richforever123: I have never replace the spark plugs on my IX35 since it was bought in 2013. You are throwing away good money. First you are buying fake plugs, you are better off with foreign used spark plugs than that 1k crap. Brand new original would be best. Sort out the problem causing your plugs to go dark. 3 Likes |

richforever123: You shouldn't be changing the plugs every 2 months. It's abnormal. Find out what's causing the plugs to get soaked and rectify it. Do a car scan. 1 Like |

GAZZUZZ: Thanks for your response What do you think maybe causing my spark plugs to go dark, do you think a leaking gasket, when I remove the spark plugs, I see little or no oil on them Could it be that the N1000 NGK plugs I buy never last generally? |

Help! Help!! Help...My 2005 Toyota Camry "big daddy " revs up to 2000rpm, when transmitting between Gear 1 and 2. It happens when the engine has worked for so long, hot and mostly in afternoon. It now has over 187000 reading on odometer. It was bought in 2019 tokunbo. "Kazeem" suggested we should change the transmission/gear Oil with Gear filter.... Could "kazeem" be right? |

Please I need help on my car AC. At first, the AC was working perfectly, later it was only the fan blowing and not cold at all. Took it to an AC repairer, he examined it and told me some tubes around it bursted and so it leaked. He fixed it and it was working fine again. 5 days after, same thing happened, it was only blowing air and not cool at all. I took it back to the guy. He examined it and told me it was the coil that is faulty. And I can buy a new coil or repair the one there already. Told him to repair thr faulty coil, he did and it is working. Now the issue is it is not cold very well, and if i increase it will only bmow more here than beong cold. Please, i want it to be veru cold as it should be. Somekne says maybe i need to fix gas or maybe it is leaking, i don't really know. Please what could be wrong before i take it back again. I am just tirer of spending money on the same issue. Please help o The car is 2005, toyota corollq |

molybdenum0012: Check the expansion valve of your AC. If it's faulty your AC will work for a few days before it starts blowing like fan without cooling. |

Hello Gurus in the house. I recently changed my engine. The oil used when they did the change was 20w50 Mobil. A week after I changed it to Mobil1 (5w20). I traveled immediately after the oil change leaving the car at home. As I came back, I checked the oil level it was ok. Though it has turned blackish. The drives well, but I noticed that the overheating problem hasn't been corrected. I have scanned it before and equally scanned it again today. It keeps throwing the same codes. P1150 P1130 P0171 NB My mechanic asked me to change the radiator to correct the overheating problem. Please I need advice on how to move forward. Car: Toyota Avalon 2000

kingreign: I was thinking as such .....my Honda revs as high as 3500rpm before transitioning from gear 1 to 2 early in the morning on a cold drive but gradually improves as the engine warms up. |

Eamondash: Is it wrong to have your fan direct and thermostat removed. Mechanics normally recommend the removal due to our weather. Also @GAZZUZZ is it ok to have white smoke in the exhaust on first start in d morning? |

Good afternoon, Acura TL 06 overheats when the AC is turned on especially when the weather is hot but it stays normal at the middle mark without AC. The radiator has been washed, no thermostat and fans run direct too. |
