All the codes indicated will cause poor fuel economy.

Misfire if consistent means engine is running 75per efficient.

Evap is not so bad, but find the leak.

The transmission code is common on an ageing corolla, confirm rpm when driving on last gear at 60mlh

Replace the catalyst

Please do you still sell O2 spacers?

I know they help clear p0420. But do they also help with Mpg?

Abeg, reply. Before fuel subsidy sends me back to the village.

Good evening all. What is your opinion on a 2013 dodge grand caravan? Is it a wise decision to buy a neat one for a good price and how is the maintenance like?

o2 sensors don’t clear catalytic converter codes o

cause and effect .

You have no reference sensor voltage (5v) causing the throttle actuator to malfunction .

It's a delicate diagnosis
But I'll start by replacing the throttle body and pedal with units I know are working, if it still does not work I will try another engine computer.

Sorry for the late response... Later found out water got into the ECM (brain box). It has been there for a while and only deteriorated. I had to replace the brain box and all was fine

Do I need to mix the morning fresh with water or just pour it outrightly into the reservoir.

I have a 2010 Venza V6 that rattles 2secs on almost every start up. I want to fix it. Who can do the job without complications. And what could it cost me.

I also noticed that when I put gear to drive, the drivetrain jerks forward at engagement, and jerks backwards when put on reverse. But transmission runs and changes smoothly. I feel the engagements shouldn't be too noticeable. It's like a clunk. I also feel same clunk when driving and i suddenly hit the accelerator. It feels like something hits the car from underneath. What could it be.

Might be transmission mount or check rear engine mount

I hear banging and sometimes vibrating noise at the rear tire (right side) when I drive on a rough surface or gallop. What could be the issue. It started suddenly.

Interestingly, I use only water for my glass washer and it works fine. I don't like the aftermath stains.

Good evening guys,

Please can I use "Abro Automatic transmission fluid" as power steering fluid. Just noticed mine is totally empty and my steering was making a noise.

My mechanic recommended it but I'm still sceptical.

My Car is a corolla 2006

Thanks
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ReformerD: 8:50pm On Jul 04, 2023
Help! Help!

Here's the issue: my Kia Optima started getting hot, and I noticed that the radiator was clogged. I took it to a repair shop to have it fixed. After it was fixed, I started driving home and began experiencing sudden jerks when putting the car in reverse or drive.

So, I had the car scanned, and an error came up. However, the problem now is that the mechanic attempted to clean the mentioned component, and the car is driving well now. However, there is still a delay and jerking when putting it in reverse.

Has anyone else experienced this or know what I can do about it?

Thanks.

I have a problem with my Honda Pilot 07
I recently changed shocks
KYB shocks ( all four )
And changed all bushings with linkages


Now my car vibrates and shakes vigorously from 80km speed
It also dangles about the road while driving

And it consumes fuel terribly now
I have a code P0104

Your MAF sensor has been replaced or stolen. We're you there when work was ongoing,? Anyways your MAF sensor is the culprit
