I noticed rough idling on my Corolla 2003. Got it scanned and it threw up the P0300; Multiple Engine misfire. I changed all four plugs, had the injectors cleaned out... The vehicle was rescanned and the codes cleared. The check engine goes off After driving for about 10 minutes the check engine lights again and the rough idling resurfaces. Now the mechanic is suggesting so many things; timing chain, leaks and even dropping the engine. I'm not comfortable with his guess work... I bought it toks August last year... |

xanie: Did you rescan? What codes did it throw after the rough idling resurfaced? |

@gazzuzz please I've 2000 Camry. The coolant in radiator reduces always but I can't detect any leak but my mechanic asked me to change to double cell. Is that a good advice. I refill the radiator after a short distance. What else may be causing the constant shortage. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 4:38pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
kelechiodo: A leak, or water is entering the combustion chamber and exiting the exhaust. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kelechiodo(m): 4:43pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ:thanks so much. You are right because I noticed white smoke this morning. Please what's the solution. I need to advise my mechanic. I stay in Enugu. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Grupo(m): 5:50pm On Oct 06, 2021 |
kelechiodo: Do you also notice the white smoke when you are driving? That white smoke you saw in the morning may be as a result of condensation. Just saying. Let's wait for the ogas. 2 Likes |

Gazzuz Goodday. I use a 2007 Lexus es 350. I noticed that when I start the car and shift the gear to Drive, the car Jerks forward with force after which I start driving normally. My mechanic immediately suggested it was the oxygen sensor and it was serviced but to no avail. I've been on the issue for weeks now, I scanned twice and the results show that gear and gearbox are both okay, the only issue was with the "park neutral switch" which we have replaced but the issue persists. I stay in Enugu state, what seems to be the issue? please can you kindly advise me? |

GAZZUZZ: Thanks boss. Please is the solution to replace the catalyst? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kookny(m): 9:48am On Oct 07, 2021 |
kelechiodo: similar issue here, but a higher version of Camry. I don't usually use coolant. I just need to keep refilling water max 3days. No over-heating yet. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Kokomo: 12:23pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Kookny: perhaps a blown head gasket, do you notice any misfire? when idling or driving? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Structuralman: 12:51pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Kookny: Also check your radiator cover to ensure the leakage is not from there. 1 Like |

please i want to change my ac compressor on my 2006 toyota solara any idea on how much it cost the former one just got blown and it was smoking from the hood i had to park for awhile cause i was scared my car was going to catch fire�� |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by DukeNija(m): 8:22pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Yktv: Start by changing your mechanic. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:04pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
aluluwan: I don't think you should just give up on your old compressor. The coil in the clutch could be the culprit, a blocked system could receive relief from a valve on the compressor . Have it investigated |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:05pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
Yktv: With a scan tool check charging voltage 13.5-14v, also replace rage switch if faulty |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Yktv: 11:26pm On Oct 07, 2021 |
GAZZUZZ: Thanks for replying sir. I'm a total noob with cars so it's not clear enough. If you have the time, can you explain better? |
