ikdaddy01: Advise your mechanic that when he's cleaning the throttle body he should not manually open the throttle body with his hand. Make sure someone depresses the accelerator pedal to open the throttle body so that the cleaning spray can go in properly . And be weary that after cleaning your throttle body the car's rpm at idle will increase but not to worry . The car's computer will gradually readjust the rpm. Hope I'm making sense. I've cleaned my throttle body before and I directed my mechanic on what to do. Thank God for the internet. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Good Morning Guys, please I seriously need your help. I took my car, Toyota Camry 2005 v6 to the mechanic on Friday to change the engine seating, on my way back as I tried throttling, I heard a sound like the engine is short of Oil or about to "knock" . And the oil is properly gauged. I serviced not too long ago & have only covered 2000 miles. How do you advise me to go about fixing this. I have parked the car @home. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by chrisja(m): 10:55am On Mar 28, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ:I have owned it for 9 months (bought it tokunbo) I have only used 1 type of oil, Mobil Super 2000 5w-30. |

Hello guys. I changed my Matrix 2005 boot due to broken glass. The new boot has different color. So I got it painted last week. The issue is that the painter used paper and tape to cover the back camera before spraying. Camera is not clear again. I cleaned the lense with tissue yet no difference. I used petro and cloth. It became worsened. Experts in the house. What can I do? |

Good morning oga Gazzuz. I bought a tokunbo lexus IS250 5th of this month, I noticed after a few hours that of driving, engine light and traction light came on. But car was still moving fine, I traveled with it last week and found out that the gear doesn't exceed 3... I scanned and it's showing code P0761, P0420, P0430. It now takes a lot of fuel. The car dealer is refusing to do anything about it. Can the gear problem be fixed or It means buying a new one? If it's buying a new one, then I have to sell the car and count my losses |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:23am On Mar 29, 2021 |
Kanshi1: You have no catalyst |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:30am On Mar 29, 2021 |
eightsin: The 430 and 420 codes are just missing catalytic converters The main issue is the 761 code. Personally I don't think it's a serious issue, start by unplugging the socket on the transmission and search for corrosion on the pins . What the P0761 code means If the P0761 code appears, it indicates that the powertrain control module has detected something out of the normal range in shift solenoid C. The automatic transmissions are controlled by computers, and they use these shift solenoids as a means to move fluid between the hydraulic circuits. This helps to make changes in the transmission gear ratio. These are necessary when changing the speed of the vehicle. They also help to ensure fuel efficiency and to make the most out of the engine performance. |

can the catalyst be replaced with 'packing' to muffle the sound? my mechanic told me the packing does same work as the catalyst. GAZZUZZ: |

Brunel: wise thing to do is run a straight pipe. Stuffing will lead to blocking will only damage engine . You can use this to solve the codes. https://www.nairaland.com/6280487/catalytic-converter-problems-cheap-solution 1 Like |

Good morning, Gazzuz. What would you say would be a realistic value for fuel consumption per KM for a Toyota Coaster bus in Lagos? Is a value of less than 4 KM/L truly due to traffic situation...seeing that originally, the vehicle is meant to do about 7 KM/L or thereabouts abroad. Please, anybody with info should help... |
