which would you prefer in terms of durability and maintenance and why
Honda Accord 2008-2010 Or Toyota Camry sport 2008-2011 thanks for your input. Please note both would be Nigeria used and when I’m ready you’ll be the one to help me go inspection , but I just want to know which I should conclude on first .
