You want brand new or fairly used?

chukel:
the scan you did was useless if after getting P0302 you went ahead to change all plugs, coils and nozzles, even fuel pump. There was no need doing that scan. Your problem is with cylinder 2. No coil issue. No fuel pump issue. I'm sure you threw in the wrong plug. Better put back your old plugs. U need to check the compression of that cylinder 2.

Wow.. What a community.


Pls a car of ours is giving us a serious issue. Toyota Corolla.
Its driving well. But has refused to reverse when initiated with the gear. You match throttle but it just keeps revving without any backward movement.

Mechanics have tried but i find it hard to trust all these kazeems... blame that on past experience.

Although we intend selling it but a second thought is telling me to scan the car and see what the real issue might be.

But pls if anyone here has previously encountered this issue, or you have any idea as to what the actual issue might be, pls kindly help before i make any drastic decision.

Thanks in anticipation

kingreign:

What year is the Corolla?
Ever tried scanning it and also checking under the transmission sump to observe if it has an impact or even to check the colour and smell of the transmission fluid?

Coolgent:

Anyone

holysaint1:



the corolla is 05, the color of the transmission oil is light/black mixture and it does not have a smoky smell.

after reading, it showed "solar noise". was quite surprised it wasn't a code.

also another twist now is that coupled with the previous issue, currently, it doesn't change gear.

it just remains at gear 1.

wetin dey cause this one again

Will give you feedback today.
If you're in Abj, you might have to go to my friend's workshop to get it installed and confirm that it is working before you pay.

Do you currently have any codes showing that the sensor is a culprit

Good morning my people, abeg help my life I don put 5 direct tokunbo (engine lose) alternator inside my Honda Civic 06 and everything dey do overcharging ( if it's working without loading it the battery light on dashboard will show,but if I load it with headlight,ac, harzad light and radio after 20 to25 mins the light go off) and my present one is going under charging in sense that it works normal during the day even with AC but once I on headlight plus the AC at night it stops charging . Pls what could be the problem and is the a rewire that can help me around Abule Egba axis. Pls help a brother.

kingreign:


Yes he checked the alternator with his multi meter and but the reason why I don't trust him any more is when he checked at first the output was over 16 voltage on idle when I rev it was around 18 and he was jubilating that the alternator is very good until it damaged my battery...I took the alternator back they did not replace it instead they fixed it and it was not charging when I got home I took it to jankara and after abusing it and going back and forth I saw one that worked but I had it in mind that I need to change it as soon as possible and now that is doing undercharging I went to buy direct tokunbo again that I pointed to the engine they removed it my self and this the fourth one and they are all overcharging and I don't trust my rewire again


Did your electrician test the alternator and battery?
If yes, did he use a digital multimeter?

kingreign:

Thank you boss, I've checked the ground wire and Little checks I can do on my own with the help of Google but I'll appreciate it if someone can refer a good car electrician in the house...
I am speechless, have the fusebox looked at and carefully yet thoroughly diagnosed by another competent Electrician then check the grounds wires.

Coolgent:

No, I am currently in Kaduna.

Sure it's the culprit, CODE: P0036

ThatIgboBoy:


@jceesquare, this brother is close you

jimts:



Depends on what you want to do. One is more of into mech repairs while the other is a diagnostics person.

So if we have a problem description here, I can know which direction to point you.
Thanks

jimts:

Boss thanks I really appreciate, I will do all these and get back to you,thanks for the detailed explanation.


Your problem description matches that of poor/corroded connection terminals either between the B post of your alternator to the battery or between the B post cable to the fusebox. It is a charge voltage regulation problem.
There's a thick gauge single wire connected to your alternator, trace it to the point where it enters the fuse box. Ensure it is not touching any metallic part of the car's body. Also, at the point where it is bolted to the fusebox, loosen the nut and check for corrosion between the terminals. After this, there are two fuses that are linked to your alternator charing circuit, one is a maxi/high amperage fuse. Should be 80A if I remember correctly located in the fusebox in the engine bay. Remove it and check for corrosion or poor connection. The second one is a 10A fuse no4 (voltage sensing circuit) on your dashboard just above the driver's side footwell, check if the fuse is blown or terminals are corroded.

Do these checks yourself if you have the time before you do anything further. Wrong diagnosis cost money and frustration.

jceesquare:


Thanks I'll call you sir.

If you've not fixed the car and don't mind, you can call 07089030689 so we can diagnose the car properly as I'm around Abule Egba.

Burchester:


Camshaft noise issues.

Coolgent:

No, I am currently in Kaduna.

Sure it's the culprit, CODE: P0036

jimts:


Okay, which car is this?

And when does the noise occur, only on first cold start or while running too?

AutoJando

jimts:


So I got the sensor, they asking for 55k for brand new one and 18k for fairly used one.
I am not the part seller but I am negotiating with him to send you at least 3 pcs so you can pick a working one and return the rest. He's my parts supplier so I trust him. You will pay for waybill yourself to and fro

Thanks

Burchester:


Both ?

jimts:

You didn't mention the car?
