Hello Gazzuzz and other auto chiefs in the house. PLEASE, HELP ME OUTTA THIS SITUATION.

I bought a fairly-used Toyota Corolla 2006 model in June. Had no issues whatsoever until mid-July, I noticed my car jerks when accelerating. After a few days, I noticed it jerked when shifting gears. My mechanic has changed ATF, serviced the transmission, changed fuel pump, services fuel injectors, nozzles, cleaned everything cleanable...No change.

I decided to leave it be and ignore the jerks until a new one started - rough idling. The engine vibrates for a few seconds when idle and sometimes when accelerating. I went back to him and told him the jerks were also still there. A scan was placed there, the scanning guy said the brain box wasn't in order, he requested I change the brain box. Did that on Friday at Ladipo, drove down to my house at Agbado, engine still trembles while idle but jerks seemed to stop.

Just drove my car this evening and all the jerks have started again...

Please help!!! I've spent so much and tired of these mechanics.

It's better you request for the scan result whenever your vehicle is scanned. Can you retrieve the codes from the person that scanned the car?

Thanks for your response.

I guess that was my mistake. I was tired of it all and felt what will the scan device show that has not been changed already. And when he said the brain box is not sending signals to the solenoids, I said may be that's true.

I didn't get the codes. I will try to see how I can retrieve them.

quest118:
1) Where, how much can I get my car painted in Abuja at an affordable price and with a great, durable output?

I intend to spray it black but its currently a silver colour. It's an EOD. Is this easily achievable?

2) where can I tint my car windows and how much will it cost? Do I need a police permit for tinted windows?

Thanks for your suggestions.

You need police permit for tinted on there website they said even for Factor tint glass u still need permit

Great fellows good morning.
I want to renew my drivers licence in Abuja. What's the best/fastest and cheapest way to go about it?

Do you know anyone that can oven bake my EOD from sky blue to black, at a good price and with a durable paint?

My front bumper is cracked, is it possible to get a new/Belgium bumper in exchange for the old one (I'm ready to add some cash for the exchange)?

Go to VIO office in Mabushi with photocopies of your vehicle particulars, and some cash, I can't tell how much now, but it should not exceed 17,000 max. Meet the VIO officers in their office personally, don't patronize those 3rd party folks outside

call me, I have a painter that can assist. He's not cheap, but he's very very good at his work and he use genuine high quality products. 07034581213

I highly doubt, your best bet is to buy another bumper

Is there any place in lagos where they specialize in fixing Nissan vehicles only? My Nissan pathfinder has leg issues. It makes noise anytime am driving in rough road. So many mechanics has worked on it but the problem still persist. Someone should help with a link pls. Thanks
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by lyort: 12:22am On Sep 10, 2020
mind you, brainbox is the last thing to get damaged in any toyota, the simplicity of their electricals don't give room for such. most times mechanics dont trace wires from individual sockets up to the brainbox before they conclude that it is the brainbox that is bad. if you experience rough idle, check if you have blue smoke from the exhaust at higher rpm. if you notice a jerk (otherwise called limp) when your transmission shifts to a higher gear, its a gearbox problem and this usually happens when shifting from gear 1 to 2. if you experience poor acceleration, then your fuel supply into the engine ain't good enough...it means the injector is delivering fuel only enough for idling at a constant speed

On the npf website, it states that they only issue permit on factory tinted cars. Mine is not factory fitted, should I apply from the website? Will they approve?

Good day,

We are creating a group for Cab owners on the Telegram app. The purpose of the group is basically to leverage on each other's resources; like knowledge of the business, contacts of good mechanics and body shops, help each other with driver recruitment needs (rental or HP), car sale deals. etc but most importantly promote improvement, fairness, and share ideas...

By this act, we are multiplying our strengths so much so that even a newcomer in business won't have trouble starting because its a forum where he or she can ask questions...There is always an advantage in teamwork over working alone or in a smaller team. so if you are interested, chat me up on telegram so I can add you...

07020656762

have a great day

ps, the group is on the telegram app, if you don't have it you can download.
