This days I hardly see post in any social media without quarrel, sentiment, tribalism, regionalism, religious bigotry n many more. How can we grow with these negative thoughts. I see no unity among us, d only thing that unites us is d name Nigeria, probably football n nothing more. D true change we want can begin with u and I. God bless Nigeria

GAZZUZZ:
excellent write up. Meanwhile this is a good time to ditch those V8's and cling on to a 1.3liter.

FRSC officials have already started cautioning people with expired tyres (they started at the beginning of the year). They are at Osborne Road every morning, checking for expired tyres. So, it's either people buy new tyres or they adopt a "nigerian solution" (some people use blades to remove the date of manufacture from their tyres, while others bribe the officials).

shevchenko:
I meant a car is moving how do you knue they have old tires? So they stop them ?

shevchenko:
So how do you know a set of tires are old?

Tyre production dates. Every tyre expires 4 years after production in nija

They have grades. First you need to find out the type your uses. U might need just 2.depends on ur Engine. For how much ,I can't tell you. As I don't sell parts. But b4 U buy new ones check if the Old ones are bad.

erico2k2:
Bro U see my first post up there that's the full Narative of the codes you posted. It's by no means a solution rather is a direct pointer to what you should look at and parts that needs attention .Now what you or you mechanic should look at is the most serious fault codes.I know you got fuel issues but is that the worse?So check the worse code sort that. And it would be a good idea to change ur O2 sensors if the ones on your car are the ones that came with it.I changed the 4 on my car jan this year when I was in 9ja.plz chk we dnt want ur car to knock engine biko.

MPVGoddess:
From personal experience, get someone to test your oxygen sensor circuits, and if they are ok, replace the oxygen sensors ASAP.

But from the first post made by erico2k2, the wiring of your oxygen sensors are bad.

It says shorted, in plain english, it means that wires that should not touch are touching, causing current/signals to go through unintended paths.

This singular act, fixing the oxygen sensor wiring and then if the oxygen sensors themselves are bad, replacing them will do so much to reduce your fuel consumption esp if they are the front oxygen sensors that control fuel air mixture, I have not determined that for you. On the other hand, if it is not the front oxygen sensor but the rear which control the exhaust then you will not have the same effect. My assumption without attempting to prove otherwise, is that it is your front oxygen sensors that are bad.

The next thing to look at, but some may say that is actually the first thing to have looked at is the below:
- Intake air leaks
- Exhaust gas leaks

These have been known to throw off the air/fuel ratio so much that the problem you are complaining of would come to be. You need a mechanic that can do mechanical analysis in combination with computer based diagnosis, because only then, will he not tell you it runs and drives, but will do all the checks necessary to ensure that your system is running at its optimum. This cannot be done without doing certain mechanical checks, clearing codes, test driving, and if the codes still appear doing further testing until the intake air/exhaust gas leaks are eliminated. erico2k2 recommended a smoke test, even YouTube can teach you to do that, since i am not sure of your electrical troubleshooting skills, so why not begin here?


This is why cocoduck spoke of live data, live data is obtained from computer based code readers. Hence my suggestion to get someone who is adept at both types of diagnosis. Or if you are mechanically minded and an avid learner and have the time, you could use your vehicle as a learning ground.

Next, or in concert with the above, face the issue of the faulty fuel injectors; the fuel tank temperature sensor and the knock sensor as well as the Crankshaft Position Or Camshaft Position Sensor Input Signal Error

and give us feedback on how it went

kingreign:
What type of car is this? I mean the manufacturer name, model, year of manufacture, engine and drive type.

Also where is your location?

GAZZUZZ:
I'm so sorry sir, I didn't read your profile name previously. You are right.

Viccur:
Lai Lai. I trust my G.

Burger01:
Hell must cold for that to happen.

cocoduck:
I explained it in the conversation between me an Xavier, the post is up above
