Please speak further on the bolded
Let me help here. Anything can be solar powered, depending on your solar power setup(battery, solar panel and inverter capacities).

It may not be economically viable though, cos the 3hp compressors on the setup in this thread, are non inverters, and just like what you would say of the comparison between a 4/6 cylinder engines, the 6 cylinder, would sure expend more operating costs, than a 4 cylinder. So, running a unit that is non Inverter, on a renewable energy like solar power, would cost you more.

You could try running a solar concurrently with the grid.

Hope this helps.

Greetings to all Auto experts here.
My 2AZ Engine is shorting oil and there is sign of oil in the radiator. Looking at the cost of replacing the engine, should I rebuild the engine and if I rebuild, will it last long?

Please advise me.
To replace or repair, is dependent on your pocket na haba.

TemmyDayo50:
Hello bosses. Good day.

Please I use a Nissan Altima 2008 2.5s.

I recently just changed the car's engine cos the previous one got knocked. Since I changed th engine, I've not enjoyed the car at all. The first issue was the car not revving at all which was partially fixed by the mechanic by replacing the injector mouth( throttle body). After replacement, same issue occured until a rewire checked it out and the car started revving. Also to mention, the car on idle is high around 1300-1500 rpm. It also doesn't start once in the morning until after like 3 to 4 times.

Now the main issue I'm facing is this. Once I engage the gear, the car looses power and accelerates very sluggish and once I put the car back to Neutral or Park, it doesn't rev well and the raising is sluggish. But once I switch off the car and ON again, the car revs well, once i engage gear, it looses power again even when returned to neutral or Park. Please Help
Scan the car first

@josephsm823.
What? Replace engine? Do not think it has gotten to that stage yet though. How will you consider that? Looks like you got some cash dude.

Sort out the camshaft issues, and you are good to go.

There is nothing bad overhauling an engine. If you get a competent technician, Tey should be able to help you with things like these.
For me, I prefer to rebuild engines, then buying those used engines here. Those engines are just a risk. You do not know the history of such engines, but you are told "na grade one oga, we give you 20 years guarantee blabla"

Originality007:
Thank you Mr Joseph, for ur response.

The car is Nigerian use. I bought the car last yr April from someone. I don't really know if person has modified the compressor or not. Even if the person has worked on the engine b4. The mechanic that went with for the inspection b4 buying the car told me , the Engine has never being worked upon b4.
The car has always being shaken right from wen I bought it, wen mechanic say it is a minor thing that I just need to change the engine seat and change the coils. After changing it, the shaking still persist anytime I on the car and put it in gear, it will b shaken. But then The car doesn't turn off wen I on the AC even wen am in the traffic, but suddenly it begin to happen.

I told my mechanic he said I should b using it like that, that very soon the car will set itself. But am not comfortable with it. That is y I put on the nairaland here, if someone can help me out
Absolute bullshit from your mechanic. How will such readjust itself? Guy is shting away from diagnosing the root cause of the problem.
Car TalkRe: My Car Loses Power Anytime I On My AC And Am In Traffic by TRYGO(m): 8:32am On Mar 27, 2024
Some questions for you:
1. Have you modified the compressor of your car before, to another one? Have seen some AC techs, condemning ECU controlled compressor, for a manual one, with excuse that the later, works more efficiently. That is wrong, though.

2. Any previous engine work done on the vehicle before now? A weak engine, wont cope with a fully functional AC system, cos of the additional loads on the engine.

3. There is VSV componenet just i think, attached to the intake manifold, with a tiny vacuum pipe attached to it.
Some call it AC vacuum line. If the VSV sensor itself is bad, or there is a vacuum leak on the line, you will get this problem.

4. Is this vehicle a Nigerian use, or ?

5. Can you furnish us with some of the history of this problem? I believe you must have tried fixing it somewhere else before.


Hope this helps you.

Joseph

He can actually increase the idle running of the car, if he wants to. There is a provision for that, on the accelerator pedal of the car.

Jesu Kristi! You guys will not believe that I've been having this same issue. Each time I start my vehicle, it makes this rattling noise for like 2 seconds and stops. Sometimes while moving, it makes the noise too.

Just yesterday, a diagnostics center said it's the oil pump

Possibly might be unrelated, but I noticed that engine sound seems louder in the cabin when accelerating, even when the windshields are wound up. The vehicle came with an already tampered (changed) catalytic converter, it's a China one that's there. I don't know if it's the camshaft, or the fake catalytic converter or just a bad muffler that's causing the loud engine noise on acceleration.

When the engine is running idle, you can barely hear it. The loud engine noise into the cabin is only noticeable when you begin to accelerate.

My Vehicle is Toyota corolla 2008 XLE

You probably would not get correct answer here regarding this noise.
A visit to a workshop for noise identification will be needed.
Sometimes, could be a hub bearing noise.

Good morning sir, is it advisable to just buy another camshaft rather than changing the camshaft gear?
Depends if you are buying them used or brand new. If buying used, the complete camshaft would be economical. But you got to maje sure the camshaft gear itself is not the same defective type from the donor vehicle.

So it doesn't run dry on 1st start. But leaving it soaked in oil for a whole day is an overkill to me though. Better safe than sorry sa.
Yes
Car TalkRe: Engine Rattle Noise Upon Cold Startup. by TRYGO(op): 9:25pm On Sep 01, 2023
aieromon:
What is the reason for this?
Resln for this is to prevent damaging the internal mechanism in the camshaft gear, as a result of it being bone dry feom the factory as it is brand new. Hope you understand thatstarting an engine component, especially the valve train, without oil, would wear out the components much faster?

Another reason nis that the camshaft gear comes from the factory LOCKED. So it is recommended by toyota or other brands, to have the gear unlocked, using pressurised air, to prevent that sudden rattling noise you may hear on the first start if the engine after inatallation.

If you got no access to compressed air in the shop, a sime alternayive i use is to soak in oil for a day; and when you come to install, immdiately you insert the solid camahft rod into the keyway opening of the camshaft gear,, it is always easily hand twisted clockwise to unlocked it.

New and old timing chain damper (top). The old one had a broken plastic damper, which increased the rattling noise to such a scary level. Always inspect this part, when replacing the camshaft gears.
