I don't know if it's because I posted the VIN you requested.
Here is the part no. for the ECM
89611-48711(same as mine)
OR
89611-4812(heard this replaced above)

See if you can help me get it.
The sellers in the market said, they sale ECM by "code number".
Mine is 14.

I have a seller who said 13 will also work for the vehicle.
I've already ordered from eBay but it will take like 3weeks for delivery.
My cousin wants the vehicle back on the Road before eBay arrives....you know how it is with new car owners

The "code number" sellers use.
Difference between 14 and 13 is:
14 is for: L4, 4X4(2AZ)
13 is fo:L4,FWD(2AZ)

You are not insecure or over-reacting.
Any girl that is constantly exposed to any environment full of men will eventually get loose with some or one of them....be it in a school,in a bus, a market place,club..e.t.c
As time goes on she will start getting comfortable and craving the presence and attention from some members of the group or a member of the group.
Once this happens..she won't even know when she remove pant
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about this.... it's a natural flow.

The only way out is, you make yourself a member of that group she's constantly interacting with.

4 coils can't be bad and the vehicle still moves. Check the ground for the coils. It's imperative buyers scan cars before they buy. There are tips. Most dealers disconnect the battery of cars they sell. If you just connect the battery, start up and scan, chances of picking up a CEL if present will be very low. So drive the car around well or leave to steam for a very long time before scanning. Again don't depend on turning the igntion on to know if CEL and other lights appear momentarily. I heard there is a new connection they do. They connect CEL, VSC and airbag light to battery light. So all 3 work in synchrony with battery light so that when you turn on igntion, they all illuminate and go away after some seconds like there is no fault even when there is.

Thanks
It has been confirmed that the coils or wiring have nothing to with the problem.
The painful part is that the ECM of the vehicle is very scarce....almost impossible to get .

We have searched everywhere in Abuja and lagos without success.
I contacted sellers on every platform I know, sent someone to ladipo.
I had to order one from Ebay at last for $273
As for the dealers, A time will come when most people will order their vehicles themselves and they will be out of business.

Update:
In my quest to get a tokunbo PCM that will match the highlander I got one from a seller in Abuja.
When he brought it, I noticed that the part number didn't match.
I told him of my observation and he said it will work.

We plugged in the PCM and started the car...
Boom the rpm went up to red as I floored the gas pedal
I was thanking my stars and took the vehicle for a test drive.
I noticed that shifting from 3rd to 4th gear was not smooth.
I told the seller that I can't accept the ECU!...I was disappointed
He brought more ECUs with the same part number as the one we already tested in the vehicle...the story remained the same....shifting problem and CEL will disappear and come back later.
Also, I tried to scan the vehicle with my OBDII scanner but it won't communicate with d vehicle when the new PCM is connected to the vehicle.

Long story short...We are still in the market for PCM

promotervickky:
OP what you have been going through changing these parts I sense was done by the dealer who sold to your brother, the guy don change change tire! Finally he decided to cover the engine lights, I think the car is a lemon..a lot of people has worked on the Car before, best bet may be to change the engine.

Or it can be resolved by a good talented mechanic, it may come back again later!

OP, I just gave you a scope work with it or leave it, the money is still urs, (Flesh & Blood did not reveal this to me).

Thanks.
I never give up .
Stuff like these is piece of cake...it's been confirmed that the PCM needs to be replaced.
I've ordered one, will replace it tomorrow.
I have a large budget for the fix ,we die there
Las Las God no go shame us.

timifakay:
You inspected and tested same car without knowing CEL was covered, I think it will be better to stop this trial and error, then hand vehicle over to qualified and experienced tech.

What year was vehicle manufactured?
Have you Googled part number on all replaced/ suspected parts to be sure they are compatible with vehicle?

Thanks, I will take it to experienced person today.
Yes! I used part number for the parts replacement.
Like you rightly said, I am not a mechanic I only have knowledge on benz cars which I own.
It's almost impossible to manipulate benz vehicles like this without it been obvious....but this doesn't absolve me of blame.
Thanks for ur time sire.
I will update.

