I have an Hyundai Elantra 2008. The acceleration is not proportional to its speed. When you accelerate, the car drags and never goes above 80km/h. At a point you'd hear a cranking sound from the engine.
Yes there's enough oil as it was serviced about 3weeks ago. Please what is the issue with it. Help a bro.

Felicity001:
Haha...baba you kill it! Nothing left to b done.
Mechanics are just reaping us off they all don’t have a conscience. I don’t blame them after all it last we the ignorant once I blame.

Like our Aunty wey dey charge 10k to change just a shock or 5k/hr I really don’t know y someone should charge outrageously just for a simple service all in the name of expertise. Las las they still don’t solve the problem.

Anyways, man must whak!
But shouldn’t be at the expense of your neighbor’s comfort.

Hello sir, have issues with my Honda civic automatic 2003 model. I discover that the D light on the dashboard blinks and due to this whenever the car finds it difficult to accelerate on hilly place and taking off when there is need for me to stop seems difficult as u have to accelerate hard.
Wnt to scan the car and the rewire man who is good too said from the readings, the TPS (Throttle position sensor) has gone bad. I just wondered if the reason for the D blinking was due to fault in TPS?
Try reading on TPS online and its faulty symptoms but know saw D blinking as part of the D light blinking as part of the symptoms of faulty TPS . pls need advice

Some people see DIY as being stingy but may be because of my engineering orientation, I always want to try troubleshoot on my own before I take it to technicians.

I remember one lady I picked from Cubana VI around 11:30pm one of those nights. She was going to somewhere around Palmgrove-Onipanu area. I started the trip and saw her destination. I loaded Google maps and we were on our way.

...

Both of us soon calmed down after shouting at each other back and forth. Last last, Google maps got us to her destination.

I'm sure she would have rated me 3 stars or less.

This man seems like an accountant, he's not going to pay such amount. Why do you feel I should drive this man? Is it because I said he helped the guy paid his weekly remittance twice? I should add that it wasn't for free , he was going to work for it.

Update on this.

All thanks to google, I was able to find out that one of my coils was damaged.

Guys, oyibo people are too much oo. I saw a video where a white mechanic was saying I should be removing all the coils one by one. If the engine should not change in sound as I removed any... Then that one is bad!

I did and voila... one of them did not make the engine change sound as I unplugged it. Straight to Jakande I went and bought a tokumboh coil for 4,000 naira only. I followed the instruction on the video and changed it well. I swear to God that my car is now in top shape again

This was something my Mechanic billed me 10k to do

There is no big deal I swear. Just use a bolt screw and unlock the engine cover. Its pretty easy.

When I was done, I noticed that the check engine light was still showing. I went back to that mechanic and he said that I should pay 4,000 to scan and wipe it

I googled again and the white man in a video said I should disconnect one of the battery terminal and plug it back in after 5 minutes. I folllowed it again and voila.... Check engine light is gone

God bless White people

I asked @AutoMoTech...

... reason for putting the question forward is simply to avoid a likely "known-for" (or if you like "part-&-parcel" ) problem that some car owners allow their car to live with.

This discussion may interest you: https://community.cartalk.com/t/conversion-form-power-steering-to-manual-steering/107919

I just thought it wise to get as much knowledge as possible before choosing between
1. Repair/improvising follow come
2. Buying toks to replace.

And
... I have used the services of some "reputable" Mechanics who failed to deliver at times.

Thank you very much to all contributors!

Please brothers I have a quick question and a friend suggested I bring it here.

Please my Toyota Camry started shaking suddenly yesterday and the check engine light came on.

When I opened the bonnet, I found out that the engine is shaking horribly.

What could be the cause please?

cc Izzou Radautoworks and other Camry drivers.

amdman:
Thank you for your suggestion. The challenge we foresee with that is that people will continue to post requests here. If we respond, it defeats the purpose of the new thread... if we don’t, another problem.

iomoge2:
I have a question
My tire ran out of air
I used spare n on getting to the wheel balancing man. He showed me two nails had punctured my tires
He billed me 1k per nail to remove n fix
Then 1000 to pump all 4 tires to standard size of 45

My question is I fell cheated
Do they charge per nail?
To pump tire used to be 50naira why did he charge me 250each
Pls note that I haven’t done this in a while n husbandman is not reachable on phone.

I’ve ran a lot of Kuhmos over the years in the USA. Excellent lower priced tires.

This was in the USA where standards are set and products tested.

I love Kuhmos.

Hello madam Radautoworks, I begio a yaff come again, after parking my car {Pontiac vibe 05} for about a week of no use due to the holiday, I noticed the rpm of my car went up and down briefly while driving on third mainland bridge and I had the feeling as if I was going over a bump.

On day two I had same feeling of going up a bump, rpm seems to rise and drop brief , but this time the car slowed down and stop on third mainland bridge after 15min of driving {scary experience}, I had to push it to the road side. Funny things was no check engine Light and no error code when I scanned it. The gear stick was stucked at park, had to unlock it to neural manually {pin beside the gear) so I can push it off the road.



My kazeem say oga oti misfire niyen abi fuel pump ti baje.

Please kindly advice.

NOW, LET ME TALK ABOUT ME, "ÏŽŹÖÙ, AN UBER DRIVER

I switch on my app, and a request enters

Me:Hello, good morning. It's the uber you ordered
Rider: Oga where are you? Follow your map immediately. I'm waiting
Me: Sir/Ma, at least you should respond to my greetings before dishing out orders
Rider: I don't have time for this. Okay Good morning sir. Be fast Abeg. I'm late
Me: I ...will never pay. After my first bad experience, I swore never to return any item. Even if I see a Rolls Royce Wraith key in my car, I'm flinging it outta my window


This is me, and this is how I survive everyday [/color]

@radautoworks..when do you open shop this year? When on thursday said you were still closed for the year

Felicity001:
Ma’am you won’t blame us oh it’s the situation of the country that tailored us to be like that. The person I’m even trying to assist with this information believe me I don’t know him and never have I meet him but we belong to same group on Ocar WhatsApp group.

The guy in question is married with kids and he’s in a HP and he’s finding it very difficult to meet up with just taxify baring in mind Ocar is not meeting up to drivers expectations. I just pitied him and promised to assist him by ranking my head and asking people with better experience than I.

So don’t blame us blame the system which is cause by our leaders.
