A/f = Airflow sensor (right?).

Getting the CVVT and O2 sensors may prove difficult due to my current location.

I don't know if you have them in stock?.


I don’t have them in stock sir

Replace the valve cover gasket. Gum will not solve the problem. Buy a new gasket and replace the old one.

Check the refrigerant in your system. Low refrigerant can sometimes cause what you are experiencing.

Have an AC technician who uses a gauge to check it though and check if the compressor is failing.

Replace the Valve cover Gasket plenum to stop the oil leaks and also have the AC system checked by a competent AC technician.

My Toyota RAV 4 2015/2016 engine goes off while driving or warming the car... This started when my fuel tank was changed cos of fuel leakage from previous tank.

It happened yesterday morning while warming the car and today again while driving undecided

Then today, I noticed TRAC OFF light is on and I have tried to switch it off to no avail. I even watched youtube video on how to off..nothing worked

Three problems am facing

Car engine goes off while driving/warming
TRAC OFF light is on
Check engine light won't go off

You need to go over what previous technician fixed, then have a competent technician to diagnose the car. If you’re in abuja, you may fix an appointment with me to do this for you.

The scan results then said we should clean the injector something... We bought fuel purifier and poured into the tank.. It didn't work

I just called my mechanic to get back to the guy who previously sold us the new tank. Cos the guy said if issues still dey that he will need to change the fuel tank again.. The thing is beginning to give me psychological issue

I am in Surulere Lagos

If it is the 4plugs engine and it happens only on first start up in the morning, the culprit is the VTC actuator and the ultimate cause of its failure is the use of wrong grade oil and/or prolonged oil change intervals.

If you feed me with a scan data I can give you a potential solution to this problem.

Thanks,

@ Kingreign. Belgium or new shocks which is better. Keeping in mind that most new ones are China made

Okay, this might be what I was suspecting. It all boils down to the oil you use and the replacement interval.
On the bright side, you may not spend any money on parts because this code is synonymous with clogged screen filters shrouding the openings of the VTC solenoid. Rather than referring you to any of the guys I know, I would give you this video link to use as a guide to direct your own mechanic on what to do.

I've had a few bad experiences referring car owners to other mechos when I'm not there to supervise what's going on.

So here's the link:

Change to thicker oil weight if you’re using lighter oil weight, or keep checking and topping frequently, if you want to take it a step further, get the pistons rings, PCV valve and valve stem seal replaced or buy a tokunbo Japanese Camry engine.

how much does tokunbo Japanese Camry engine cost? just asking

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 cry



The car is having gear problem....you can repair the gear or you buy another one....

Boss Kingrein well done. I was using Mobil 20w50 and my RPM rarely moved to 4000rpm except moving upward a hill it was usually at 2000 - 3000 rpm . Since I changed to Shell Hellix 20w 50 moving up to 4000rpm occurs often. I'm confused now if to go back to Mobil or continue with the Shell Helix. Camry 2.2.

Find out why it does so. Your car doesn’t use a a VVT system so scan it.

Good day kingreign, my 2003 2az-fe Camry shorts engine oil. I noticed that oil escapes through a hose from the valve cover through air filter pipe to idle air control valve. My oil drops massively after 3wks of service.

Replace PCV valve, top up oil to appropriate levels, check for leaks fix it, observe if oil burns or escape.
