Good evening

My Toyota Camry 2007 popped the following code

Code: P2017

Mt symptoms were

Poor Acceleration
Stalling
Engine Vibration while idle
Diminished engine performance

On further investigation, I realized that the problem is from the Intake Manifold Runner Valve Controller
I learnt that the Intake Manifold Valve Controller controls the opening and closing of the valves, however, the position sensor which detects if the valves are open or closed seems to have a short circuit so it cannot perform its functions properly, therefore the valves are perpetually open

I have watched videos were the Intake Manifold Runner Valve Controller was replaced on a Dodge on youtube, however, I have not seen one done for a Toyota Camry hence my question, can I replace the Intake Manifold Runner Valve Controller on a Toyota or I have to replace the whole Intake Manifold Runner Valve Assemble

I have attached pictures for a clearer view

Your reply is highly anticipated

Story.

I have removed it in one of my vehicles. Fuel economy has improved, gained 1mpg. Engine is not overheating and the vehicle is not experiencing any loss of power. The only thing I agree with is a louder exhaust note but who cares?

I even prefer the new exhaust note especially on startup

the catalyst main job is to improve the quality of air coming out of the exhaust, don't mind that guy

Good morning Wonderful Gurus in the house

I made a complaint initially about my car having multiple transmission codes and was still driving fine which surprised Gazzuzz, I later found out that my car used a Hybrid Engine which was changed to a normal 2.4l engine, however that is a story for another day

My question is that my car has been idling roughly and hesitation, I scanned the car and found the culprit, the Upstream and Downstream Oxygen Sensor Heater circuit was blown, after some research, I found out that the function of the Upstream oxygen sensor is to communicate with the ECM on the Air-Fuel ratio, while the downstream Sensor check the gases that come out of the Catalytic Converter to ensure it is working fine

I have changed the Upstream oxygen sensor and everything seems back to normal, however, I want to ask if it is mandatory I also change the Downstream Oxygen Sensor?

My Car is a Toyota Camry 2007

Codes
P0031 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
P0037 - H02S2 Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

No be only story. Na phoney. Continue to dey deceive yourself there.

By the way, I hope the suicidal thoughts no dey bother you again o and that the depression no dey too hard you again. Mr ‘I grew up abroad but I became a failure in life because my father brought us back to Naija’

Who you dey call idiot? . Make I just ignore that misyearns from you for now. I no wan be the cause of further depression and suicidal thoughts from a 40 year old man wey dey blame him papa for his failures in life

Take it, easy bro, life is not all squabbles and fights all the time, I know you may not be like this is real life, you may be using this forum for your alter ego

As they say, give a man a mask, then you will see his true nature

Lazyyouth4u:
No they are not. It clearly states that they are not. Do you work for them?

Chief, Risevest is registered, I checked them up previously, but I used the wrong code

They may not be the best, but they are doing a good job and very transparent in their dealing

Please use a Non-biased mind to judge them, you can join their telegram group and monitor them while asking relevant questions

Thanks
Rich Forever

Lazyyouth4u:
I looked them up and their site says they are registered with the US SEC as they deal in US securities. I haven’t verified this on the US SEC’s website o but their registration number is on their site.

It also says that they have a Lagos State Co-operative license and that under this license Lagos State government audits their operations. Again, I haven’t verified this o but the license number is on their site.

To be very frank, there are two issues that I have with them.

1. These returns they are offering are clearly unrealistic. The best US fund managers are not making returns anywhere near these. Especially for fixed income and real estate. It is clearly high risk.

2. Looking at the guys behind it, I’m not convinced that they have the experience to handle retail funds. These are just some young chaps with little/no experience in investing huge sums of money. That’s a red flag.

While I have my reservations, you just never know. They may end up doing very well...

I, however, took the time to look them up SEC website, the below screenshot is what I found

These are their real official rates

Eurobond:10–12% Guaranteed low risk investment
US Real estate: 13–15% Mid risk investment (not capped) last year recorded 17%
US Stocks: 12–14% High risk investment (not capped) last year recorded 23%

Almost 90% of the Fintechs Springing up now are owned by Young Chaps, as against the Old Chaps who are basically running Brick and Mortar Banks

Can you verify the US SEC and Lagos State Co-operative license?

I make some investigation into the Eurobonds and Real Estate

emmanuelewumi:
A supposed fund manager with numerous funds in money market, REIT, Eurobond, fixed income can't have just one Trustee. Each fund will have different Trustees. Depending on size of the fund, you can even have 2 Trustees. United Capital Trustee and FBN Quest Trustee are the Trustees to the Real Estate Investment Trust of UPDC, where rental income of almost N2.5 billion is distributed among 2000 investors every year, property and liquid cash worth N30 billion are honestly managed with the supervision of SEC for the investors


Anybody can open a trust account with a Trustee to ensure your children, family, you, business partners are not cheated or they cheat you, that doesn't make the arrangement SEC compliant.

