JORAF: any info

chikasin4: @detola I dont undastand wat u mean by REWIRE, pls explain.

[CHocolaTE:
]How are you and yours? Hope everyone is fine. If so, thanks be to God.
My purpose of writing this letter is to inform you that you guys really need to start pitying your wives when it comes to the issue of housework.
Ejor, we understand that you are kings and monarchs and are very powerful and wonderful.
But abeg, try to pity your wives when it comes to the issue of housework.
I have seen different threads on Nairaland where men stated that they can not help with the housework because that is a woman's work or because if they help their wives she will start expecting them to always assist.
One thing you should realize is that you should help out if your wife contributes financially even if the responsibility of taking care of the house is expected to be that of the woman in the society we live in.
It is not easy for women, you have to understand this, having to run jobs and take care of kids and take care of the house all at once is not a piece of cake so please help out.



How would you feel if your wife refused to contribute money to help you with something you have dire need of money for, maybe your business? Or if she refused to contribute money for medical care that you might need for an illness someday in future? What if your wife refused to help you in such times because she believes that contributing financially to the house is something only the husband should do?
Kindly start assisting in the house, thank you. It doesn't make you less of a man.

Yours Faithfully,
Chocolate.

lumideezle: Hello everyone,
I'm new to automobiles, just got a volvo 2004 XC90 and I have been wondering if the car is a V4, V6 or v8 engine. I need this information to know what to expect when it comes to fuel consumption.
Its not written at the back of the car.
Also Gurus in the house please advice me on how to effectively takecare of the SUV thanks.

tunaprex: I had an accident today and my right side airbag got blown out! No much damage to the body. I don't know what to do now. Can it be fixed or do I have to replace it? Please I'll be traveling back to my base(kaduna) in a few days, I'm in lagos right now. Where in lagos can it be done and please, an idea of the cost implication.

Hotie Tima: well it's can be Good when your trying to

which even cost them break-ups at the end of the day.

lourash: Great Minds,

i need help on this error which i got after scanning my car. it reads 'Variable Intake Solenoid #1 Circuit Malfunction'. please i need someone to help me on how to resolve this as it seems that these mechanics do a lot of trial and error and i want a permanent solution.


regards,[b][/b]

Siena: That looks more like a transmission breather valve, not a filler port.

One of the reasons you need to read your owner's manual from beginning to end. Most errors with regards to automobile use and maintenance stem from ignorance. Like some folk running 60 psi in a 195/50x15 tyre, because they fail to read their Owner's Manuals.

Tnoni: I GOT AN EOD 2004 NOVEMBER, I ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT WITH THE VIBRATION AND THE SELLER TOLD ME IT IS ONLY THE ENGINE SIT, THAT I SHOULD CHANGE IT, IMMEDIATELY I TOOK THE CAR HOME THE NEXT DAY I PAID A MECHANIC TO GET IT FIXED ONLY FOR THE VIBRATION TO CONTINUE. NOW THE MECHANIC IS SAYING IT HAS TO BE THE OTHER TWO ENGINE SITS, THAT HE DID NOT CHANGE, I DONT KNO WAT TO DO, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MORE THAN 3 WEEKS NOW.
HOW DO I CLEAR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IF I CHANGE THE OTHER ENGINE SITS WILL THE VIBRATION STOP? PLUS WHICH ONE IS BETTER FAIRLY USED ENGINE SITS OR BRAND NEW ONES.

Supzyy: I drive a 2008 toyota camry, automatic transmission. Anytime i engage the gear, either in reverse or drive, the car starts moving even without any pressure on the throttle. i assume this to be normal with all automatic cars. However, a few days ago, i noticed that after engaging the gear, the car not only started moving but also shifted up itself. i had to turn off the engine and restarted the car. should i be worried about this? i love being in control of my car at any given time

chikasin4: Our climate here in Nigeria is between 20¢ to 40¢ degree by estimate.

chikasin4: thank u, I will try and clean it by the weekend.
Also, I will like to know if it is safe to put mobile 1 synthetic engine oil (0W- 40) at the car dat travels more than 170,000miles. If yes how long or miles does it cover b4 changing. Thank u

nissparts: Here is some knowledge for you, the oxygen sensor you are referring to, which is the lower one, has ABSOLUTELY NO BEARING on fuel consumption.
The one on top (air/fuel ratio sensor) is the one that controls inputs to your injectors and can affect fuel economy.
You have proven what I have said countless times on this site and elsewhere, the absence/presence of a catalyst also has no bearing on fuel economy. They are placed there to regulate exhaust emissions into the atmosphere, nothing more, nothing less.
Whatever solution you come up with to take off the CEL will not affect your "perceived poor fuel economy".
I am not sure I read anywhere in this thread that you have ACTUALLY replaced the sensor in question. If that is so, I would wonder why. Also note that it may not be the sensor at fault but the connection at the socket of the sensor.

