Help! My V6 Camry(Big Daddy) Is Getting Lazy by joeruano: 12:06am On Sep 15, 2016
The car is usually sluggish when I start a journey but later speeds up well after some minutes of being on the road. And if I slow down and decide to accelerate again, it takes a long while for it to accelerate normally even though it's engine is a V6.
And it seems to consume more fuel these days.

What could be wrong with it?

A proper diagnosis needs to be carried out. First thing you need to do is run a comprehensive scan on your power train (engine & transmission) . What ever fault error(s) seen would be used to work to arrive at a solution. Do not throw money around parts. If you need a solution and you are in lagos. Call 08156087872 or 08165520837

Just like that ,what if change the fuel pump and the problem persist nko,that is approach to fix a issue is too expensive .Best approach is to run a diagnosis on the car to ascertain the problem first before changing whatever is the issue.

Well am not arguing with you... I just gave the op a most possible solution... Am sure he ought to know that he needs to run a diagnosis on the car... But he only came to know the possible cause of the problem

Was so quick to come in and read your write up, I ha same experience with a honda baby boy yesterday, check the level of your transmission fluid. It might be as a result of low ATF...

I understand u perfectly but the op might not be aware of anything like auto-diagnosis which is now the professional approach which offer cheaper,and faster method of fixing issues unlike the Kazeem method of throwing parts to fix issues which can make you to change all the parts in the car and the issue will still persist.
If you are mentioning possible cause ,I can give u up to 50 possible things that can be responsible .

The level is ok, I guess. It's slightly above the upper mark. I'm now wondering if it's because it's slightly over the upper mark of the dipstick.

don't be a parts changer, test the whole system and detect which is defective. May be it is the fuel filter that is blocked, or any other thing

Who knows of an auto diagnostics shop in abuja
Re: Help! My V6 Camry(Big Daddy) Is Getting Lazy by cokoduck: 7:27am On Sep 15, 2016
Op you have to scan your car, it is a v6 and it is obd2 compliant, ie it is computerized so the worst thing you can do is to take it to a kazeem, they will make the problem worse, well, it is your car not mine.

it is quite unfortunate that you keep on ignoring the people who will help you instead you preferred to listen to those who say change this change that, GO AND RUN A SCAN ON YOUR CAR, YOU SHOULD SCAN THE CAR AND THE COMPUTER WILL HELP THE TECHNICIAN TO NARROW THE PROBLEM. CHANGING THIS AND THAT WILL NOT HELP YOU.

I don't have all d time in the world to reply everybody and that's why I thanked "EVERYONE" that contributed and that included those who suggested a scan. I already made up my mind to scan it
