How about buying from cars45.com? Is it safe? Can you rely on their inspection report?

Anyone with experience buying from cars45.com?

Phones / Re: How To Make Glo Network Browsing Speed Fast Like Mtn,etisalat by Urbino: 9:28am On Apr 08, 2018
This is balls. Glo internet is way way faster than MTN, at least here in abuja. Here is my current internet speed, which I might say is well below the average. Which MTN network can beat this?

erico2k2:

have you replaced anything B4? ie idle control motor? or Throttle sensor B4? by the way your PCN is fine as it is throwing codes.

Car is in abuja. I've changed the throttle sensor twice before.

P0506- idle air control system Rpm lower than expected.
Faulty air control solenoid, circuit problem

P2122- Acura Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 'A' Throttle Position Sensor 'D ...

Accelerator pedal could be bad which is not most likely

Throttle actuator, circuit problem

P2176-Throttle Actuator Control System Idle Position Not Learned.

Where is the location of your car and what test has been done to proof beyond reasonable doubt that the wiring and ecu is bad.
Car is in abuja. I've changed the throttle sensor twice before. The mechanic's word is the only proof I've got.

I have a 2007 Acura TL. Car has had on/off issues with the throttle sensor. Manifests by the car idle but won't rev up or move. Used to be that when you switch off and restart the car, it begins to work again.

Lately, the problem has become really bad. Once it happens even if you restart the car 20 times it won't work now. Also the car goes off in the middle of the road when you slow down. Also goes off when you make hard turns. Very dangerous as it has happened on expressways and busy roads.

The electrician I engaged says the entire wiring system is bad and needs to be replaced along with the brain box. Cost is estimated at 120k.

Want to find out if that is the likely problem. And if it is, is this a fair price?

I had the car scanned and it threw up the following errors: P0506, P2122, P2176.

Car Talk / Car Emitting Blue/white Smoke by Urbino: 9:07am On Sep 09, 2017
I got a 2007 Honda tokunbo last December with any 80k miles. I always uses Forte oil and changed it every 3 months. I rarely use the car as I'm always out of town. Maybe 2 to 3 days a week.

3 weeks ago, I got back from travel only after changing the oil about a month before, undecided to check the oil gauge and the oil was really short. I quickly went to the service station and the mechanic suggested switching to Total oil.

Once he changed the oil and I started the Car, it started emitting blue smoke from the exhaust. Something inhad never done before.

After consultation with other mechanics, he drained that oil, flushed the engine, and put back Forte oil.

The smoke continued for about an hour after and stopped.

Now lithe car intermittently brings out the smoke, especially in the morning, and curiously when I engage the reverse gear.

I consulted a mechanic and he said I need to buy a new engine.

This is quite distressing as I can't afford to do that, on a car I've not used that long.

Any similar experience or suggestions on alternatives?

Currently the oil is down a bit (not short) only after 3 weeks of my last oil change.

The mechanic wants to try mobil oil now

Was it only the throttle sensor that was changed or it was changed with the complete throttle body unit?

Religion / Church, Religion, And Selfishness by Urbino: 9:09am On Jan 15, 2017
It's 9 am Sunday morning. The two churches that flank me in this normally peaceful urban Abuja area are unusually quiet. I really hope their rapture has taken place so I can finally get some peace and quiet every Sunday morning.

Selfish people.

You have a "father" as powerful as God who controls millions of galaxies and yet all you ask for every Sunday are petty things.
I know if I had a father as powerful as yours, I know I'll ask for an end to world hunger, cure for all cancer patients, serious stuff. Not cure for headache where you can buy paracetamol.

Please ask him if the camera would capture tomorrow's event today. If the answer is NO, then delete that guys number off your phone.

From my experience, the max I have seen is 40,000 plus installation.

A guy offered to install a reverse camera with mp3 player on my car
Here are the estimates he gave

European: 150,000
Korean: 120,000
Chinese: 70,000

Are these prices fair and does anyone know the difference between them?
