Madam do ur job, as soon as ur job is confirm good, money is not the problem.
Sorry sir, we don't work on credit but we do carry warranties. Bring part. Sebi labor na only 4k.

I have done my job. Given you an estimate. It's for you to accept, pay, bring part,make we do the work. Or if you want we can use our own part which is 66k to order with an 18 month warranty on the part, 90 day on the labor. http://weblink.carquest.com/acl/?mfgName=BWD&partNumber=23093

If you can't afford it I'm sure dru23 can help you import a cheaper one.

Lol. No problem. Thanks for the kind gesture. If it was allowed, I would have kept the one with a better spec and gave out the other. I don't need two.

CHALLENGE 10 IS LIVE!
As part of our plan to change the auto repair climate in Nigeria, the stigma of being "just a mechanic" has to change. With cars becoming more advanced and increasingly relying on computers, being a technician is actually a high skill, reputable job that pays well. It is not uncommon for our techs to take home 100-200k a month.

With that in mind, we once hosted a group of young ladies.
1) What was the name of the society we partnered with for this?
2) what was the name of the school the ladies were from?
3) what activities did they do?
4) what date did this happen?


Winner gets an NT210 scanner. Tyche said him no dey so GOOD LUCK!

Almost forgot it was challenge day!

Beng1234, the only other thing i can think of if your car is US made is they have kazeemized your car with an older version 2000-2003 that has the regulator INSIDE the fuel pump that I previously mentioned. If that's the case, then did they change just the pump (the piece circled in red) or the whole assembly? These questions probably pass you so you need to find your way to betta mechanic like Bishop. This is why I always warn about penny wise, pound foolish. Take your car to a reputable place for correct diagnosis, then get somewhere cheaper to fix it.

These are all the possible locations for it depending on which engine is in your car. Find it, you find your problem. A lot of mechanics there don't even know if it's existence SMH.

Bro you go school abi? Mama Rad was not wrong neither am I.

That Fuel Regulator is on the Fuel Container in the Gas tank. Just by the pump itself. Not as big as the picture you see

Beng1234:
Good afternoon, I have tried to send a mail but I don’t know why it’s not going through. I had the same starting issues this morning. A close by mechanic came and checked the plug, it was black. He serviced it and the car came on and remained on. I quickly showed him the photo you suggested yesterday. He said there’s nothing like that in my car, that it doesn’t come in all cars. He said the fault might be from my engine (I changed engine in July). E shock me sha. I had an appointment so I couldn’t even start arguing. @gauzzuzz, I also sent a mail, I dunno if you received.
Where are you finding all these mechanics? Where are you located? Is Bishop or someone we know not close to you? THE FAULT IS NOT IN YOUR ENGINE. Your car doesn't have a fuel regulator kwa huh

edit: additional question, is your car south african? if you don't know, post your VIN. second question, do you know if your enging is 1ZZ or 2ZZ?

1st symptom was the jerking; car jerks when u apply full pressure on the throttle. But it drives smooth when I pedal lightly.

2nd problem: car went off on its own without showing any sign. It was a rewire that brought it back on.

After some days, car went off in the night on fadeyi bridge after surging. When we roll the engine, it comes on and goes off immediately. Mechanic came the next day to scan, he said it was airflow meter (I shared the codes here). We checked the airflow meter, but it wasn’t faulty. He then checked the plugs and saw that they were all bad. He told me the injector mouth is what is killing the plug. He charged 10k to get 4 plugs (according to him, they are original plugs). The car came on finally after changing plugs, servicing nozzle, servicing injector mouth and changing pump and filter. I tot all my problems were gone but the jerking didn’t stop so I changed mechanic. Mechanic said the fuel pump I just changed (assumed tukunbo is bad) according to scanner. Naso I change fuel pump again. He checked the plugs and everything was blaccccck (we changed 4plugs again, this time for 6k) we changed o2 sensor (the one in front and under). After all this change, the car still jerk when pressure is applied, but it hasn’t gone off on its own. This is actually the first time I’m experiencing all this problems. I done tire. I feel I have been attending to the problem wrongly.

Currently, scanner is showing no error



I don’t really know much about cars but at least I know when my own isn’t doing fine because I have been using it.
So your plugs are black because it's still too much fuel from the pump for the sparks to burn off. Check the fuel pressure regulator under the hood. That's what you are looking for.

Please oooo. Make una suggest Wetin be the possible cause of what’s happening to me. I have spent close to 100k and the thing is still there. I did scanning and changed all what the scanner brought.
My car drives smooth but when even I apply plenty pressure on the accelerator, it jerks and acts like it wants to go off.

I have changed o2 sensor, fuel pump and filter 2x, serviced nozzle, serviced injector mouth, changed plugs, and other things the scanner brought out.

Has anyone experienced this before?
Your don't just start buying parts a scanner brings out!! One part can trigger 3 different codes attached to other parts! What was the original symptom of the car and what were the scanner codes you got?

Also, when you say the plugs are "gone", gone how? And what kind of plugs did you change?
