Car TalkRe: Please..i Need Professional Advice On These Auto Scan Codes by ZIMDRILL(m):
AutoElectNG:
I repeat

I have reproduced this twice.

At all speeds below 80km no misfire.

At all speeds above 80km the check engine light starts blinking.

When the OBD II readout is done, it shows misfire codes.

Now this is the layman explanation.

The tire creates vibrations, the coils pick up the vibrations and send wrong inputs to the ECM.

The ECM in turn sets misfire codes.

Those codes go away at all speeds less than 80 and always return at all speeds greater than 80.

The challenge is open, I have reproduced it twice on Siennas running 3MZ-FE.

I wanted to share it months ago but cancelled at the last minute.

Once tire was replaced the misfires went away.

The faulty tire was the front right tire in both cases.

I have not tested it in other positions.

I researched it some more and a Toyota technician confirmed he has seen it too overseas.

Go figure!

In both cases, the problem tire had seen better days, and should have been replaced a while ago but the client was buying time to source for funds for a replacement!
my friend is a tyre can cause vibration that triggers misfire through the coil pack then the coilpack is fault its means with a even a good tyre in bumpy road a misfire will be triggered


so the problem would not be tyres but loose connection somewhere, yes tyres triggered but the problem would be there waiting to be triggered by anything

check these tests on they and with your theory then a missfire will be always triggered


i dont research i work with cars, electronics is my play field, yes vibration trigger things if not correctly tightened, in this case as you say tyres triggers a misfire, how much vibration as the driver are you getting that a fully working coilpack fail, while the ride is still very comfortable

my conclusion yes vibration from tyres was there but still a missfire will occurs again, did you work on the car or you were told of the causes of the misfire

let me tell you one trade secret, mechanics and electricians usually do, sometimes customers brings in cars and they tell you what they think is the problem half of the time there are wrong, if they present a faulty thats looks like a big job and if i find out that it is 2 secs job i still, charge and tell that i worked on the faulty and tell them indeed thats was the problem. but reality it would be the case

about a month ago a customer brought in an audi a5 the car wouldnt start, he changed the battery still nothing, the guy was so much in hurry he wanted the car to be fixed straight away plugged the car to the computer no codes, he suggested a new starter we ordered one and it was to be delivered the next morning so he left the car. me being an electrician checked all the wire on the battery connector, audis and bwms sometimes they have more than one positive wire linked to main positive thick battery cable, one of the small positive wire had blown the fuse, changed the fuse and the car started. but since the customer suggested the starter i went along with his starter story charged him for a changing the starter so it him the problem was the starter. as for us the garage the problem was £2 fuse on the positive terminal of the battery

that pic is the audi A5 positive battery terminal inside the box are other 12v lines that feed directly from the terminal and are fused

thats what i believe happened to this tyres causing missfire story

Sounding funny? Specifically about the tires causing misfires....and by the way it was one of a long list of possibilities, and never did I say it was the reason in this case

It is on reddit, check it out, I have personally confirmed it on a 3mzfe engine twice

By the way that comment was specifically placed there because he claimed to have changed coils but the misfires didn't go away

Once again let me restate this is no internet folklore and that A has not experienced something does not mean it has not or cannot happen or will not happen to B
tyre will never cause misfire no matter what


i can tell you are not a mechanic yes tyre can have a bump which will make the ride bumpy and if he coil is not tied enough it might cause a misfire but it doesnt mean its the tyre causing it NO its the coil pack or cable not being tight enough

being on reddit doesnt mean its correct reddit is for people who got no clue how things work

How are your tires? Out of round tires can cause vibrations that cause misfire codes
tyres causing missfire never is trillion years

the missfire codes are pointing to plugs and coilpack

1st the codes are saying missfire per individual cylinder

2nd there are saying system ignition missfire likely coilpack
3rd mostly thats what is triggering the knock sensor since the missfire

I understand your post perfectly and I say bride price has absolutely nothing to do with the way each man thinks.

