Please, what could probably cause occasional hard starts on a Hyundai Sonata 2013 (turbo)? If I start the car in the morning, it runs fine. However, when I park and try to restart it after a while, it has a hard start. If I switch off the car and restart it, the car runs fine again, and there's no engine light code on the car. The mechanic advised me to keep using it until the problem shows itself. Also, the car runs fine.

Hello everyone. Pls my Lexus es350 2010 display screen is malfunctioning. Something the touchscreen won’t click at all making it hard to start my AC or audio. If I turn the car off for some minutes it works normally again . What is wrong . I hope it’s not the screen ooo

jceesquare:

Try this. Turn on the ignition without starting the car and leave it in that position for 5 seconds then start. If it starts fine without delay, then you'll need to change your entire fuel pump assembly.

Factory screen or android screen?
My factory screen has that problem too.
It has stopped working entirely so I use the auto AC to control the AC

ReformerD:

Good day all,

Please I have a 2007 Automatic Toyota Yaris, petrol, which uses an electric throttle

The issue is that it will accelerate to 70 or 80mph and won't go past that level no matter how u press the gas pedal, it will just become sluggish/heavy

Mechanic said maybe we should change the gas pedal or throttle body

So this morning I scanned the car with my portable Bluetooth scanner
And got 2 error codes
1. P0016 crankshaft position sensor
2. P1585 throttle control unit malfunction
(I have attached the scan result)

Kindly advice on the first steps

You can still turn on the ignition for push to start sir by pressing the button without depressing the brakes.

What's your repair history?
What works did you do on the car before now?

kingvicking:


Changed spark plugs and one ignition coil
Also before that, car was doing break and quench and being very sluggish

So we cleaned MAF and throttle body
The rewire also adjusted something on the electric throttle pedal

I like this mechanic


Since you do t have any codes, then it is not electronics , look into possible mechanical issues like low fuel pressure .

So far, once the ignition is leave on for awhile and try to start, it start fine .

jceesquare:

The codes you got would definitely cause all issues you're experiencing. Changing coils and plugs might not be the right approach.
You might have to run a live data stream to know what's really happening.
For your timing code, your technician would have to go over the car's timing and associated components to be sure nothing is off.

jceesquare:

You have a bad fuel pressure regulator.
Change complete fuel pump assembly.

Good morning Everyone.

What could be the reason for my car jerking when I’m accelerating especially when it’s changing gears

Mechanic said it’s fuel pump and nozzle. I’ve fixed that but still jerking.

I use a Toyota Camry muscle.

Thanks for your response.

ThatIgboBoy:


I experienced this last year. I even thought my alternator has given up because prior to then my battery light was coming up on my dash occasionally. The rewire checked my earth wire. Used sandpaper to clean where the earth wire was attached to the engine. And the car started. Even the battery light that was occasionally coming up on my dash stopped appearing. This happened September last year and since then all has been good.

jceesquare:

You should have started your diagnosis with a simple scan.

Here is the scan results after scanning.

Hello GAZZUZZ

I have a nagging issue with overheating on my Lexus es300, it overheated and mechanic worked on it but then I carelessly forgot to close the cover when topping water and it overheated again.

Luckily I noticed the temperature and shut the engine on time, mechanic came, check it and said everything was okay and topped the water. wahala now is notice the coolant reserve boiling steaming hot when I after like 40 minutes of driving with the AC.

The water returns back to the reserve with the temptature needle still in the middle also.

What can do to fix this?
