TravelRe: Studying In Finland (free Tuition) by ReformerD: 12:26pm On Sep 18, 2025
Good day. I’d like to start my admission process into a university or vocational school in Finland. Which do you think would be the best option for a family of three? Also, is there a community I can join to get first-hand information about it?

Try this. Turn on the ignition without starting the car and leave it in that position for 5 seconds then start. If it starts fine without delay, then you'll need to change your entire fuel pump assembly.
The car is push to start , how can I do that please

Please, what could probably cause occasional hard starts on a Hyundai Sonata? If I start the car in the morning, it runs fine. However, when I park and try to restart it after a while, it has a hard start. If I switch off the car and restart it, the car runs fine again, and there's no engine light code on the car. The mechanic advised me to keep using it until the problem shows itself. Also, the car runs fine.

"Good day! My Kia Optima's recommended oil type is 5w-30, and I've been using Mobil 1. However, after rebuilding the engine, my mechanic suggests switching to Visco 2000 due to Nigeria's temperatures. He mentioned that the Mobil 1 oil is too light in texture. Should I stick to Mobil 1 5w-30, or is it advisable to follow his recommendation and switch to Visco oil?"

That's because your car is running rich and flooding the combustion chamber with petrol.
Remote diagnosis would be difficult. If in Lagos, kindly call 07089030689 for further diagnosis.
I'm in kwara state, can I call you still,?

Your mechanic needs to check the timing again and be sure it's correct.
You also have a turbo charger boost circuit code, so you might need to check the electrical side of your turbo charger.
I believe when you get those 2 right, it will resolve your rich mixture code.
You're technician will need more than just scan codes here. He needs to know what parameter triggers those codes from the freeze frame and work more with live data stream for direction.
They've checked the timing , in fact the car sound is okay, the only issues is the accelerating part, if you don't hard press the accelerating pedal, you won't have issues, but the moment you hit hard the accelerating pedal, it will stop responding

My Kia Optima Turbo GDI has recently developed a knocking sound. I took it to a mechanic for inspection, and it was confirmed that the filter leading to the cylinder was blocked. Consequently, I had the cylinder and camshaft replaced. However, since then, my car has not been functioning properly. It can't accelerate beyond 40, and I have to turn off the car and restart it to get it moving again. Additionally, if I go beyond 30, the car stops. The car has been scanned, and the turbo has been checked. I was told the turbo is okay, but the car still won't accelerate beyond that limit. This issue has persisted for the past week.

Those are code that came out when the car was scanned, the readjust the timing and fix the turbo but still the same thing

changing the cylinder and the camshaft, I received the check engine error code P0605, which indicates an Internal Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) Error. Since then, whenever I accelerate my car, the throttle stops working. I have to switch the car off and on again for it to return to normal. And the car RPM do fluentuate at idle too and the rewire and the mechanic seems not to know what to do about it

The car is kia optima 2013 gdi turbo

Avoid such mechanics. A Kia optima 2023 I believe is bought brand new here in Nigeria and should still be under warranty. Why taking it to a 3rd party to fix?

This is an extremely expensive gamble!!!
So, I took it to a profession gear workshop, I was told they'll service the valve body and everything will be okay

How did he now remove the radiator for repairs if he didn't disconnect and plug the transmission lines?
Kindly check if there are any hose dangling and not connected to the transmission and or radiator.
What year is your Optima?
Does it have a dip stick?
He admitted the error might be from him , kia optima 2023
Car TalkRe: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by ReformerD: 8:28am On Jul 05, 2023
jceesquare:
Did he drain the transmission oil when removing the radiator or he blocked the transmission line with a plug?

If he drained then refill, probably he might have contaminated the system in the process. Same with using a dirty plug on the transmission line.
What codes did he get when it was scanned?
Not sure, he did any of that to be honest