See the Indian culture that was raised here for instance...the women are the one who pay dowry but are still maltreated and abused by the "husbands they bought".
am afraid it is to someone men, you are failing to understand that not all men think like you or take things like you. you are stuck in on way of seeing things and not exploring the thinking of other men

am sure you have heard many men besides love they married for other reasons i,e someone to have kids with, cook and wash etc when such things dont materialise especially after being frustrated with demands during bride pricing negonitions, some men bring out the subject if bride price they dont get what they expectes "is this what paid bride price for"

Of course even marriage to an older lady requires a lot of patience from the man.
If I haven't seen situations where marriages between older ladies and men hit the rocks while those between younger ladies and much older men succeeded, perhaps I would have agreed with you that age gap is a major determinant of marital success.
Your problem is that you make hasty generalization! In some parts of Nigeria, girls even in their 16s are very ready for marriage and would be very willing to get married and believe me, it is not always about trying to escape from poverty.
do you know what is mob phsycology

this is when people act the same way becoz the next person is doing the same or people around you are acting the same

a 16s year old if feel ready becoz she has seen other 16s getting married but it mean she really ready no the is following the pattern

its us men who lust for young girls and we marry them very young

imagine marrying a 16 yr old legally she can even get into a night club nor can she vote and you say you got a wife ?

the only thing to her name is birth certificate and may be a national id

sometimes men we are an embrassment to each other

picture this equation there are more girls who marry very young average 17 and below than boys of the same age why ?

simple its greedy men to pray into inmature teens and make them wives


few cases you would find a 16 yr old boy marrying another 16 yr old girl, its always much older guys marrying 16 yr old girl why ?

Are you saying men don't love their wives because they pay bride price? What about the men who love their wives dearly and do not take her for granted even after paying bride price? Take away bride price and a man will still be who he is.

People that are abusive will be that way whether you collect bride price or give them the wife for free. There are couples that have been living together for years like husband and wife with children who haven't been married in any form still facing such issues.

So even if a rich man married a less privileged lady without paying a dime, he will still remind her that he brought her out of poverty if that is the kind of person he is.

If we are going to take away bride price, it should be because we want a change and not because it will mitigate against abuse, slavery, itemizing, etc.
1 take emotions away

2 read slowly understand my point

i said some men are abusive becoz there corrupted by money becoz they think money is the solution to every problem hence they have no respect and value other people becoz they take you as an asset thar can be replaced

i never said bride price should be removed Nope we are talking of how some men entangle it in their abuse treatment of the wife

Adiwana:
Most of y'all acting like you will not complain too if you attend a wedding as this.The way people here talk 'Do you go to wedding because of food' is really pathetic.If you go to any function dont eat b/c you didnt go there for the food.Better still tell the celebrants not to cook at all.The way people act online ehn,you will think their shiit no dey smell.Bunch of fake lifers.
Its very simple.Organise a wedding/function in which you can adequately attend to a small amount of people and stop having a grand wedding in which you disgrace yourself with that nonsense that is called food
the problem i think with african people is you want everything for free i.e food and to be filled up for free

you can never fill up people's bellies, aslong the food state nice and you had your own portion thats fair enough,

if you are invited, on free charge be glad that you had something to eat. not moaning about filling up
your belly.

And how many girls of that age did you relate with to arrive at your conclusionhuh

I have many instances of girls even younger than 20 who got married to much older men and had successful marriages.
1 you saw things from outside not within the marriage itsself

2 remember i clearly said the husband needs to be patient too so what if those girls were lucky to have patient husbands

3 most girls who marry young to older men are excaping poverty at home so they will fight to make the marriage a successful one

4 i am 42 yrs old now and when i look at decisions i made at 20 and i was single, they make me see if i had married at that time for sure i wouldnt been more mature as i am now, experience is the best teacher, it can not be copied from people around you, its a personal journey thats has different elements from on evey person and couple

a solution that worked for your mum and dady can not be a universal for you or for every married couple, each couple has its own journey and most couple dont tell you the struggle you only see the results

and some are good PR (public relations couple ) look and act lovely in public but there is no happiness at home

Exactly at the bolded.Seeing women as property or maltreatment in any form has nothing to do with bride price.

What about men who cohabit with a woman who probably even has a child for him whose dowry he hasn't paid? He hasn't done any form of marriage proceedings but still treats her like a property and disrespecs and enslaves her.