GAZZUZZ:
It is very possible you have an Engine Ecu problem.

But the fact that it ran smooth previously (pre purchase)

Means that the issues you currently surfaced after purchase.

You should look into the power source and grounding to the ignition coils.

I still do not believe the engine ecu is bad.

Ok thanks, I appreciate your time.
Will update

Djdannyb4u:
I have a 2005 Toyota Avensis and don't know if the odometer is calculated in miles or kilometers?
I tried using cars to calculate road distances as I usually see all those signs stating "100km to Lagos" but wen I start calculating the distance from that point, I get a different number.
So pls how are they calculated?

Most cars these days have both.
You should clearly see MPH/ KM/H or MPH and KM/h on the speed clock.

"When you see 100Km to lagos " it doesn't mean if you speed up your car to 100km/h you will be in lagos instantly.
It means the distance from where you saw the sign to lagos is 100km.
Let's assume you maintain a constant speed of 100Km/ h you will be in lagos in 1 hour.
100km is not same as 100km/h.

LeJeun3:


New units or Tokunbo??

Tokunbo sir.
The issue is,how can all 4 ignition coils go bad at the same time?
Even after changing them the scan is still reporting same problem.
I inspected the PCM myself, no visual damage or burnt smell ...can it be that it requires a software update?

GAZZUZZ:
Uncle it's the ignition coils that are bad. Replace all and engine will run fine

we've done that already....
problem persists

GAZZUZZ:
Daddy you need to be calming down.

List the issues first.

Ignition coil A primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil B primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil C primary/secondary circuit
Ignition coil D primary/secondary circuit

The mechanics have done the following:
Changed airflow sensor.
Changed throttle body
Changed throttle pedel.
Changed temperature sensor.
After all these, still the vehicle won't rev past 2000 rpm.

I told them to return all the parts they changed.
I called someone and he said the PCM needs to be replaced for the vehicle to work properly.

The CEL and VSC warning lights are permanently on all the time no matter how many times they tried to erase them.
I will be happy if you can give me a lead sire.

someone here swore for the person that sold him car with fake duty....and the dealers car lot got burnt

by virtue of that,I believe in the curses of ur cousin wrecking havoc

lol...i hope his curses will do damage to the dealer cos i am the one runing around now to get d vehicle fixed...
the guys working on it said the PCM will need to be replaced.

rationalmind:
Some of the lights (CEL inclusive) on the instrument cluster illuminates as you start the vehicle. Should have been obvious the CEL was blocked without dismantling the IC.

You are right.

Lexusgs430:
Once you attempt to start a vehicle, once you turn the key, certain warning lights must illuminate, and go off after a few seconds.........

Some lights would stay on, till you fully engage the engine...........

Faulty lights would remain afterwards...........

His fault for not doing his DD......... A small fee of 20K, would have saved him buying this lemon........ I would suggest you do a VIN check on the vehicle( make you kuku nail the final nail in this coffin).......

Yes, lights will show when starting a vehicle.
In this case not all the lights will illuminate.
The dealer only blocked the faulty lights, CEL and VSC.
ABS,OIL,BATT,TRANSMISSION, COOLANT..e.t.c were not blocked.


The VIN also checks out.

identitylenz:
very hmmable
that's really bad
what if it's so bad and it got out of hand and had lead to an accident
mtchew
that's evil

I can't believe people can be this evil

Ok.
Let me share my experience today.
My cousin bought a Toyota Highlander like 6 months ago.
I was very mad with his choice of brand cos I am a die hard Benz person..for me it's Benz or nothing.
He later brought the vehicle to receive my blessings.
After enough booze to celebrate his first car,I forgave him for going against my advice
I inspected the vehicle and everything was in place..it was neat and stable.
I congratulated him and wished him well.