Automotive oxygen sensors, colloquially known as O2 sensors, make modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible. They help determine, in real time, if the air–fuel ratio of a combustion engine is rich or lean. Since oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust stream, they do not directly measure the air or the fuel entering the engine. But when information from oxygen sensors is coupled with information from other sources, it can be used to indirectly determine the air-fuel ratio. Closed loop feedback-controlled fuel injection varies the fuel injector output according to real-time sensor data rather than operating with a predetermined (open-loop) fuel map. In addition to enabling electronic fuel injection to work efficiently, this emissions control technique can reduce the amounts of both unburnt fuel and oxides of nitrogen entering the atmosphere. Unburnt fuel is pollution in the form of air-borne hydrocarbons, while oxides of nitrogen (NOx gases) are a result of combustion chamber temperatures exceeding 1,300 kelvin due to excess air in the fuel mixture and contribute to smog and acid rain. Volvo was the first automobile manufacturer to employ this technology in the late 1970s, along with the three-way catalyst used in the catalytic converter.

speed001: @ michs its all city driving o and @ times I use the airconditioner but nt all d time. I've changed the sensor but the code refused to go. I bought d sensor new and changed it but it did nt work m the electrician tested tone stuff wit tester and said no current dere or sumfin. Inputs needed

chikasin4: but d u know d location of it in d engine? So that I can clean it before thinkin about hw to replace it.

Stallion77: I recently experience over heating with my Honda babyboy 1999 and along the line, i was told my gasket was burnt as the water from the radiator was oozing out wen the engine was running... i had that fixed only to discover that the temperature went up again and water was leaking from a pipe,the mechanics said its the AC pipe and i dont use the AC. I had that fixed and just a little drive of less than 2km,the car temperature goes nearly above the middle. I was then told that my single cell radiator has expired and does not work as efficiently as it should and that i need to change it to a double cell radiator and things will normalize...here lies my question, is that really the problem?

Your candid responses would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

mich2012: Thanks a lot ZIM. Are you an auto mech/technician?

mich2012: Sorry Bro, guess we have to stay glued to this thread then. Do you get that mileage with AC on and city drive?
I wish the mods will help push it to front page.




Thanks a lot. He uses a repair manual which he also used during the diagnosis and also a nice mech but this brain box issue is strange to me to be honest. Thanks once more!

speed001: Have d same issue. Mine is a toyoota camry with code P1135 meaning aair fuel sensor malfunction bank1 sensor 1. The mechanic said the brain box is faulty dat I should change it. Buut if d brain box is fualty won't d car begin to mibehave. Well mine still gets good gas mileage as I get 323 miles on a full tank aas opposed to 416 miles. Any suggestionm

mich2012: Thanks a lot! The guy said he tested the sensor in the car, that it is good but my concern is if it is good, why then did the car return a code that has to do with the sensor?




The guy said the sensor is ok that even if we change it that the code will still be there and the fuel issue will persist. He says changing the brain box will correct everything. While I do not want to doubt this, I have to be very careful of changing the brain box of a very sound car I have barely even used and which did not return any brain box code when scanned. The mech says that the brain box will not return codes since it is not ok but then why did it return the P0141 code?

ldpele: thanks so much pak,my challenge is not usin the OBD II or other sockets but installing the software on my compaq,window seven. its refusing to install complete,and the software requires constant updating,which it doesnt too. there website is adsscan.com. so,making using of the obd ii isnt yet coming to play cos the software hasnt been properly installd,if u cn write me,ama send u pixs of the scannr commands that pops up when i try using it

Saintp: Auto gurus, i have a problem.

my 99 camry finds it difficult to accelerate from stop especially when i brake while on speed and try to accelerate again, it becomes sluggish until after sometime it picks up speed again. my mechanic says my gear is d problem and he can work on it. Pease what do u think

Auto gurus.Plz advice as usual. Tanx

speed001: I'm nt touching d E C U. Just wanna look for d connection . Pls where is d ECU located sef. Thanks

speed001: @ zim drill I know. I have replaced it but the problem is still dere. So I want a rewire to check the connections to the ECU

cEXie: On my way to do my Usual School runs. The CEL light of my 2009 corolla comes on, am sooo scared cos I dnt know if it will lead to an Engine Knock!!