Good morning and thanks for that eye-opener, I REALLY appreciate

I think they are leveraging on the Trustees of ARM Holding Limited and all other resources and processes they take

Please note that their 3 offerings are

Fixed Income (Dollar): 12 months at 12%
Real Estate (Dollar): 12 months at 17%
Stock (Dollar): High risk, returned 27% last year

Please note that account transfers are received with Providus Bank

emmanuelewumi:
This is simple English comprehension.

I listed their company names, the names of their subsidiaries and names of their different Investment products.

SEC is not aware of any of them and the products.

Apart from registering with SEC as a fund manager, your investement products must be registered and regulated by SEC. SEC denied knowledge of all these.

Please be guided.

If possible share the names of their trustees and fund managers, so that I can also confirm their status and roles in the Investments

Kindly check my reply. I mentioned ARM Holdings

emmanuelewumi:
This is the reply, I got from SEC when I wrote the to explain the status of Risevest to me.

Please be guided

Good evening, thanks for sharing the result

However, I will like to inform you that RISE is not directly registered with SEC, but have trustees who do

This is the same route that companies like piggyve.s.t, Cowr.y.rise and most Fintech takes

ARM Holdings Limited monitors and maintains our investments for them, I think you should be making enquiries from them

NB: They never claimed they are directly registered with SEC

emmanuelewumi:
Wrote SEC about them last week, I hope to get a reply from them after the holidays

Great!!! Please do share your finding

Lazyyouth4u:
For busy risk averse people that would rather focus on their jobs and real life hustle, the money market/fixed income market is just more straightforward and can be done by anyone. Simply put your money in Tbills, bonds, etc and continue your hustle.

Unfortunately, the rates don crash so risk averse people must enter equities market to get better returns. But these returns come at the expense of one’s time and high stress levels. The manipulations at some companies and those by the speculators and big boys is enough to give man pikin heart attack. Is it worth it?

Personally, for equities (my preference is foreign equities sha), I think investing indirectly through solid mutual funds and letting the fund managers deal with all the wahala of diversification, monitoring and rebalancing is more efficient for busy folks. I will gladly pay the management fees and avoid dealing with all the wahala.

My opinion...

This is exactly what I am doing with the Rise Platform

Previously, I used to wonder why Lazyyouth4u insults Ahib and I was displeased with it, but on further investigation, I realised that Ahibeven with his wealth of knowledge behaves like the regular Nairaland teenager, talking like a child, making comments without thinking and replying every tom dick and harry, sometimes he instigates Lazyyouth4u by insulting him without provocation, so he deserves it all, and I can categorically say that he is as Audio as he can get, he no Billionaire, not even close

He will respond to me by asking me if I am his accountant that has made valuations of his many trucks and may throw one or two insults..... SMH

I have never seen a 'Billionaire' that has the time to be exchanges words in such a manner with someone on a Faceless Forum

Imagine Dangote, having the time to prove on a Faceless Forum how he has this and that, real Billionaires do not do this

In my personal opinion based in facts I have seen so far, that guy is as Audio as it can get

However, I acknowledge the business and investment contributions he makes

dicksonadams:
Then problem solved

Thank you deeply for your response, you mean the problem is solved already, or the problem will be solved after I service the transmission

Personal inspection of the fluid signifies that it needs change

GAZZUZZ:
This matter pass fluid own. Don't bother with fluids. This codes are impossible, you have almost every possible transmission fault illuminated

However I am not experiencing any transmission malfunction, it shifts properly, the reverse gear also works perfectly, my mechanic advised I service the transmission

I also did a look up on most of the codes and most of them say an oil and oil filter change will solve the issue

Thanks for your help

GAZZUZZ:
Too many codes. Clear all codes, drive for about 1hr and rescan

Please see attached pictures of a smear of the transmission fluid, on inspection fluid does not have materials in it, it still has a dark pinkish colour as it is not totally black

Thanks for all the good work GAZZUZ

GAZZUZZ:
Too many codes. Clear all codes, drive for about 1hr and rescan

Good afternoon I cleared the codes and scanned again, the engine misfires have been resolved by changing the ignition coil for cylinder 2,

However it seems there are lot of transmission code, which I feel a transmission service will solve, however, I want to be very cautious with this as I am aware that a transmission flush may damage the transmission, what do you suggest the approach should be