After like a month he started to call me for one issue or the other about the vehicle.

I wanted to tell him...I told you so; but as senior man wey I be,I was always there for him.
The vehicle have been having various problems AC, suspension,loss of acceleration, bad plugs, ignition coils e.t.c

Today he called that the vehicle can't rev past 2000rpm, I asked him if the check engine light is showing and he said NO.
After my activities for the day, I took the highlander for a test drive and confirmed what he told me on phone.
I took it to a mechanic workshop and they plugged a scanner..the vehicle was having numerous problems yet the check engine light was not showing.

I told them something was wrong.
I told them to dismantle the intrustment cluster.
After the dismantling the instrument cluster, we discovered that the dealer he bought the vehicle from blocked the check light with cellophane and black insulation tape, preventing the check light and other fault lights from illuminating...I was furious.

This is just wickedness of the highest order.
How do people like these sleep in the night?
My cousin have been swearing for the dealer for 2 hrs straight on phone
I guess you have to dismantle instrument cluster (dashboard) these days before buying a vehicle in this country

It's a movie..

UDUJ:
Next time you want to buy anything from the US like electronics etc use Amazon. Shop from amazon and at check out pay for priority international express. Amazon will then send it through DHL or UPS. Once it arrives Nigeria DHL and UPS does the customs clearance for you, you don't pay a dime to Nigerian customs because it's already in the shipping fees you paid while shoppong at Amazon.com

This is what I always do whenever I shop from the US. And it takes an average of just 4 to 5 working days to get to me once its shipped from the US.

Nigerian customs are criminals and better avoided

Mr, stop saying what you don't know.
This is a lie.
You will pay custom duty even with DHL, UPS e.t.c.

djphish:
Baba you dey give me Joy here.. "and" is the problem I see now.. "or" means you're given me options to choose/select while and means adding more to the menu

I hope the joy he's giving you will reverse your lost bet.
You that should be calm and learn to avoid same mistake in the future.

MMempire:
Its a "or" not "and"
It simply implies one of the two outcomes and not both outcomes.

Oga he picked No...meaning there will be No draw or No clean Sheet.
The match ended in a draw, without any clean sheet for both teams.
Picking a NO means he disagreed with the market option.
Picking a YES means he agreed with the option, that there will be a draw or No clean sheet.
He lost...

That should be his intestine

You lost ...you should have selected yes.
No..... means there will be No draw or there will be NO clean sheet....in this case there was a draw and there was No clean sheet.

Nooooooooooooo....girls don finish for the other side?

I'll NEVER insult Tinubu no matter what, in front of his crooks. We all know their agenda


AsiwajuNdigbo writes..

