What we have done so far, We change all the plug, we change all the coil, and the nozzles were serviced,
The fuel pump was also changed, And the car still jerks and misfires ,

Check ECU, wiring and check compression on each cylinder if you’ve changed all these.

Fix misfire if cylinder 1 P0301. Check plug, coil, injector

Then replace the VVT solenoid which causes the rest of the codes

I don’t know what to advise because I haven’t seen or assessed the block to know what’s happening sir.

Hello Sir, I changed my Nissan Pathfinder engine last month 3.5L engine. the engine work fine because I travel with it the following day. But when I got to my destination on the 3rd day morning, my gear was not reversing until like 4 to 5 attempt and nothing is wrong with the drive (this happen mostly in the morning or when I park for long), it still select very well because I travel a lot. Have been driving it like dat since. I don't know what could be the cause but it started 3rd day after I mount new engine. Which should be the first time I used the reverse.

Ur advice pls sir

Immediately when I noticed it, I called my mech attention to it and he said maybe because some of the oil spilled when he was working on the engine. That he will have to top the gear oil and service the filter. He did dat and it actually it stopped for 2 weeks and resurface again yesterday.

I also noticed that button I press to release the gear is soft on like before or maybe I felt that way. Pls could dat also affect the gear not to engage reverse.

The mech said I should bring it tomorrow, that he will service some switch.

Pls tell me what and what I can tell him to check too.

I love my gear and my new engine it move like sport car, pls any help so that they don't spoil the gear for me.

What could be my car problem?
I recently replaced my car brainbox but the key icon on the dashboard doesn't go off and car doesn't start but according to the guy who programmed the BRAINBOX, it's perfectly programmed but he's confused why the key icon on the dashboard keeps flashing.


We scanned it and got code p0606.
Car is Honda civic 2009

For P2401 and P2402, replace your EVAP charcoal cannister. It’s under the car by the Torsten beam.
As for P0420, your catalytic converter or exhaust manifold or O2 sensor needs to be checked.
For the delayed start, a lot of things may be causing it. You need to visit your mechanic or electrician to check and narrow down to the fault and then fix it.

If you’re in Abuja, feel free to contact me if it’s ok by you.

My Camry 03 smokes heavily and the engine compression is very low, I had to park the car since last week at home. My mechanic said I should bring 150k to open the engine and check the crankshaft, rings and top cylinder, which im very doubtful.
Today I scanned the car and got error codes P0303 P0304 and P0300.

Pls kindly advice or recommend a good mechanic around Ago palace Okota. Thanks

If your mechanic can get genuine engine rebuild parts and is skilled in rebuilding engines, then you may go ahead, if not, pls buy another tokunbo engine.
As for location, I don’t know anyone in Ago palace Okota.

Hello sir, I serviced my honda civic 2007 last week, the next day after servicingI noticed the car won't start once. Like I have to try like 2-3 times before it start which was never the case before servicing.

Secondly while driving sometimes VSA triangle and check engin light will pops up and the car jerks a little bit. Thoughit does not happen frequently, but I have not experience this before servicing the car. Once the VSA light pops up, I usually park my car and turn the engine off and on and the light will be cleared. Also I remove the battery terminals to clear the check engine light. And the car will become normal again.

After getting repeated issues I took the car back to the mechanic that serviced it, they scan the car and no problem was found. The mechanic said it probably might be bad fuel

Though I don't experience that starting 2-3 times before the car start again. But the VSA and check engine light still triggers once a while.

Pls what could possibly be the fault becauseI serviced the car from the same mechanic on January and I didn't experience any of this. Last week was my second servicing of the car this year and I am experiencing this problems
