Good morning
My car idle rpm fluctuates. Sometimes too high and after driving for some minutes it will go down. And most times it will go so low while driving which makes d car to off sometime (most especially in traffic). Sometime it will be difficult for the car to restart because the battery will appear so weak to restart the car. I’ve changed battery and also work on the alternator when I was informed it was doing slow charging.
Whenever throttle body is cleaned it will get better for like 2 days and start misbehaving again.
Base on my rewire suggestion to stop the slow charging issue, I decided to change the throttle body yesterday but surprisingly the RPM has remained above 1 since and even this morning when I start the car it was so high almost getting to 2000rpm at idle. The mechanic guy told me that it will normalise with Time which I don’t know how long it will take.
Please what could be the next thing I will do to get a normal rpm?
I drive Camry 2004

Is your car cable throttle?

kingreign:


Is your car cable throttle?

I don’t even know but it looks like this

kingreign:


Change Mechanic, get the right belt routing for that car, check ALL pulleys and their grooves to ensure they're straight, smooth, and are aligned.

thanks

kingreign:

I’ve just confirmed from my mechanic is not cable throttle

Good morning bro.

I have been hearing rattling noise at a cold start whenever I start my car for a while, then later on the rpm always has a high start of 2 and it will come down to 1.5.

I scanned the car and it shows Camshaft, my mechanic said the noise is coming from the timing chain. I have never opened the engine before since I bought the car and the engine has never been opened, it took us a while before we opened it.

After opening it, we saw part of the damper on top on the timing chain is broken and the chain is moving freely. He then said we have to open the side of the engine that side that the alternator are fixed so that we can look for the missing part of the damper to prevent it from causing more damage. It failed off after he opened the side.

But it cause damage to the gear teeth of one of the camshafts,the front one, it also spoiled the sprocket. That's all. Today I am going to buy these 3 items

Front camshafts complete

Sprocket

And the damper.


Any advice? And would the car efficiency be normal again like before opening the engine. I don't like the idea of opening engine but I don't have a choice it is necessary as not to cause further damage. The mechanic is really good.

Thanks in anticipation

I have no advise, because I have no idea of the car and its usage/maintenance history, or competence of the technician fixing it.

abiolag:

Yes

Thank you sir,

But let's assume all things being equal, like the above things you mentioned are all good.

Can the car work in good shape after the repair.

Here, we don't assume. We work with real facts, we don't give hypothesis. I dont even have the faintest knowledge of what you're talking about. No detail of the subject, nothing.

kingreign:


Yes

Ok I’ll revert back

I changed the knock sensor today and it's working fine for now, still on testing mode...
Thanks for all your replies.

Testing testing testing..
After changing the knock sensor, I enjoyed it for few days, the car move smoothly select well without sluggish.
Just yesterday as am about to overtake one car, it start to sluggish again and I Have to match it up to pick.

I was so worried and I took it to rewire and he scanned to detect that the knock sensor they changed was fake.
The code below Is what the machine saw:

P0325 knock sensor 1 circuit ( Bank 1 or single sensor

P1346 VVT sensor/ Camshaft position sensor circuit range/performance problem bank 1

The rewire now said he will buy tokunbo knock sensor that will work, but I saw some new knock sensor on JUMIA

I will appreciate any help.
Thanks

What's causes a car to vibrate when on rough road for example a road filled with granite.. but on smooth roads, there is no vibration.

You're answers are highly appreciated.

Do you expect the car to glide over the rough surface?

jceesquare:

Do you expect the car to glide over the rough surface?

Oh I thought it wasn't normal and has to do with wheel alignment. For example if the surface is filled with granite, the car vibrates with noises.

Since the road is rough, it must be due to loose wheel linkages interfering with velocity transfer to the wheel. This is my best guess. This might be why, while on smother surfaces with less wheel joint movement, those loose parts are less troubled and move less so, better velocity transfer and smoother rides on smoother surfaces. What vehicle do you drive? Have you spoken to a specialist?

Suspension noises and vibrations cannot be diagnosed remotely. You'll need a technician to physically inspect your suspension.

Please l drive Acura MDX, my battery always run down in the morning, and when parked for a prolonged time even when everything is off, Rewire could not detect what's running the battery down, please what should I do?

Does the car start when you take out the battery?
If doesn't start even when you disconnect the battery, then you have a bad battery.
But it starts after disconnecting the battery, then you'll need a technician with multimeter to perform a parasite draw test on your car.

What year is your mdx?

@Alertman24 I support what @jceesquare has said, to get a technician. Please make sure that you handle your vehicle only with specialists.

When did this start and what was done on the car that made this start happening?

Your repair and complains are not related. What did you fix before or after replacing the fuel pump?

All four? Even if you put on your Hazard?

Repairs not related but confirm your rewire may have messed with the fuses.

If you can do DIY, check fuse number 22 and replace with a 15A fuse (e no pass ₦200)

For reverse gear, scan with a high end tool to confirm you don't have any transmission codes.

This looks like village people, but if you have a competent technican/electrician plus exorcist, it will help.


Actually, check your fuse box and it's relays/fuses.