People that call Ambode coward today were the same people that supported and hailed El Rufai when he said he knows how to remove godfather in Lagos. But when Rufai recently opened his cancerous mouth to say 2023 will go to SW these people blasted him and called him all names.
Their true enemy is Tinubu. Any that refuses to oppose Tinubu is in their black book. Anyone that blasts Tinubu is in their good book.
I look all around Nigeria, my people are in every state. Igbo has been in Northern Nigeria much much earlier before we knew Western Nigeria. Yet there has not been any single record of an Igbo man being elected into political office or even nominated into a cabinet in North. In Lagos on the other hand we have continued to enjoy the benefits of democracy under same Tinubu, and our losses in some areas is result of our own irresponsibility and not because the system or Lagos godfather hates us.
If godfatherism in Lagos has benefited us in the most wealthy and most economically advanced state in West Africa, doesnt it make sense to support what advances our entrepreneurship and political ascent? I was born in Lagos and in the Igbo circle in Lagos, there are people who are fed up and disgusted with our style of political culture. I support them and im in that mold myself.
There is no president of Nigeria who has been as democratic and favorable to Igbo as Obasanjo did. Obasanjo is a godfather. Obasanjo made people like NOI, Soludo, Ihejirika, Ekwezisili and many more. Yet we are the loudest anti-godfatherism.
Even in North, where we have never gained any political benefit but have suffered the greatest social and cultural calamity, nobody even becomes a commissioner without godfatherism. My people love Kwankwaso but forget the man is a godfather. We love Atiku but forget Atiku is a godfather.
So my brother, those hating on Ambode are venting that he failed to fight against Tinubu when he had the chance. Obasanjo fought Tinubu, yet we still hate Obasanjo. The same Obaseki we are hailing, he went to Lagos to seek godfather support. He didnt get it. Akeredolu in Ondo, our inlaw, he fought Tinubu to become governor but has returned to Tinubu and godfather to seek reelection.
No Igboman living can swear on his chi and claim godfatherism in Yoruba people, particularly Obasanjo and Tinubu has not earned us advancement in Yprubaland and in Nigeria generally.
I want my people to know that the example of our progress and inclusion in Lagos and Yorubaland is a model that the Hausa/Fulani has copied and used to integrate our brothers in North. When was last time we hear of riot against Igbo in North? They have seen how our inclusion in Yorubaland pays off economically and they are modelling that to improve their local economy as well.
Godfatherism helps Igbo business and politics. My people should open their eyes and learn. Let Edo carry their load and fight Tinubu themselves. Edo no be Lagos no concern us. Lagos na our bread and butter, we must not ruin it. End to godfatherism will destroy business for us, let us condemn those that oppose godfatherism in Lagos.
Our leaders in Lagos have seen the light and theyve been drumming the beat, if you cant beat Tinubu in Lagos, join Tinubu to bring dividends of godfatherism to Igbo commerce and politics.

I've read this your post like 5 times and I am yet to find the sense in it .
Can you kindly point out where you made any sense in this long post?

Man is going his own way, you wrote he was disappointed, are you in his head?

Haba bros, when u see someone deflected, dejected and demoralised you will know na.

Some may commit suicide.

Some of us saw the Hand of God on Obaseki and the support he enjoys from Edolites long ago.
Nothing can make him not to be declared winner.

The decayed teeth drug baron and one orangutan thought they can play God....look how they are shamed by the people; who truly should decide who governs them.

Special thanks to Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike CON, the executive Governor of Rivers state for saying NO to intimidation and standing like a man when it mattered most....The APC Annihilator
God bless you sir.

If we are to tell ourselves the truth APC should not get up to 5% of votes cast anywhere in the country...look how they brought suffering, kidnapping and killing of Nigerians with no end in sight.
We all say NO to sugar coated unrealistic empty promises.
This is how it will be for the decayed teeth drug baron that is playing God in Lagos when his time comes...We pray for MEN like Wike and Obaseki to rise in the region.
We should learn one or two life lessons from all these events unfolding....if you have the will, you can do it.
Congratulations to Edolites, you make us proud.

You are already there
You only came here to get approval for what you already made up ur mind to do.

You know the guy will chop and run yet you are falling and tumbling for him...what's ur problem.
If you really mean what u typed here then cut every ties with d guy, if it's touching that u want tell ur boyfriend he has hands.

pricy007:
I can get the point sir, it's not about him getting little profit off it, the same engineer who's handling the project I make him get most things just to let him know all I want is good job done with no error then I make my self do little supervision when I can because I'm a busy type, but my fear is that what of the carpenter getting that same 0.44mm instead of 0.55mm simple because I won't know the difference and this same man told me as at yesterday that 0.55mm step tiles aluminum is N2,600 per square meter and when we called they said it's N2,200. For Example If we are to use 300 square meters multiply by N400 that mean he's getting N120,000 off me excluding his workmanship, don't you think that's outrageous from a hustling man looking up to God

I agree with you the amount is much.
You can tell your Engineer to get another Carpenter or tell him you will get a carpenter yourself....this will put them(that's if he's conniving with d Engineer) on their toes.
You can also buy an instrument called caliper...take it to the company, measure the sheets they are selling to you.
If you have the time.
