Baba Gee, I hail your government. Please sir, I need your advise about this issue; it's an 06 corrolla, I recently cleaned my throttle body and discovered it threw 2 codes (P0123 and P2135) and maintenance required light came on aside from the regular check engine light. My question is; will replacing the entire trottle body fix this or could it be a minor thing like replacing the throttle position sensor only. Cc GAZZUZZ |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:36pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
A305: any issues presently? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by A305: 5:42pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:No issues at all except it takes long for it to idle down to 1000 on start up unless I put on the ac. I notice a little bit of rough idle when it finally gets to 1000. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:19pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
A305: The throttle pedal settings have been tampered with same with throttle body settings. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by A305: 6:21pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:Thank you sir. I really appreciate your advice. How can it be corrected sir? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:36pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
A305: Two ways, one copy parameters from another corolla without issues and adjust throttle pedal and throttle butterfly angles to those setting. 2 just replace throttle pedal and throttle body |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by A305: 6:59pm On Mar 28, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ:Don't know how to go about this sir but I will clear code and if it comes back, I will bring the car to your place sir after the coronavirus lock down. Thanks sir |

nonhuman: Take it to those that know about electrical wiring (popularly called rewire) they will return it back to normal, it's usually a easy thing |

Good evening please o recently swapped my 05 corolla for a 2010 Honda Accord 2010 4 cylinders After completing my uber HP. Theres this rattle on start up , I read I read its the VTC , and I want to know if I can go ahead and replace it ,also the car has been used for less 6 months after it was purchased as toks but they've started using mineral oil and I want to know if I can switch up to Synthetic oil ,lastly i noticed the oil level was short and I'm scared of oil burn issues as I intend to use the car for uber on weekends |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Erikado19: 2:05pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
GAZZUZZ: Please I drive a Lexus ES 300,it makes a loud sound when you start the engine in the morning, or when the car has not been driven for 6hours. The sound decreases within 2 -3 seconds after the engine is kept on to normal. I was told by a mechanic that it's the oil pump. He advised me to change the oil pump. Please, I want to know the cost of an oil pump for this vehicle.Could this be also not the oil pump. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ojeysky(m): 4:01pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
Erikado19: It's normal for a car to have cold start (with high rpm) and should come down thereafter. I hope your cooling system is on default settings |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Erikado19: 4:23pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
ojeysky: The sound is very rattling.Could it be the engine pump.Cooling system is on default. My mechanic said I will have to change metal and bearing |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 10:26pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
KingCassy: You don't change things and parts in modern cars without understanding what actually causes these malfunction. Scan that car and post codes here. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KingCassy(m): 11:32pm On Mar 31, 2020 |
KINGreignn: You have idea where I can scan the car in Enugu?? |