It is a thing of the mind and mentality. it has nothing to do with paying bride price. Even a boyfriend that hasn't paid anything can do the mentioned things. Let us stop attaching these behaviors to bride price.
yes sometimes dowry has nothing to with it on some abusive men

but dowry make it worse on those who get abusive husbands as some cases family marries of daughter to a rich guy, usually these rich guys are corrupted by money they have no respect for other person, becoz money buys them whatever they want, when money is rejected as trade of for something eg wife doesnt want expensive things but her husband to be naturally a loving person spending more time together etc.

such husbands communicate via money, so they remind these wives by saying i bought you etc or i bought you out of poverty etc

the woman would everything in terms of material things but there is no love affection from husband

So to you, what's the ideal age gap that would be ideal between both parties?
maximum 10 yrs




usually society meaning most people older than yourself judge you, parents and the rest meaning people of your parents age and beyond

& 37 your parents might be in the 60s and they expect you to be mature like them and they expect your wife to be mature like you but she is just 20.

so wife at 20 she meant to be mature like you and yo parents expect her to be mature like them and society once her to be mature like 60 yr olds,

so you have to defend your wife from
these expectation from family and society, there are things that you prepare for but exprience of like can not be taught by word of mouth, you have to walk through it yourself and every home and situation it always different


so you to as husband you need to be patient with her she as she go through her own exprience finding a way how the two of you can make a new home more comfortable without offending you, your family and society at large

And you are still enjoying your "youth" and possibly waiting for a Mr Paul to show up now??!

@topic, age is just a number and the fact that the lady is 20 does not necessarily mean she is not matured enough for marriage. I know many ladies in that age bracket who got married to men far older than them and they are doing well in their marriages. Likewise, I know some who got married in their 35s yet ain't having it cool in marriage.
Op, don't let the opinion of people in this forum stop you from marrying your woman because people tend to react to issues like this with so much bias.
Since the lady in question is willing to be married, pls go ahead and marry her if you have established that the two of you are compatible.
20 and 37 doesnt work got my reasons let me explain

at 20 the girl hasnt really experienced much decision making of general things let alone running a home with a husband then new people aka the in-laws. the guy has 17 years of explosure to life experience and in this situation the guy has to lower his maturity/exposure to life on dealing with the girl, he must have patience so will the girls in - laws

you see with women, there are forced to look and act mature by two things 1 the moment she get married even at 16 is forced to act and look simply becoz she now a married woman anf with comparison she must act and look mature like 40 yrs old woman. which is anfair the 16yr old is still battling teenage homornes 2 once a woman gives birth nature forced her to carer and provider to the child, so once again she is forced by motherhood to make right decision for the child and also husband.

so i hear people say ohhh woman mature faster then men to me i say no there are forced into maturity by circumstance i mentioned above

back to story the guy has to be patient with the 20 yr old but unfortunately reality sometimes is ruthless, he might lower is guard but relatives expect more from her than the guy

sometimes men we create problem for ourself eg marrying a 20 yr old when you are nearly 40, naturally yourself as men you would have experienced all those crazy 20s age clubbing hanging out with your friends etc and herself she hasnt and she want to try it with you but you would be saying its rubbish and nothing new there. the difference is you experienced it yourself and she hasnt so that might make you drift apart

its more hard work on the guy to deal with a 20 yr old when you are nearly 40, the woman is more of a trophy wife. one is babysitter the other is a carer

Nooo you got it wrong

There are some times when you will need an advice and a married woman giving you that advise will be based on her previous experience

Singles, can also advise her

But being a married woman, she needs something that will help her to support her home because she knows what she is passing through as a married woman
yes he is right to say you got low feedback
becoz you titled kicks out unmarried people,

and you still doing the same mistake by saying married people will give advice based on experience

you are confusing two things, running a successful business has nothing to with being married, your business is has poor sales per week that has nothing to with being married, but finding products that are fast movers on the shelf. if it was about how married business women manage between running a business and family life then yes you would ask married women to mostly cheap in with ideas

but reading your post its about the business having slow sales and either improving salea by doing few changes eg getting new stuff that sell fast or trying a new business alltogether
CultureRe: Are Your Parents Tribalist About Who You Date? by ZIMDRILL(m):
druxlazu:
I am. Yoruba too but I was born here in the North. I can't speak the language infact but my hard core Yoruba which I believe is common to all Yoruba. Inter marriage is very bad and I will think about marrying anybody outside Yoruba too.

