Hi Kingreign,

I use a Camry 2010 model, I noticed recently that after parking it for a while maybe 1 or 2 days, It would not start. It did not start today after parking it for 4 days.

Once I switch on the ignition, the lights on the dashboard would show but while trying to start it I hear this cracking sound which comes from the engine/gear section upon listening closely and not from the battery.

Surprisingly, this is not a case of battery issue to me cos the battery in it is still charged but once I use another battery to jumpstart the car it comes up immediately.

The battery I removed from it (my Camry 2010), the moment I put it in another car it starts immediately as well.

Although a gear conversion was done from 22pin to 10 pin gear 11 months ago, All functionality works well with no issue including the gear and I cover a long distance of about 2 hours daily.

To save myself of the stress of changing batteries to jumpstart these days, I always remove the battery head once I am parking it for hours and put it back once I am to leave and this works well but I know this process is not suitable on long term purpose.

NOTE: A complete diagnosis has been done and nothing was seen. The plugs, alternator, air and fuel filter/injector are all in good condition and I do regular servicing of the car. It also has both security and GPS Tracker installed in it which I don't think could be the cause.

I called the man who helped replaced the gear this morning and explained the issue I am facing to him, he said it is the car hertz wire, probably their is a partial or incomplete contact, and he said it needs to be loosen and thoroughly cleaned or replaced if possible.

Please, from experience what could be wrong?

Thanks and I await your feedback

I don’t have an idea what’s wrong with the car but I’d advice you have a competent car electrician check and isolate then fix that issue.

for this code, replace the throttle pedal travel sensor. It’s located on the passenger firewall just behind the shock absorber mounting area under a small brace.
Sensor changed as advised. Car dey take off smoothly. Tanx man!

This is a thread created for people to tell us their vehicle faults and we on our part can give solutions to their car faults. Where applicable, we may make references using pictures, videos and others to provide answers and solutions.

Please, state the name, model and year of your car, type of transmission and engine, and the location of the car to enable quicker response.


Happy motoring!!
please I need help on my Honda eod on.

The car will be vibrating once you put it in gear and hold brake the vibration increases when you now on AC, it only stops when you move. I.e, when its on motion its works fine but immediately you slow down and hold brake it starts vibrating seriously.

What could be the problem.

In addition, the car does not vibrate at all when on reverse either the AC is on or not

Check your engine and transmission mounts.
Also, if your tachometer reads extremely low, due to any reason, it may exhibit similar symptoms.

Good day, please i am using a Nissan maxima 2000 model. Recently i changed the engine but after final installation, i discovered that my car idle is very rough and at some point the car will accelerate itself then return back to normal. That is how the car kept doing, the last mechanic that came did all he could do and even serviced the 6 nozzles still no positive response. Later the mechanic asked me to replace the injector head, right now am confused so i just packed the car in front of my house. Please i need help on how it can be resolved, thank you.

Your technician should get a scanner and scan that car. Then post codes here. I just hope they haven’t breached wires and it affected the ECM

That single difference in part number is an indication that it’s not meant for your car. Your car’s exact part number ought to match all figure and character on the ecu sticker.

In reference this, I got a 02 sensor with part no 36532-RNA-A01 as against car's no 36531-RNA-A01. Difference is 1 & 2. Would it matter on the fuel trim?

What code are you trying to solve?
The 36531-RNA-A01 which is from your car is an AF sensor while the one you bought is an O2 sensor and do not carry out their operations in any similar way.

You wouldn’t expect me to sugar coat it for you, or do you?

The engineers and designers who designed and installed the particular transmission in YOUR CAR did it on purpose. YOUR mechanic coerced YOU to change YOUR VEHICLE’s transmission from 13pin to 10pin for reasons known him which although, YOU Initially showed some resistance, but bulged into HIS suggestion.

Now tell me, is this NOT a one chance or you want me to tell you it’s a mistake on YOUR mechanic’s part or on YOUR own part?


I guess YOU loved it and YOU didn’t find it insulting when YOUR mechanic rendered YOUR car immobile for over a month only to come to an online forum and start to define what an insult and a nauseous feeling is or is not.

It may interest you to know, the chance laid before you is 20/80. YOU may end up spending more money to ensure the car attains a ‘’managable’ state to move around or even replace that transmission and redo the wiring again.


I come in peace and no offense meant, If you find my comment offensive, it’s how you decide to perceive it.


And no, I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND OR NOT TO RESPOND TO ANY COMPLAINTS. MY response on YOUR complaint on MY thread DOES NOT prove whether I am more or less a professional, because you aren’t paying for a professional consultancy fee and shouldn’t dictate how professional I should be.
I was wondering how long it would take you to start a thread grin

What is the difference between an AF sensor and an O2 sensor?
Thought they mean the same thing?

Excuse my ignorance and teach me.
A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine.

O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times.

Thank you bro. No wonder I still have that code after changing the sensor. I bought an oxygen sensor instead of AF sensor. I thought they are just interchangeable words.
