I drive 2003 Toyota Camry

The issue was that my RPM usually goes up and down on its own even when d car is on P(Park). It will just be fluctuating on its own. I changed all coil and plug, clean throttle mouth and fuel injector, changed fuel pump but nothing work until when d brainbox was changed yesterday
I drove it today and it seems d car is moving normal until this evening when I noticed the rpm is rising again. Pls what could be the cause and permanent solution?

Otlevite:
Good evening Sir. I really need your help. I use EOD, 2003. The gear disengages when I'm driving (stops working). I have to shift to neutral and start the car again for the gear to work. It happens often. My electrician disconnected my TPS, the gear stopped failing, but doesn't change smoothly. I bought a new gear and TPS, still the same issue. I really need your help. Thanks.

Did you scan the car and carry other diagnosis/tests before changing ALL these parts?
What if it was air that was leaking from some vacuum lines or the intake?

Note: these are possible scenarios and not from actual tests carried out on your car.

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

abiolag:


It was scanned severally and we follow d result of d scan until it stop showing any error from d scanner but d problem persist. I took it to 4 different mechanic workshops and none could fix it until Rewire suggested we change brainbox. It was removing a very thick black smoke at one stage and won’t drive. Once u start d car and put it in drive it will go off. But we changed d brainbox d smoke has stopped

The only code I could remember was P2196

kingreign:


The Brainbox used, is it exact part number as the original one from your car?

abiolag:


The old one was taken to d market to get the exact number. Though I didn’t check before it was replaced but I have d old one with me

kingreign:


Get the part number of the old unit, the new unit and your VIN and post them here pls.

abiolag:

How do u I get d number of d new one because it has been fixed to d car?

Good morning kingreign

Please I use a Honda Accord 2009 model base model.

I recently noticed that the gear stalls in changing, especially when the car is hot/driven for long. I did a scan and some codes came up.

Please find attached for your perusal

Good morning. My Toyota camry 2004 is jerking and having low power. This is the result i got from using my OBD scanner.
Pls help me understand the fault.
Thank you

kingreign:


Thank you for calling my attention to your car’s issue. However, I would suggest you get a high end scanner that is capable of scanning and diagnosing transmission too. Your scan report shows your scan tool has limitation with this regards. If you’re in Abuja and it’s okay by you, feel free to contact me to perform a scan and other diagnosis.
Thanks.

kingreign:


Your car has pressure control solenoid B performance meaning there is an issue in your transmission. This may cause shift issues bucking harsh shifting, loss of power etc during motion. However, I do not know the state of your engine’s health.
The O2 and AF sensors codes are come other codes you need to address too.

Scan and post codes let’s know what’s going on with the car so we can advise accordingly.

Sunshyne200:



Please can I contact you? I am in Kano and can send the car down to Abuja if need be.

Charisma01:


Thanks but pls what are the 02 & AF about?sensors

Lekan239:
there is no code wen we scan. The mechanic said it probablymight be the fuel

kingreign:

Drive for some days and accumulate over 50km distance then use a better scan tool to diagnose.

kingreign:

AF sensor is a pre-catalytic sensor which monitors and control fuel trim. O2 sensor is a post catalytic sensor which reports the state of health of the catalytic converter. Both sensors are on the exhaust manifold before and aft of the catalytic converter.

Charisma01:

Thanks a lot

Good afternoon

What could make my RAV 2015/2016 XLE model be leaking fuel when the tank is full... I have changed the tank cos of same problem plus leakage.

The new tank is not leaking again, but once I get to the filling station and fills up the car.. Once it fills to the brim, fuel starts pouring from under the car

It is so disheartening. What can I do

id4sho:

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. I also noticed increase in fuel consumption. One of the ignition coil is cracked and black tape was used to cover it. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.
Thanks in anticipation