I use to plan in the future that I might married a Fulani or Hausa or Nupe woman but more especially Fulani (I am a Muslim) but I pondered for a long while that this is not going to work for me. I can't marry a woman just for love, I have to consider the type of children that we will breed.

It is part of life that almost everybody want to meet with his own class, this means If i have a good standard of living and well educated, I will want to marry somebody of that class. Hell no, even if I am giving 20 women of my class outside Yoruba. I will rather go and marry a poor or the poorest Yoruba woman.

Black people believe we are the same but I will never believe we are the same not because of language or dressing but our blood is completely different. I will not married somebody to breed me a human I am not unlikely to understand.


Things for me that makes core (I am not talking about those that speak the language but those with the real blood ) Yoruba people standout ( I have disgust for bastards, you just don't know what type of human they are.)

1. They are instinctively and primitively good people but very allergic to bastards (I mean people who spoil other people just like pathogens)

2. They have time and time again forgive and forget that you have done bad to them.

3. The people with the most Godly attributes such as kindness, trust, Mercy.

4. Like making pranks but not in the sense of trying to goad people while other ethnic people will start getting rage.

5. Of all the hard core Yoruba people I know which I can easily identify not by language but behavior. They are the softiest and hate fighting at all cost not because they don't have intelligence or strength but primitively they know it means nothing.

6. Yoruba people are called treacherous but never will I call my people such. I know why and I will tell why, When I am your best friend, you cannot expect me to be anymore when you decide what could be considered naturally evil.

7. They don't take orders if their primitive mind tells them the order they are giving to do something is evil.

The above characteristics can be found in real Yoruba people not bastards who do not even know they are bastards. Beside, I know how to identify a half Yoruba blood and full hard core Yoruba people.

Again, If my child will be dullest (if it ever happened) in the world but have all what can be considered Godly attributes without anything evil like cunning, sneaking, back bitting, gossiping, following bastards and bad people who corrupt the world and have no purpose in this world except destruction. I will surely be satisfied completely
we all have our believes,

but do you tthat there is nothing called pour blood but self entitlement, what you call pour blood is choosin someone from either same believes and culture

there is no DNA which ID tribe i.e identify to say this DNA is of yoruba, fulani igbo etc

every man & woman has her own DNA genes she passes on to the child whether

tribes are born out power struggle or separation of geographical location, therefore ways of life would be different

all things like class in society has nothing to do pour blood or dna but association by common things you choose among yourself, churches are good example, they all pray the same god, but we got so many churches you think the number of churches is equal to the number of gods No

it is association by common likings, beliefs and goal so beliefs differ from group to group person to person

lasstly your beliefs are yours entitled to you and those who see same goals as you, like you said you are a muslim but not by pour blood but by a belief of islam faith

my point is what we called pour blood is association by a common thing eg yourself marrying a woman from you tribe, the same with kings they marry people from noble families i.e people who very rich like them and with history of being noble family

a bit of education

depending on whether you use boxer pants or just pants it will affected especially the pants as they keep it tight against your body then finally whether you are right or left handed

so naturally if you are right handed you would like your cucumber to lay of the left side it is easy to pull if out or slide in your hand from your right hand to the left

so now your cucumber lays like that all the time and at same time its kept in the position by your tight pants so eventually your cucumber will always lean the side ut lays on

Yesterday the father to his wife gave him a key to a duplex within their compound for him and his wife to move in and a brand new toyota car has a gift, but my parents oppose him moving into that house.
Please should he reject the offer of accommodation? Cos the family truly like him.

Your advise is needed, thanks.
its never a good idea becoz as couple you dont learn to grow your own ways, in one or two she will says i cant do this becoz my parents dont like it


if you are living away from parents you are not tied to what parents think you should behave or run you home


when comes to such things always ask yourself why your parents dont live with their own parents? excpet if there are ill

you are missing the big picture

i think guys complain becoz girlz demand as if their are entitled to be look after, it is as if the guy has taken over responsiblity from the girls parents or the girl has just stopped looking after herself its job of the guy she is dating to takeover responsibility

there is nothing wrong in spoiling your woman, but she mustnt demand it as a full time responsibility, we are meant to do it as a sign of love and care

then on the dent also we assume you got no insurance so was the driver that hit you


as for repairs i assume you are asking about repair costs, the best is take it to body shop repair they lift and strip that side and assese the damage they give you an estimation based on physcially checking than looking at the photo