P0031 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
P0037 - H02S2 Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
P0713 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input
P0748 - Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Electrical
P0778 - Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical
P0798 - Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical
P2716 - Pressure Control Solenoid "" Electrical
P0793 - Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No signal
P0983 - Shift Solenoid “D” Control Circuit High
P0986 - Shift Solenoid “E” Control Circuit High
P2017 - Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High Bank
P2610 - ECM/PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance
P2770 - Torque Converter Clutch Circuit High

Thanks for your response

What is the car year and model

It is a Toyota Camry 2007

Hello Gazzuzz and other Gurus in the house

The other day I complained of how a kazeem serviced my car and the engine refused to start

Another mechanic came and checked the car, he changed the coil and sealed the intake manifold with gum, it now moves now, albeit not very efficient as I know it still needs some work to be done, and I think I need a professional that will fix all the issues for me

I scanned the car and it brought out the following errors

P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0031 - HO2S Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 1)
P0037 - H02S2 Heater Control Circuit Low (Bank 1, Sensor 2)
P0713 - Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input
P0748 - Pressure Control Solenoid "A" Electrical
P0778 - Pressure Control Solenoid "B" Electrical
P0798 - Pressure Control Solenoid "C" Electrical
P2716 - Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Electrical
P0793 - Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No signal
P0983 - Shift Solenoid “D” Control Circuit High
P0986 - Shift Solenoid “E” Control Circuit High
P2017 - Intake Manifold Runner Position Sensor/Switch Circuit High Bank
P2610 - ECM/PCM Internal Engine Off Timer Performance
P2770 - Torque Converter Clutch Circuit High

Please advice accordingly

Hello GAZZUZZ,

Thanks for your recommendation the other day,

I finally changed my engine oil and spark plus, it was done by a Kazeem

However, after he made the change, the car has not been the same, it refuses to start most of the time, even when it starts, it moves a few centimetres and stops and does not accelerate properly most of the time, I am so furious with this Kazeem because I just bought the car and have been using it for weeks without any single problems until he came to change the spark plugs and oil, I called him immediately and when he came, he was asking for 5000 to change the fuel pump, I had to order him out of my compound, I am looking to go DIY for now

Please what do you think the problem is

Maybe he didn't change the Spark Plug properly (please consider the fact that the car was working properly before the fool came to change the spark plugs) or the fuel pump is actually bad, where do I start this investigation from

Your suggestion will be appreciated

GAZZUZZ:
If you do not have the engines oil change history. Safest thing to do is 20w50 . Total quarts 5000 is a good brand. 2000miles is safe oil drain interval for that oil type

Thanks for your response, please attached is the image of the oil you are recommending, will buying just one 4L be enough or do I have to buy two?

Thanks again for your kind gesture

GAZZUZZ:
What engine size?

It is a Toyota 2.7-liter engine, someone recommended I use Total Quartz 5000

Here is some more info I found about the engine

Engine oil weight 0W-20 (5W-20)
Engine oil capacity, liter 5.8 (6.1 qt)
Oil change interval, mile 6,000 (10,000 km) or 12 month

Thanks for your response

sirleke:
continue with the "last* used on d vehicle if Nigerian used

The thing, I don't which was the last used, can I get a recommendation on the best oil to use, what if the last use was not proper oil

GAZZUZZ:
What did you buy?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Camry_(XV40)

Toks or reg? Service history?

It is Registered

2007 Toyota Camry

I don't know the service history, but I want to change the Oil, please provide an oil reccommendation

Good evening everyone, I just got a Toyota Camry based on suggestions in this group of the easy maintenance

I will like to completely change the oil because the one there is turning black

What is the recommended oil for a Toyota Camry 2007, how much is it and where can I find the original

Thanks all for your response, you guys are doing a good job

Does he have the C/O of the Land

Lazyyouth4u:
On Naira bonds? Very unlikely. Worst case they will just over tax Nigerians and print more money. I would be more worried about how inflation and devaluation will eat into the returns and principal.

Oga Emmanuel what are your thoughts?

Thanks for your response

[quote author=Lazyyouth4u post=96499782][/quote]Good evening, do you think there is a possibility that the Government can default on Bonds issued in previous years?

BenzOrTrek:
I used piggyvest to accumulate 5m so far [piggy vet goals]. I'm thinking of using the safelock to lock 5m for 1 year, the interest is decent and paid upfront.

My only fear is what if they run out of business? lol

Good fear, but it is unlikely, they are just like your regular mutual fund, and they are in partnership with AIICO Capitals, they are not the only investment App following the same procedure, we have a lot like C0wryrise, Cashb0x, Wealthng to mention a few
