How was it solved
I was so absent minded to check the gear oil that very day as I was in a mess and it never comes to mind that the gear oil is very very low(I don't use the car often though).
I just abandoned it that night until this morning when my mind is clear to even do some checking on it.
I bought the gear oil, start the engine, engage the gear in drive and it move without hassle.
Nevertheless, I will be glad if you have some advices concerning the issue.

There's this knocking sound when I press the accelerator coming from the passenger side of my 05 Corolla... It stops when I take my foot off the gas... What could be wrong?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by MrBentleyLP(m): 9:55pm On Oct 15, 2020
Hello Sirs,

Please help out with this issues. My Vehicle (Honda Accord 08 V6) was scanned and the scanner brought out the following error codes:

61-01 Modulator-Control Unit Initial IG low Voltage
83-19 ECM/PCM Relation Failure
P3400 Valve Pause System (VPS) Stuck Off
P0305 Misfire No. 5 Cylinder

How serious are these issues, how to go about these issues, is it safe to keep driving the vehicle and where can I get it fixed. I will appreciate if anyone can recommend a competent and trustworthy autoshop that can get all these issues fixed.

Thanks in advance for your kind advise and contributions.

First driving really fast should not cause the codes that popped..

Interestingly you have a catalyst converter code affecting only one bank (bank 2 front of the engine) in a V6 engine. Catalytic converter codes are very common in older cars and cars imported into Nigeria as they get stolen all the time before or after shipping by port rats. In your case it might have aged and burnt out.

O2 spacer, it is like what a plug adapter does?

You have 3 options, replace catalytic converter with a used one , replace with a refurbished one or install an oxygen sensor spacer. Either option will work if done well. Also you should inspect the bank1 .

The incorrect purge flow from evaporative emission system might be a leak on the engine side. This could cause startup issues especially if the purge valve is stuck open.

most Short RAM air intake do produce some sounds, but may cause a dip on fuel economy. That said, this your intake filter is really dirty. I'd suggest you check if it's the reusable type.

Oga Gazuzz and Car Gurus greetings to you all.

I have golf3 and it's been a great car, but I need to upgrade it. I am considering these two cars with a budget of ₦700K
1. Toyota corolla 2000 automatic. The one that has the inscription COROLLA at the back automatic or

2. Toyota corolla Bank Type manual because of my budget.

Which of these should I go for

Secondly EFI or VVT-i Engine which is better.

Thank you for your prompt response.