If it is still within the acceptable thick it is perfectly legal in the industry those limits about the minimum thickness of the rotors have been tested by the industry. If something else was causing the rotors to warp in the first place that is a different issue. When you replace brake pads you want to remove contaminants by turning to get to a new surface. If your cheap brakes only last 2 years you don't want to be changing rotors every 2 years
yes your are correct thats the reason i said worn out disc, contaminants happen due to lying idle for a long time, then uneven happens when the pads are completely worn out to the mental plate

but did look at the one in the picture

Don't want to replace your rotors? We might be able to machine them for you and save you a replacement.
thats a dangerous thing to do to skim a worn our disc especially the one on the photo, the outer side of the disc is completely gone, there is no life left in it

the moment you machine a worn out disc your weakning its structure allready worn out by general wear which happens when breaking, there is nothing to skim on the disc it will too thin you are actaully putting your life at risky

a thin disc will heat up quickly and the disc will warp and it wont be effective at breaking and will damage your break pads, worse scenario it will break apart

you say it corrosion on the coating so simple sandpaper the corrosion until the corrosion is off

i thought that gum they put onthe edge is strong enough to hold air even on top of rusted abit area

so you are saying the gum cant hold pressure over the corrosion area though there is no crack on that area ?

What was given to you was learner's permit. The process of driver's license is a long process, though you can do it yourself but not advisable because you might face some bottlenecks while doing it so, I advise you consult the service of an officer ( I am not one and I don't have any but that was how I got mine)

You will need a test certificate number which can only be issued by a confirmed driving school. It takes 3months to get that though, you may know how to drive but you need that to get a driver's license. They cannot do any magic or fake it because they will have to register you and the result certificate will be ready in 3months.


Upon receiving the certificate, you will be able to register, go to VIO office to be tested and confirm the class to be issued, pay the required fee for registration then, you will be issued a temporary license to elapse in 3months. During this period, your license will be processed, it takes more than 6months sometimes to get the permanent but you can visit the FRSC office renewal of the temporary till your permanent is ready. That's the process

NB: Any express is FAKE. Yes, its FAKE. When you start the process you will understand better
damn no wonder african nations we lack
behind in progress

something like a driver's licence shouldnt take 3 or 6 months

then whats happens if i want to register a high tech company ?

in my native zimbabwe, for you to get a leaner's licence (provisional licence) aka leaner's you need to book 1st for the test @ VID (vehicle inspection department) the test is a theory exam if you pass you get a leaner's licence which is valued for year of which within a year from the date issued you must get your full licence other wise you to resit again to get another leaners licence. so technically it takes just few hours to get your leaners provided you passed the test

so after getting your leaners thats when you can actually start to learn to drive on road with your leaner's licence occupied by a full licence holder, you ethier learn via driving skol (the best option ) or other mean family friend etc

then when your instructor thinks your are ready you book for the practical test, if you pass you get your full licence, they give you the temporal paper one while the mental one gets processed (i dont know now but they should be plastic but they used to be metal even our ID check attached photos )

as for how long the metal took to
given to you am afriad i cant remember,

Car TalkRe: Highlander 2006 Model, Gear Not Changing After Changing Shaft by ZIMDRILL(m): 11:21pm On Oct 21, 2018
princemose:
My Highlander 2006 model was driving well until I decided to change the shaft with a local mechanic. After changing it the refused to change from gear one. At the moment the car only drives with gear one.

We checked and the transmission oil is not leaking.

Please I need your urgent help

Thanks
am not familiar with model as we dont have them
in UK

so when youbsay shaft which one do you mean ? the car looks like a 4x4 which means the car would 5 shafts aka 1 each per wheel =4 then the 5th prop shaft = the one that transfers power to rear wheels


if the car is a rear drive you would get 3 shaft i.e 2drive shaft and prop shaft

so which shaft are you talking about

I wish it was that simple. It's the corrosion at the tire beads... Caused by the local vulcaniser's acidic eba sealant.... huh
any alloy welder would fix it
Car TalkRe: Alloy Wheels Leak Issues by ZIMDRILL(m): 11:18am On Oct 21, 2018
is the alloy is leaking simple

find the leak and fix it

usually it would be a crack find it, get it welded

your problem would be solved
