I took the car to another technician today. We cleaned the rocker arm pressure switch, and also the oil pressure switch... and the problem was solved..

The initial mechanic I was using insisted on changing the rocker arm pressure without him even checking too see what might be wrong
So I was right.

NB:I don't know much about auto terminologies
Please i drive a Nissan Sunny ex saloon 2004 manual transmission.It happened that i was driving recently then i stopped in traffic,but i noticed my car was doing as if it was going to go off which prompted me to keep pressing the throttle just to keep the engine working.Thinking it was fuel,i bought more fuel then hit the road,this time around the car started jerking which i managed to drive it home.Later i took it to a mechanic's place to maybe increase what i understood as "SLOW",a move that got my car system destabilized completely because he first asked me to change my spark plugs,which i did,yet the problem persists,he loosen what he called Airflow meter,he loosen throttle cable.Once he starts the car,it will start normally and immediately the sound will reduce like the car will go off then picks up again.Since he did not get what's wrong,he disconnected a sensor telling me it the airflow meters that are beginning to go bad,immediately he disconnected the airflow meter above the compressor,the check engine sign came up.
To shorten the whole story,another mechanic looked at it yesterday who asked me to change fuel pump,buy injector cleaner,i did all these,yet no changes,he checked the sensors.While trying to check the crankshaft sensor located in a very difficult part of the engine,the car would not start again,when he tried to key in the sensor back as he was unable to remove it,the sensor broke,Now the sensor has been removed by a panel beater and i sent money for another one,when the car would not start he scanned it and he got a Crankshaft sensor error,Please what can you suggest with this whole story and experience of mine because this car is one car that does not give me issue but unfortunately am experiencing this at the moment.
Kindly help,thanks.

My 2009 Hyundai sonata, the gear 1 & 2 do jerk but the manual doesn't, I took it for a scan, they couldn't detect anything, I took it to gearbox specialist, he said it is not gear box issue, that it is brain box. I've tried getting the brain box, last week I got one which they programmed it using the old one. I fixed it two days ago, the jerking has stopped but I noticed the car goes off when the speedometer is moving closer to zero... i.e when I apply break and about to stop, this has been occurring for two days now. I was told the car is synchronizing since we changed the brain box and the car battery has been disconnected for almost a week. Please help me, what can I do?

You have it figured out already.
Narrow your diagnosis to your TPS.
Modified. Good you had the issue fixed. You should get a better scanner though.

Your cat has been kazeemised.
Find a better technician and start undoing all the things they destroyed.
The first step to fixing any engine problem is to get it scanned. It might do you good to get your own scanner.

Hi guyz I have a 2014 Toyota Camry sport and I notice there is a delay when the gear is to move from gear 2 to 3. It just feel like the gear disengages to neutral for like a second before 3 engages. Or it feels like the car is breaking itself, so there is a forward push for the occupants in the car before it engages gear 3. Basically a rough shift from 2 to 3. No check engine light on. I have had to research and this YouTube video on my signature perfectly explains what I am facing.i also found out Toyota made an update to the software of the transmission in this bulletin(Toyota TSB T-SB-0312-17) to address this issue. Also see two individuals that had the same issue and what they did to get it solved in the screen shot. Problem is I don’t know a professional that can get I done.

There are 2 codes, what's the second code?

My opinion is you should get a much higher end computer and diagnose to find out what you're dealing with.

Any 2seconds cold 'krrraaaa' sound?
If none, it's either your chain is stretched or a kazeem has been at your VVTi actuator and welded it.

No sir.
This stuff started when the vehicle overheated because the radiator hose was clipped when the AC technician fixed a new condenser and compressor.

Please I was driving and I noticed my brake light and abs came on. Then I noticed my speedometer stopped reading . The car drives fine, could it be my speed sensor?

I'll go with his initial diagnosis.
Your chain might have stretched from the overheating.

Good Day House,

I am driving a 010 Toyota Camry. But have been noticing some issue as regards the Gear. Whenever put the Gear on D ( Drive ) it delays few 10 - 15seconds before responding or shifting to drive. But respond swiftly to other Gear levels. PRN ..

But I do noticed it respond a little bit we'll in the morning, when I'm just moving. After a while it starts again.



- I have changed the Gear Fluid to make sure it's up to gauge. Still having the same issue.

- I have asked few technicians here in Ibadan, some are saying it's electrical problems and issues like that. I went to be sure before engaging anyone to avoid any error, as Gear is expensive now.

I'll appreciate your help Sires)Mas. Thanks in advance

Remote diagnosis would be difficult here.
Take it to a good technician to diagnose and undo whatever was done to it.

P0128 Thermostat is either absent or stock open either way you need to replace it
The other two code check the wiring properly.
Thest the sensor manually because the two sensor might not be bad the same time.

I just bought a Honda Accord 2009, everything seems fine, but I noticed the oil life was at 50% when I bought it, the oil life dropped to 40 within a few days of driving.

I drove from Abuja to Akure from 40%, it dropped to 15 on that single trip. I decided to change the oil, I used Total quarts 7000. I drove the car for two weeks after the oil change, the oil life dropped to 80%.

House Please enlighten me, what do I do? Thank you.
